Before Tan
The outcome of your tan is dependent on how well you prep!
1. All beauty services (waxing, facials, mani/pedi, microblading, lash extensions, etc.) should be done at least 24-48 hours before spray tan appointment
2. Shave & exfoliate skin 12-24 hours before spray tan appointment. Use an exfoliating mitt along with your body scrub and face exfoliant to remove dead skin & any previous self-tanner or spray tan. Don't forget to exfoliate your armpits, knees, ankles, and elbows!
3. Shower the night before your spray tan appointment and DO NOT use Dove or Olay products. Please use vegan body care products. You can find vegan body products at your local Target or Walgreens. Brands include: Native, Raw Sugar, Love Beauty & Planet, Hempz. (body wash, exfoliators, etc.).
Day of Tan
spray tan time!
1. If you need to shower before your appointment, RINSE WITH COLD WATER to close your pores and try to do this within 3-4 hours of your scheduled appointment.
2. Do NOT apply any tan barriers such as deodorant, lotions, perfumes, etc.
3. Wear dark, loose fit clothing & prepare for any weather conditions (i.e. if it's raining, wear close toed shoes & bring an umbrella). ALWAYS wear loose fit PANTS to your appointment to avoid skin to skin contact & smudging after your appointment.
After Tan
Time for the tan to develop!
1. Do NOT rinse until you are instructed to do so. You may use your hands to wipe away the bronzer, but DO NOT use a loofah or exfoliating mitt during this time.
2. Do NOT use any soaps (bar soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, etc.) during your first rinse
3. Moisturize your skin 2x a day, avoid exfoliation/shaving to extend the life of your tan, & avoid hot showers/baths
4. Avoid using brands such as Dove, Olay, Aveeno, and other brands that are not vegan. These products will strip your tan. You can find vegan body products at your local Target or Walgreens. Brands include: Raw Sugar, Love Beauty & Planet, Hempz.
