Properly Prepping for Tan:

Before:

It is very important to have clean, dry and exfoliated skin. Any residue on the skin may act as a barrier making the tan less effective. Exfoliate your body with a oil-free based exfoliant prior to your tanning session. You make use a wash cloth and brown sugar to exfoliate. Wax or shave no more than 24 hours prior to your spray tan appointment. Refrain from applying any lotion, oils, fragrances and deodorant to your body prior to your appointment. You may wear a bathing suit, underwear & bra or nothing at all!We provide a very private and professional tanning experience for all of our clients and will make you feel comfortable throughout your tanning appointment.

After:

To ensure a long and beautiful tan, avoid contact with water for at least the first 8 hours for a standard tan. Please bring flip flops or sandals to wear after your appointment. It is recommended that you wear loose clothing without elastic waistbands or straps. Also, wear clothing that is darker in color due to the bronzer in the tan possibly rubbing off on your clothing, but should easily wash out. Avoid bar soap especially Dove and the like. Use a mild body wash to extend the life of the tan. After showering apply a highly moisturizing paraben-free & sulfate-free moisturizer each and every day to extend the life of the tan and allow for even fading. Avoid exfoliants, hot shower and Jacuzzi soaks. Excessive swimming and perspiration can fade your tan as well as chlorine pools and hot tubs. Make sure to always use sunscreen. Your spray tan is not to be utilized as a sun protection. The better prepped your skin is for the spray tan and cared for after will determine the longevity and quality of the tan.

With proper moisturizing your tan is expected to last 7 to 10 days!
