BEFORE
The Prep
EXFOLIATING & SHAVING
-
Exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before your spray tan.
-
You may exfoliate up to 5 hours before, but avoid using soaps, body washes, or shaving creams.
-
Use an exfoliating mitt for best results.
BEAUTY SERVICES
-
Complete all beauty services — nails, waxing, brows, lash extensions, and hair removal 24–48 hours before your tan to avoid interference with the solution.
HYDRATION
-
Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and moisturizing daily in the days leading up to your appointment.
-
Well-hydrated skin holds a tan longer and more evenly.

AFTER
Fresh Tan?
WHILE YOUR TAN DEVELOPS
-
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.
-
Avoid bras, tight leggings, or silk/satin fabrics that may rub and cause unevenness.
-
Your tan will continue to deepen over the next 24 hours.
-
The longer you wait before rinsing, the darker your tan will develop.
-
Avoid touching your skin until your tan is fully rinsed.
FIRST RINSE (Lukewarm Water Only)
-
Rinse with lukewarm water only — no soap, no scrubbing.
-
Keep the rinse quick: about 45–60 seconds, until the water runs clear.
-
Gently pat your skin dry.
-
If your tan looks uneven after rinsing, don’t worry. Step back into the shower for another quick rinse. This usually evens out the colour and removes leftover bronzer
Tips for aLong Lasting Spray Tan
-
Moisturize daily with a tan-safe, fragrance-free lotion (avoid Dove and heavily fragranced products).
-
Avoid chlorine, saunas, hot tubs, and salt water, as they can shorten the life of your tan.
-
Skip oils, scrubs, and long hot baths, which will fade your tan faster.
-
Pat your skin dry—don’t rub.
-
Avoid soap and hot showers for the first 12 hours.
