Only use lightweight or water based lotions for the duration of your tan, like CeraVe or Cetaphil.
Avoid retinols and oils, as those products may strip your tan.
When you shower, just use soap in the areas you need. Do not suds up your entire body.
Don’t exfoliate with loofahs, body scrubs, body washes or soaps with exfoliating beads until your tan starts to fade or you are ready to remove your tan.
Pat dry after showering.
Limit the amount of shaving, as this is also a form of exfoliation.
Apply moisturizer after shower and every day after 24 hours of your tanning session. This will help prolong your tan.
Maintaining your tan:
Don’t wash your hands for 4 hours. Use hand sanitizer only on the palms of your hands.
Don’t put on tight clothing for at least 4 hours.
Refrain from any rubbing action of body skin during development time.
Don’t carry a clutch, heavy purse or backpack under your arm or over your shoulders.
Wait at least 8 hours before showering if you have chosen a solution other than rapid. Your first shower should be a “water” rinse. This means no soaps, lotions, oils, hair washing, or additional showers for 24 hours after your appointment. You may see color washing off the first time you shower, this is normal, it is not your tan, it is just the bronzer.
If you have chosen the rapid solution, please do one “water” rinse at the directed time frame given to you. This means no soaps, lotions, oils, hair washing, or additional showers for 24 hours after your appointment.
Don’t exercise for 24 hours and until you have washed off the bronzer.
After 24 hours your tan should be fully developed. Keep in mind soaking in a jacuzzi or bathtub will lighten your tan and make it fade quicker.
Don’t apply moisturizer until 24 hours after your spray tan appointment and you have rinsed off the bronzer.
Immediately after your appointment:
Wear loose, dark-colored clothing and flip-flops.
Apply a light cosmetic concealer over age spots, freckles, moles, etc. to avoid them from getting darker.
Ladies may be sprayed nude, in bathing suits or in undergarments. Disposable thongs are available upon request. Those with male anatomy are required to wear underwear, boxer shorts, bathing suit, jock strap, thong, or something that covers the male anatomy.
You will be required to have a space big enough for a 4x4x7 tanning tent.
During your appointment:
Wax 2 days before your appointment or shave the night before.
Shower and exfoliate properly using a body brush or quality scrub the night before.
Don’t use deodorant, makeup, perfume or moisturizers the day of your appointment.
