Prep, Session & Post  Tan

Exfoliating is a must at least 12-24 hours before tan with exfoliating mitt (loofah/washcloth may leave streaks)

Refrain from scrubs or products with oils at least 24 hours before tan

Shave/wax 24 hours before tan

Do not shower day of tan, skin will not absorb the solution which results in lighter color and streaking

Have no existing self tanner on or old spray tan

Avoid using Dove products, oils,lotions, perfumes & deodorant day of tan (creates a barrier)

• Dove products are known to quickly fade tan and can make tan blotchy due to the barrier it creates.​

Any spa services (mani, pedi, facial, massages) should be done 24 hours or more prior to tan​

Avoid water activities 24 hours before tan (pool/ocean), chlorine/salt can alter your tan

For a special event a trial tan is recommended so color can be adjusted if needed

A consultation to decide what product works for you

Prep spay is complimentary to prime skin if needed (oops! deodorant)

Barrier cream is complimentary to use on palms, elbows & heels

FDA recommended products are available (lip balm, face mask, nose filters, wink ease, disposable undergarments for women) as well as shower caps & hair ties & are all complimentary

2 coats of solution will be applied, except on hands and feet which receive 1 coat, face is optional (no spray, 1 or 2 coats)

A dust of finishing powder will be applied at the end

After your tan leave wearing loose, dark clothing & flip flops, if raining bring an umbrella (rain will streak your tan)

Do NOT wear:

• jeans, leggings​

• any kind of bra

• tank tops, tight tees

• tight elastic waisted pants

• sneakers, socks, strappy sandals

• red clothes (reacts with DHA)

Your given rinse time is NOT optional! Times vary between 1-4 hours depending on the level of darkness wanted (you CANNOT get wet/sweat during this time)

At rinse time (set a timer) rinse with cool/like warm water only. Guide bronzer off with hand if needed. A lot of color will come, this is normal. Do NOT shave, use soap, oil, lotion and do NOT wash hair at this time. Pat dry, do NOT rub.

After your rinse you may wear whatever you choose, you may get wet or sweat (minimal)

It takes 12-24 hours for tan to fully develop. After you rinse, you will look lighter, but it will continue to develop.

After 24 hours from your session you may shower and wash hair (no scrubbing)

After your first "real" shower, begin using moisturizer twice a day. Lotions specifically for spray tans are best to help prevent streaks, blotches and fading (products available to purchase)

Using a tan extender & mitt are beneficial to help with fading & prolong the tan. Tanning mousse is also helpful for touch ups & fading (both available for purchase)

• Tan extender- lotion with a touch of a DHA to keep up the tan​

• Tanning Mousse- mousse with higher DHA for more color (use daily to reach desired color, keep on 8 hour minimum)

• Rapid Tanning Mousse - mousse with higher DHA for more color (keep on 1-4 hours depending on desired color)
