A great tan starts and ends with you...

Before & After Care

Pre and Post Spray Tan Care is incredibly important to a long-lasting, radiant tan.

Prep Before Your Tan

  • Shower and shave your legs 10-12 hours in advance, no sooner

  • Exfoliate with an exfoliation glove

  • Avoid lotions, body spray, perfume and Dove soap

  • Do not apply additional deodorant prior to your appointment

  • Complete all other spa services AT LEAST 24 hours prior to your appointment

  • Avoid retinol products at least 3 days prior to your appointment

  • Be prepared to re-dress post-appointment with loose-fitting, dark clothing, slide on sandals (no socks!), long pants without elastic bands are preferred.

What to Expect

  • Step 1: Consultation - determine your desired outcome and discuss how deep or golden you can expect from your tan experience and add-ons such as coconut scent or glimmer drops

  • Step 2: What to Wear - disposable undergarments and pasties are provided, if you prefer.  If you choose to wear your own garments for your tan, they may be stained by the bronzer.

  • Step 3: Balance - pH balancing spray is applied to increase the longevity of the tan and even out your skin.

  • Step 4: Barrier Cream - Apply barrier cream to your hands, feet and other areas, if necessary.

  • Step 5: The Spray Tan Experience - Luxury airbrush spray tan experience, 1 -2 coats of aloe-based solution, drying and blending

  • Step 6: Finishing Powder - Adding on finishing powder to remove stickiness and provide insurance you won't rub off your tan during the development stage.

After Care

  • Do not get wet after your spray tan until your scheduled rinse time.  This includes: rain, washing your hands, changing a baby diaper, cooking, having your pet lick your skin, sweating, wiping your face with a napkin.  Excuses are provided to husbands and boyfriends to excuse you from any unnecessary activities that are detrimental to your tan.

  • At rinse time: hop into a warm, NOT HOT, shower and use your hands only to rub off the bronzer until the water runs clear, pat dry.  Do not use soap.

  • 24 hours post-tan, you may shower as normal and use spray tan approved lotion.  Do not use Dove soap.

  • Shave gels, exfoliating body wash, alcohol-based products and very hot showers will diminish the life of your tan.
