AFTER CARE OF YOUR Spray Tan
Set time vs develop time:
- Set time – how long the solutions sits on your skin. (2-12 hours depending on your spray tan customization).
- Develop time – the time until the tan is fully developed. 12-24 hours after the appointment.
- Clothing – wear loose-fitted clothing during the SET time. Best to keep your bra off during the set time. Color may appear on white clothing but will wash off during the laundry cycle.
- Rinse – rinse the solution off under lukewarm water after the customized set time. Do not use soap! Always pat dry, do not rub.
- Hydrate – drink plenty of water. This keeps your skin hydrated from the inside out. Your skin will love this…and so will your mind, body and soul!
- Moisturize – Moisturize with lotion RIGHT after the first rinse and then again in the morning and evening with an oil and paraben-free moisturizer.
- Shower – shower the next day like normal. We recommend using a natural/non-acidic body wash. Pat dry.
- Avoid – avoid skin-to-skin contact during the set time. Also, avoid water and soap during the set time as well as fashion tape, bandages and hair removal.
To prolong the longevity of your tan – minimize exposure to harsh scrubbing, hot water, steam rooms, baths, hot tubs, harsh chemicals, pools, salt water, massages and excessive sweating. Anything that will exfoliate the skin will contribute to losing your tan faster.
To remove the spray tan – exfoliate when you are ready to get rid of your tan, use an exfoliation mitt for your best results.
