Prepare to get your bronze on!!!
-
All waxing, shaving, manicure and pedicure services MUST be done 24 hours before your airbrush tan appointment.
-
Shower and exfoliate using a scrub the day prior to your appointment. It is imperative to remove product buildup, body oils and dead skin cells in order to allow the product to fully penetrate. Your tan will not develop 100% if any barriers are on the skin.
-
Please avoid any bar soaps, Dove, Olay and Pantene products before and after tanning.
-
Please DO NOT SHOWER RIGHT BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT as the heat will open your pores and can adversely affect the tan by not allowing total absorption of the tanning solution. If you must shower the day of your tan, shower only with cool water and avoid using any soap, shaving cream or exfoliant products.
-
Please do not shave the day of your tan as the razor may cause your skin to be uneven and the moisture strip to leave a barrier on your skin.
-
Under no circumstance can you receive an airbrush tan if you have had a sunburn within two weeks of your scheduled appointment.
Aftercare
-
Wear or bring dark, loose-fitting clothing to change into at the end of your tan. Tanning solutions wash out of most clothes very easily but may stain some materials.
-
If it is raining, make sure you are covered up. also, please do not expose your skin to any water (i.e. brushing your teeth, washing your hands, coloring your hair, watering plants) if water or any other liquid gets on your skin, it will wash off that area of your tan, while the rest of your tan continues to develop. this will result in lines, splotches, streaking, etc..
-
Use an SLS free body wash and avoid anything which may exfoliate your skin such as long, hot baths, exposure to chlorinated water, or exfoliating gloves or sponges.
-
Wait a minimum of 8 hours before you moisturize and moisturize the morning and night for the life of your tan.
-
The average tan lasts 5 to 7 days depending on your skin and at home maintenance, a good skin care routine is essential when taking care of your spray tan.
-
​Alongside continual moisturizing we strongly recommend a tan extender. tan extenders keep your tan looking vibrant and can extend the life of your tan to 14 days.
-
Do not exercise until 8-12 hours after your tan.
-
If you rinse and notice streaking down your legs, this is because the legs typically get run off from the shower which is not enough pressure to wash off the cosmetic bronzers. Take your hand and rub in circles to get the cosmetic bronzers off.
