🌟 Spray Tan Preparation Instructions 🌟

To achieve the best results and enjoy a long-lasting, even glow, please follow these important steps before your spray tan appointment:

1. Exfoliate

Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells. Pay extra attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
⚠️ A loofah is not enough. While it may feel like it’s exfoliating, it doesn’t effectively remove the buildup of dead skin cells needed for a smooth, even tan. Instead, use a body scrub or exfoliating mitt designed for deeper exfoliation. This ensures your skin is a clean, fresh canvas for your tan.

2. Shave or Wax

If you plan to shave or wax, do so 24–48 hours before your session. This allows your pores to close so the tanning solution doesn’t settle in and create dark spots.

3. Nails, Waxing & Beauty Services

If you’re planning a pedicure, manicure, or facial waxing (such as lips, eyebrows, or chin), please schedule these services at least 24 hours before your spray tan. This prevents the tanning solution from settling into freshly opened pores and ensures a smooth, flawless finish.

4. Skip Lotions, Oils & Deodorants

On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, dry skin. Avoid lotions, oils, deodorants, and makeup, as they interfere with the tanning solution.Your Armpits WILL TURN GREEN!!

5. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing

After your tan, choose loose, dark clothing to prevent rubbing or staining. Flip-flops or loose sandals are best to protect your feet while your tan sets.

6. Stay Dry After Application

Your spray tan artist will guide you to when to first rise after your spray tan, Until then avoid water, sweating, or showering so the solution can fully develop. Do not go to the gym, swimming, or do activities that may cause perspiration.

✨ Tip: Schedule your tan 2 days before an event (like a wedding or photo shoot) for the best glow in the spotlight!

✨ Did You Know?
A flawless spray tan is 90% preparation and only 10% about the artist, solution, and aftercare.
Your skin prep makes all the difference—when you exfoliate properly, avoid lotions, and follow these steps, your tan will apply smoother, last longer, and glow more naturally.

⚠️ Important Notice
We will not spray tan over an old spray tan or sunburn. The outcome will not look good, so please reschedule if needed.

✨ Spray Tan Aftercare Instructions ✨

To keep your spray tan glowing beautifully and help it last as long as possible, follow these simple but important aftercare steps:

🌟 1. First Shower

Depending on if you did a rapid solution or a traditional solution, your spray tan artist will tell you how many hours to keep it on before your first rinse.
Use lukewarm water only (no soap, scrubbing, or exfoliating).
Rapid Solution- Don’t worry—seeing the bronzer wash away is normal! Your tan is still developing overnight, Trust the process.

🌟 2. Moisturize Daily

Hydration is key! Apply an oil-free, hydrating lotion every day—especially after showering. BUT wait until 24 hours after your spray tan, then it is fully developed.
This keeps skin soft, prevents dryness, and ensures your tan fades evenly.

🌟 3. Avoid Harsh Products

Skip products with alcohol, sulfates, or acids (like AHA exfoliants), as they strip your tan.
Stick with gentle, moisturizing cleansers.
Avoid exfoliating until you’re ready for your next spray tan.
Shaving will strip the tan, sitting in a hot bath will strip the tan, sitting in a Hot Tub will strip the tan, overnight NO, just alot faster than normal.

🌟 4. Pat, Don’t Rub

After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a towel.
Rubbing can lift color and cause streaks.

🌟 5. Limit Water Exposure

Prolonged swimming—especially in chlorinated or salt water—can fade your tan faster.
If swimming, apply a waterproof sunscreen to help protect your glow.

🌟 6. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin healthy and glowing from the inside out.

🌟 7. Touch-Ups

For small faded or uneven areas, use the touch-up spray given to you in your spray tan appointment.

✨ By following these aftercare steps, you’ll extend the life of your spray tan, keeping your glow flawless, even, and radiant for days to come! ✨
