pre/Post tan instructions

Before Your Appointment:

  • Detailed, customized instructions will be sent before the appointment.

  • Shave or wax 24 hours prior to your service.

  • Exfoliate with an oil-free product.

  • Arrive with fresh skin (no lotion, makeup, deodorant, or perfume).

  • Wear or bring dark, loose-fitting clothing.

During the Session:

  • Avoid friction and moisture on the skin.

  • No skin-to-skin contact to prevent transfer.

  • If using an overnight solution, wear long sleeves and pants.

  • During warm weather, avoid sweat-inducing activities. A setting powder can help.

Post-Tan Care:

  • Follow customized first time rinse instructions provided at your appointment.

  • First rinse with lukewarm water; limit shower length; avoid loofahs or scrubs.

  • Pat dry with a towel—do not rub.

Maintaining Your Tan:

  • Start moisturizing 12 hours post-spray and continue daily.

  • Resume normal soap showers 24 hours after the spray.

  • Avoid moisturizers and body washes with alcohol, mineral oils, or sulfates; steer clear of Dove products.

  • Limit exposure to pools, oceans, and hot tubs which can prematurely fade the tan.

  • Rinse immediately after these activities and use tan extending body wash and lotion.

Avoid:

  • Anti-aging products with AHA/retinol and topical acne medications.

  • Schedule manicures, pedicures, massages, and aesthetic treatments before your tanning appointment.
