The most common questions we get from our clients
Pre/Post Tan Care
Preparation guide
Wax+Shave
waxing should be completed at least 48hours prior to your appointment and shaving should be completed at least 12 hours before your appointment.
Exfoliate
Stray away for body scrub/loofah combo as most are oil based and will leave a residue. Instead use an exfoliating mit.
No barriers
Forgo any lotions, oils, deodorant, perfumes or makeup the day of your appointment. All these can create a barrier on the skin that the tan will not adhere to.
Clothing
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing with open-toe sandals.
Mani+Pedi
Complete manicures and pedicures the day prior.
Showering
Any bar soaps/cream based body washes (Dove specifically) are known to leave a residue on the skin and can create a barrier that the tan cannot penetrate through and may leave streaks.
Any gel based body wash is best. Showering should be completed at least four hours prior to tanning to allow your pH levels to neutralize.
Spray tan maintenance guidelines
Before rinsing
Do not get wet or sweat until your initial rinse. This means no showering, working out, lotions or liquid foundations on the skin until after you take your initial rinse.
No touching
If you touch yourself while your tan is developing, this could result in stained palms.
Initial Rinse
If you do not rinse at your developled time, your tan may develop too light or too dark. Do not use soap. Temperature should be lukewarm. If you see streaks after getting out of the shower, hop back in and use your hand to guide the leftover bronzer off.
Stay Hydrated
The more hydrated your skin is the longer your tan will last. Your moisturizer should be free of mineral oil and artificial fragrance
You may use our tan extender lotion that contains DHA after day three. In addition, be sure to drink lots of water.
Activity Check
Avoid swimming in the pool/ocean for long periods of time, long hot showers/baths, saunas and excessive sweating.
