SPRAY TANNING ADVICE
Before your tan.
Wax and/or shave your body as required at least 2 days before your tan. Waxing the day before or day of your spray tan can cause tan to rest in your opened pores and may potentially cause skin irritation and sensitivity. Shaving the night before or day of the tan can leave grooves in the skin for tan to rest in causing a streaky tan appearance.
Exfoliate your entire body the night before your spray tan. If you exfoliate, it will take longer for dead skin cells on the surface of your skin to build up and fall off. Your tan will last longer and fade better if this layer starts off shallow.
Do not have a hot shower prior to arriving for your tan. The heat and steam will cause your pores to open and allow your spray tan to settle into your skin unevenly. If you must shower before your tan, finish it off with an ice-cold rinse to close and tighten your pores.
Facials should be avoided right before a spray tan because the tan will go into the open pores on the skin and create blackhead-looking spots. Not ideal! we recommend waiting at least a day after getting a facial, or letting your therapist know so they can avoid spraying your face.
A spray tan should never be done after a skin-care treatment that uses lasers. This is because as the top few layers of the skin peels off, the tan will go with it. We recommend waiting until your tan has completely stopped peeling before getting your spray tan.
Day of your tan.
On the day of your tan lease follow these sets of instructions:
Please arrive with no makeup on. Makeup will cause the tan to not set on the skin properly.
Please do not apply deodorant or antiperspirant the day of your tan. The aluminum makes your underarms turn green with a spray tan, which can stay for a few days - not pretty!
Please wear loose, preferably black clothing to your appointment. We recommend wearing no bra as the rubbing and friction can cause bra lines in your tan.
Caring for your tan.
Your aftercare instructions will be emailed to you after your appointment.
Wash your hands 1 hour after your spray, being careful not to splash water on any other parts of the body.
When showering for the first time, the cosmetic bronzer will wash off. This is normal. Please wait a minimum of 2 hours before your first rinse. We recommend waiting between 4-6 hours for a darker tan. Please follow your Therapists advice on the length of time to leave your tan on before showering.
For your first rinse, please do not use soap. With a luke warm shower apply medium pressure with your hand to wash off the cosmetic bronzer on your skin.
Allow the tan 24 hours to develop.
To maintain your tan, keep the skin well moisturised. You can even get a gradual tan extender to help prolong the life of your tan.
