What To Do
Before and After Your Spray Tan
After Tanning Care
WHAT TO WEAR AFTER YOUR TAN
• Dark, loose (baggy) clothes - A loose, dark colored, strapless sun dress is perfect! Tight fitting clothes can cause skin friction in the first couple of hours after your spray tan and this may affect the outcome of your tan. Any rub-off of the bronzer should easily wash out of most fabrics. Avoid Nylon or Wool as these may absorb the bronzer.
• Open shoes (flip flops) – do not wear tennis shoes or socks. This will rub the tops of your feet and ankle area and rub off the tan.
DO'S
• Shave – Use CONDITIONER to shave, not bar soap or shaving creams.
• Moisturize - Moisturize (very important) daily. It is great to use a DHA tan extender on showered, damp skin.
• Soap - Wash with a mild, moisturizing shower gel and a gentle bath poof or hand.
• Pat Skin / No Rubbing - When drying off, pat skin...do not rub skin.
• Sleep in your spray tan - If you choose to sleep in your spray tan (recommended) please cover your bed with dark sheets and pillow cases so that any bronzer does not stain your regular sheets.
• Sun block – The spray tanning solution contains no sun protection. Please be sure to protect your skin and wear a daily SPF.
DO NOT'S
• Water – Do not touch water at all (except to drink) for 10 hours after your tan.
• Baths / showers - DO NOT SHOWER FOR 10 HOURS - If at all possible, wait overnight to shower and allow the solution enough time to react with the amino acids in your skin. Shower normally. You will see some color wash from your skin. This is completely normal, and was only the bronzer. Avoid long, hot baths and showers.
• Sweating - Avoid any activity that would cause sweating; exercise, cleaning, or showering, as your spray tan is developing during these hours.
• Exfoliate - Avoid exfoliating skin (even when drying off with a towel). No microdermabrasion.
• Dogs – Dogs tend to LOVE the spray solution because of how tasty it is! Do not let your dog lick your tan or it will leave a white mark on your skin.
• Other Tips - Some products can cause faster fading such as bar soaps, alcohol based products such as toners and astringents. If you are going to be in a pool or at the beach, be sure to wear a thick “waterproof” or “sport” SPF to create a barrier between your tan and the water.
• Do Not Use – Band Aids, Face Masks, Bioré Pore Strips, Anti Aging or Anti Acne products, hair removal creams and shaving creams.
