Book your spray tan appointment at least 48 hours prior to any major event
Schedule any manicure, pedicure, facial, waxing or hair appointments 24 - 48 hours before your spray tan
Shave at least 12 hours before your spray tan session
Shower the day before your spray tan and be sure to exfoliate well
No lotions or oils on your skin after that prep shower
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing to your appointment, and if possible, slides or flip flops
Post-Tan Maintenance
Your first post tan rinse should be at least 12 hours after your spray tan
Do not pee in the shower! Urine could streak your tan
The first rinse is to be fairly quick, with only warm water and no products
The water running off your body will be brown
After your shower, pat dry and moisturize generously (see longevity tips)
Avoid washing your hair as those products could impact your tan
Avoid activities like swimming or that cause excessive sweating to maintain your tan's quality and longevity
Spray tan solution does not contain sun block, always apply sun protection!
Moisturize your skin regularly now to maintain your spray tan
Avoid moisturizers with AHA. (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) as this ingredient promotes exfoliation. Also avoid any type of DHA product that has a self tanner as these can turn your tan yellow
