PRE & POST CARE

We all want that beautiful, healthy glow and a custom spray tan is the best way to get it.

While spray tans can leave your skin looking and feeling amazing, there are a few spray tan tips to help you make the most out of your tan. Making the most of your spray tan means taking time to prepare before your session and being mindful of spray tan care in the days following.

before your appointment

24/48 hours before your appointment "YOUR EVERYTHING SHOWER"

Shaving or waxing, and exfoliating should be completed at least 24 hours prior.
This allows the skin to settle and pores to close, ensuring an even, streak-free finish.
Wash your hair if needed (as you will have to avoid shower/shampoo 24hrs after appointment)

Exfoliation is essential

Use an mitt to gently/ thoroughly remove dead skin cells.
Pay special attention to dry areas such as the feet, ankles, heels, elbows, knees, and knuckles.
Smooth, fresh skin creates the perfect canvas and helps your glow last longer.

Clean skin

On the day of your appointment, please avoid lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, makeup, sunscreen, or any skincare products.
Bare, product-free skin allows the solution to develop beautifully.

Moisturize in advance

Keep skin well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment, but do not moisturize on the day of.

Plan other services accordingly

Manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages should be scheduled a 1-2 days before your spray tan.

What to wear after

Choose loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing to protect your glow while it sets.

Gym & Sweat Activities

We recommend completing workouts earlier in the day and rinsing (no soap) a few hours before your appointment. For best results, avoid deodorant or body products after your rinse. Reminder no sweaty actives 24hrs after your appointment.

IN SUMMARY, THE SKIN SHOULD BE PERFECTLY CLEAN, BARE, DRY, AND EXFOLIATED PRIOR TO THE SESSION.

after your appointment

Avoid activities that stimulate sweating or contact with liquids during the developmental period. If it is raining or snowing outside and you need to leave the house, wear long, covering clothing.
If you accidentally touch your skin, clean your fingers or inner hands with a wet and soapy cloth while carefully avoiding wetting the rest of the hand.
Do not apply cream or makeup to the skin during the development period. If the appointment is in the evening, go to bed wearing long clothes. Wait 8 to 12 hours or 2 to 5 hours before taking a shower, depending on the solution (classic or express).Refer to the artist for the appropriate delay.
Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water runs clear. For the first shower, it is recommended not to use soap.
Suggest using a gentle cleanser that is sulfate-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free. (Cerva is a great option)
Moisturize the skin daily (day & night) with an appropriate lotion - sulfate-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free. (Cerva or coco butter is a great option) Avoid oily or exfoliating ones as well as brushes. Beware of strong anti-acne products that dehydrate the skin!
Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan will start fading, it’s essential to exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residue.
Do not apply perfume directly on the areas that have been sprayed. The alcohol present in perfumes can affect the spray tan.
Excessive sweating, hot tubs or saunas, prolonged hot baths, or frequent showers can cause faster discoloration.
Do not epilate the areas where the solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shave can be done occasionally, but most wait 24/48hrs after the appointment with a brand new razor.
A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.
