Pre & Post Spray Tan Appointment Instructions
We are so excited for your spray tan appointment with us! Here are some pre and post-tanning tips to ensure the best outcome and longest lasting tan possible!
Before your appointment:
-Shower and exfoliate prior to your appointment with a scrub/gloves/loofah. Having soft, smooth, and dry skin will help the tan solution adhere evenly to your skin. (Do not use any skin products including moisturizers, serums, deodorants, etc. the day of your tan appointment).
-We recommend you get waxing or mani/pedi services done at least a day before tanning. (Waxing right before your tan appointment is possible, we will make sure your waxer is aware you have a spray tan appointment right after).
-If you want to shave, please shave before your appointment, (same day is ok).
-Bring or wear loose fitting dark/black clothing and breathable shoes the day of your appt. We recommend not wearing a bra for a few hours post tan. Spray tan solution will not stain cotton or polyester, but it does stain silk! Please do not wear any silk until after you have washed the tan solution off.
-Lastly, think about the color of tan you'd like! Our suggestion for first time tanners: If you have lighter skin, we'd suggest our Light or Medium blend. If you are a little darker and have a darker base already, our Dark or Dark Plus blends are the way to go!
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IF YOU ARE SUN BURNT OR HAVE ANY SUN DAMAGE IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO DO A SPRAY TAN. IF THIS APPLIES TO YOU PLEASE CONTACT THE STUDIO AS WE MAY NEED TO CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT.

After your tan appointment:
-Wait 6 hours minimum before showering. Be sure to not get wet in the 3 hours post tan, and avoid working out and sweating before you wash the tan solution off. (In some cases, bronzer should be washed off 6-8 hours post tan--we will advise during your appointment.)
-Use a mild, moisturizing body wash and moisturize once or twice a day with a water-based lotion. Don't use any lotions with mineral oils, and refrain from using straight oil (coconut oil or olive oil) on your skin.
-When the tan starts to fade in 6-8 days, moisturize to let the tan fade slowly or use scrub/ gloves to exfoliate it all off.
-If you have dry skin, tan may make your skin feel even more dry. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
