How do i prep for the tan?

Step 1: Wax + Shave. Waxing should be completed at least 48 hours prior to your appointment and shaving should be completed with a razor that lacks a moisture strip.

Step 2: Exfoliate. Stay away from a body scrub/loofah combo as most are oil-based and will leave a residue. Instead, use an exfoliating mitt.

Step 3: Spa Treatments. Get your spa treatments, manicures, and pedicures done prior to coming into your appointment. Please make sure that if you have recently had a pedicure there is no residual oil or lotion still on skin - this can act as a barrier and damage your spray tan.

Step 4: Clothing. Be sure to wear loose and dark clothing for after your appointment to avoid transfer of the spray tan.

Step 5: No Skin Barriers. Forgo any lotion, perfume, deodorant, body oils, etc. All of this will act as a skin barrier and possibly result in an un-even or patchy tan.

How do I maintain the tan?

Step 1: Before your initial rinse, do not get wet or sweat. We will tell you exactly what time you should rinse after your spray.

Step 2: Be careful what you touch! Try not to cuddle up to anyone as the spray tan solution transfers. That also applies to yourself!

Step 3: Rinse on time. If you do not rinse at your designated time, you may develop too light or too dark. Temperature of your shower should be lukewarm. Pat dry.

Step 4: Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water and apply a spray tan-safe moisturizer to keep your skin barrier healthy.

Step 5: Avoid chlorine, swimming in the ocean, jacuzzis, and hot showers. All of this will cause your spray tan to fade quickly and unevenly if not following proper aftercare.
