BEFORE YOUR SPRAY TAN

Exfoliation & 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 a tanning mitt for best results.
     

Beauty Services

  • Complete all beauty services — nails, waxing, brows, lash extensions, and hair removal — 24–48 hoursbefore 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-CARE

POST-TAN CARE INSTRUCTIONS

​

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

​

​Aftercare for a Long-Lasting 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.
