TAN PREP

The final result of your tan is dependent on proper prep and aftercare. Please follow our tan prep and aftercare instructions for best results and to avoid tan development issues.

EXFOLIATE

Exfoliate head to toe using an exfoliating mitt or oil-free body scrub (available in studio). Any old self/spray tan should be removed

SHAVING + WAXING

Shaving and waxing MUST be done 1-2+ days prior to your appointment. Shaving and waxing day of will result in a streaky, discolored result

COMPLETE ALL OTHER BEAUTY SERVICES

All other beauty services MUST be done 1-2+ days prior to your appointment (mani/pedi, facial etc)
If you were unable to get your nails done prior to your tan, just a polish change is recommended. You do not want to be soaking/scrubbing/rubbing your fresh spray tan!

DAY OF

Your skin MUST be free of deodorant, lotion, makeup, perfume etc.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SHOWERING DAY OF. Showering day of alters your skin's pH and runs the risk of product residue staying on your skin preventing the solution from adhering and developing properly

WHAT TO WEAR

LONG: Wear long clothing to protect your tan while you're processing. This ensures it won't rub off on your seat/seat belt in the car + prevents any skin to skin transfer. Yes, even when it’s hot out you still want to wear long clothes. NO SHORTS, please!

LOOSE: Avoid anything tight. NO JEANS, LEGGINGS, BRAS, SOCKS/SNEAKERS ETC. Tight clothing will rub off the solution causing a discolored result. Wear open toe sandals/flip flops

DARK: Fresh tans have the possibility of transferring onto your clothing. Our solutions are water soluble and will rinse out of most clothing however, we still suggest wearing something dark (preferably black)

RAIN: If it is raining the day of your appointment, please cover up with long, loose clothing + loose fitting closed toe shoes. Bring an umbrella for extra protection. You must avoid getting wet while your tan is processing

RINSE INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to your first rinse: avoid sweating, getting wet (no washing hands), and touching your skin

Wait the recommended time to shower:

SIGNATURE: 8+ HOURS
EXPRESS: 2-6 HOURS

EXPRESS RINSE TIMES:

2 HRS LIGHT

4 HRS MEDIUM

6 HRS DARK

Using just your hands and water, gently wipe the bronzer off your skin until the water runs clear. If you experiencing "streaking" there may be remaining bronzer, give it another rinse

You will see little to no color after all the bronzer is off, your tan will take 24 hours to fully develop

Hormonal changes (period, pregnancy etc), medications, showering too close to your appointment/improper prep can all affect the outcome of your tan

TAN CARE

MOISTURIZE

Moisturize 1-2x daily using a spray tan friendly lotion

Shaving exfoliates the skin and may compromise your sunless color. Use a new razor and be super gentle

SHAVING

SWIMMING

Limit your time in the water - chlorine and saltwater are very drying. Always rinse off afterwards and gently pat dry with your towel, no rubbing! Avoid hot tubs, steam rooms + long, hot showers and baths.

SPF

Your tan does not contain SPF and will not protect you from the sun. Lather up with a spray tan friendly sunscreen, avoid aerosol and oil based.
