Spray Tanning Pre & Post Care

Shower and exfoliate your entire body (especially dry areas) 24 hours prior to your spray tan.

Use sulfate-free body wash during this shower. Do NOT use Dove or bar soap.
Do any hair removal 24-48+ hours prior to your spray tan, hair removal is optional.
You may apply a light coat of sulfate-free lotion to your skin after your shower but do not use any skincare products such as AHAs, BHAs, Benzoyl Peroxide, or Retinols.
The day of your appointment, refrain from using any products on your skin such as skincare products, lotions, moisturizers, oils, makeup, deodorant etc. These products can act as a barrier in between your skin and the solution resulting in an uneven tan.
Come to your appointment with product-free clean skin!
Wear loose dark clothing to your appointment. Sweatpants are always loved!

EXTRA TIPS:

Drink extra water leading up to your appointment to further hydrate your skin.
DO NOT use Dove Soap!
DO NOT wear deodorant the day of you appointment.. It will cause your underarms to turn green!!
EXFOLIATE using a rough non-oily scrub (Tree Hut Body Scrub is my favorite).
Pay extra attention to neck, elbows, knees, hands, ankles when exfoliating.

FAV D.I.Y. EXFOLIANT

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup coconut oil

Half fresh lemon

10 drops of essential oils (a clean product)

DO NOT get your skin wet during your processing time (before your initial rinse, after your spray)

DO NOT wax or exfoliate following your tan, be extra gentle with your skin
Moisturize twice daily and drink extra water, keep your skin as hydrated as possible!!

FIRST SHOWER AFTER YOUR TAN:

Your first shower after your sunless tan should ONLY be a quick 30 second rinse in lukewarm water WITH ZERO body wash!! Pat yourself dry and change into dark loose clothing.

TIPS:

DO NOT use Dove products or any harsh soaps
When shaving, use a fresh razor as a dull razor will remove your tan
AVOID working out for 24 hours following your spray tan
When showering, use your hands to wash your body gently. No loofahs/exfoliating brushes or mitts.
When you see your tan begin to fade and want to book another spray tan, this is when you can gently exfoliate to remove with a loofah/exfoliating brush or mitt.
