Tan Prep

Products to Avoid: Dove, Curel, Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, All Bar Soaps, Acne Products, Retinol or Fruit Acid Products

Moisturize your skin twice daily with a cream formulation moisturizer, preferably organic.
Exfoliate at least TWICE the week prior to your appointment. Use washcloth and liquid organic soap.
Schedule any waxing, manicures or pedicures at least 48 hours prior to appointment.

Exfoliate your entire body with a non-oil exfoliant and washcloth.
Shave with a brand-new razor and hair conditioner. I recommend Venus or Quattro. (avoid shaving products containing alcohol or razors with moisturizing strips) Rub skin briskly with a washcloth and/or scrub during shower, paying attention to ankles, knees, and elbows, and towel off briskly after shower. Moisturize heavily with an organic cream formulation moisturizer.

Do not exfoliate or shave the day of your tan!
Shower at least 2 hours prior to your appointment with an approved body wash or just rinse with water. Apply no products to your skin. No lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on your skin.
Do not apply body oils, moisturizer or deodorants to skin after your shower. This can create a barrier on your skin prior to tanning.
Bring small black underwear to be tanned in, flip flops or open top shoes as well as dark loose fitting clothing for after tan. No jeans/leggings/tight yoga style pants as these may affect the outcome of your tan.
Bring a large towel to place over your car seat to avoid staining them if wearing shorts/dress after.

Your spray tan session will last 5 minutes and you will take another 5 minutes to dry in front of a fan.
Women may go nude, disposable thongs are also provided as well as hair covers. Men must wear underwear.
Special customized tan will be mixed and applied by an air gun by technician.

DO Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing until your first shower.
DO NOT apply any products to your skin. (Powder, lipstick, & mascara are fine!).
DO NOT exercise, swim, or hot-tub. No sweating before first rinse.
Shower with an approved body wash 3-12 hours after your first rinse. Depending if you chose the fast rinse product or the longer one.
DO shower with a Warm Water Rinse Only. Run your hands down your body until the water runs clear. Pat dry. No lotion or cream after first shower.
You will see some color wash away from your skin. This is completely normal. It is just the cosmetic bronzer.
If you choose to sleep in your spray tan so that it darkens overnight, please sleep in pj pants and a tee top to avoid transfer of any bronzer to your sheets and hands.

Avoid vigorous scrubbing or rubbing in shower or when toweling dry (just pat dry).
Moisturize Twice Daily with an approved cream formulation moisturizer.
If swimming or hot-tubbing, apply water-resistant sunscreen, and rinse with fresh water.
If you must shave in the first 48 hours, use a brand-new razor and hair conditioner.
If you are getting a manicure or pedicure, polish change only, no exfoliation or heavy soaking!
The life of your spray tan depends on the care you take of your skin.
