PRE- AND POST-TAN CARE
The day before
Exfoliation: Thoroughly exfoliate your skin using a mitt or loofah.
Hair Removal: Make sure shaving or waxing is done 1–2 days before your appointment to allow pores to close.
Beauty Logistics: Complete all other appointments (manicures, pedicures, facials, etc.) before your spray tan
The day of
The Final Rinse: Shower several hours before your appointment (not right before). Use a cold rinse and gently exfoliate with a mitt.
The "Clean Slate" Rule: Do not wear makeup, lotion, moisturizer, deodorant, or perfume. These create a barrier that prevents the DHA from developing evenly.
Products to Avoid: Do not use Dove body wash or bar soap. Avoid body oils and products from brands like Aveeno, Bath & Body Works, or Olay.
What to Wear: Bring dark, loose-fitting clothing to wear immediately after your session.
The day after
The First 8 Hours: Avoid all water, including showers, pools, and exercise.
The Initial Rinse: For your first shower, rinse with cool water only until it runs clear. Do not use soap, scrubs, or oils, and do not shave.
Drying Off: Always pat your skin dry with a towel; never rub.
Maintenance & Longevity:
Moisturize: Apply daily to extend the life of your tan, but stick to sulfate-free and paraben-free products.
Shaving: If you must shave, use a razor without a moisturizing strip.
Formula Note: If you look light after your first rinse, don't panic! The tan continues to develop and will reach full color after 24 hours.
Ingredients to Avoid: Stay away from acne products, retinols, and heavily fragranced lotions, as these will strip your color prematurely.
