Pre/Post Tan Care

• Come showered. Wash off deodorant, lotions, sunscreen, and makeup.
• Shave. Shaving AFTER a tan will strip the tan because that’s where your spray tan lives.
• Exfoliate. You want your skin to be totally clean so the spray really seeps into your skin and lays evenly.
• Bring a hair tie.
• Wear or bring loose fitting clothes like sweatpants, a t-shirt, sandals, slippers, gym shoes and long socks if we are expecting rain.
• I have one-time disposable thongs for you to wear during your session. If you have a swimsuit you’d like to wear, please bring that or you may opt for no tan-lines and go nude— whatever you’re most comfortable with and provides the desired look you’re going for. I do not provide coverage for your chest. I recommend a strapless bra or bikini top.

Before your 1st shower

• Avoid water (sweating, dishes, laundry, washing your face, brushing your teeth and letting it foam up around your mouth, etc).
• Don't wear tight clothes.
• Don't moisturize or shave.
• Don't apply makeup.

PRO TIP: If you smudge your tan, use two fingers in a circular motion from the outside of the smudge inward until the lines are not as harsh. When you shower, it should blend nicely.

For the next 7 days

• After showers, pat dry; do not rub your skin dry.
• Find a time during the day to regularly apply lotion (shea butter is best!).
• Avoid scalding hot water (jacuzzis, hot showers, baths, etc).
• Do not use loofahs, washcloths or scrubs on your skin-- use bar of soap or shower gel.
• Continue to use SPF. A spray tan does not change the way your skin reacts to the sun and does not protect you from the sun/UV-rays.

Please note that these instructions above are recommendations to increase the longevity of the tan. Once your tan is set after your 1st shower, the activities under "7 days" will not completely remove the tan if you go against the recommendations; you should just expect the tan to not last as long.
