Preparing & Protecting your Spray Tan

Preparing for your Spray Tan

  • Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.

  • Shave, wax and exfoliate* the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. 

  • Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing correctly.

  • Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant the day of the appointment. 

  • Moisturize the skin days prior the session (not the day of the appointment).

  • The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit. We supply disposable thongs if you wish to use them!

  • We recommend you to wear looses and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.

*Exfoliation is the MOST important step to achieve an optimal result that will lasts up to 10 days. We suggest to use a good quality scrub with an exfoliating mitt will allow the elimination of dead skin cells and impurities. Pay attention to rough areas like feet, ankles, elbows, armpits, knuckles, collarbones, etc.

If the exfoliation hasn't been done properly, the result could be uneven and fade quickly. Our solutions have been designed to fade gradually and evenly when the skin is properly prepared.

Rinsing & Protecting your Spray Tan

  • Avoid activities that provoke sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period.

  • If it's raining or snowing outside, wear long and covering clothes.

  • Do not apply cream or makeup on the skin during the development period. If you will be sleeping with solutions on; go to bed wearing long clothes.

  • Wait until the appropriate rinse time before showering. This will depend on the solution. Refer to your artist for the adapted delay.

  • Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, we recommend not using soap. Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. Use our recommended body creams sold in the salon for best results!

  • Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long hot baths or showers often can cause faster fading.

  • Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.

  • Use gentle facial cleansers, no oil-based or exfoliating products.

  • Avoid lotion, soap and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading. We have tan safe cleansing products for sale in the salon for your convenience!

  • Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues and prepare for your next spray!
