• Any pampering to prepare your skin should be completed 24 hours in advance. This includes waxing, shaving, sugaring, hair appointments, manicures, and pedicures.
• For optimal results, arrive to your appointment with clean and dry skin. Please do not use lotions, deodorants, makeup, or perfumes prior to your spray tan.

EXFOLIATE

Lightly exfoliate your body with a dry brush, exfoliating gloves, or loofah before your spray tanning session to remove any lotion, perfume, oils, etc. from the skin

• Exfoliation and Shaving should be done at least 24 hours prior to or at the very least no less than 4 hours before your spray tan appointment. Exfoliation is extremely important to achieve the most even tan. You can shower the same day as your spray tan as long as you waited the proper amount of hours for the solution you were sprayed with.2/3 hours with Figi express and 8 hours with Tahitian and Lava.

• We recommend bringing a swimsuit or undergarment that you want to tan in, preferably black, if you are not comfortable spray tanning nude.
• Wear/bring loose fitting clothing for after your spray tan. Loose style sundress, pajama pants, loose sweatshirt etc. preferably avoid yoga type leggings or sweatpants with elastic bands, and clingy clothing such as jeans, shorts, tube tops, bras, or spandex as they will leave markings and can remove the tan.
• Wear light weight flip flops or slip-on slippers/Uggs for ease of on and off and no markings on the feet from the solution.
• Rainy days, be sure to bring a raincoat to cover all skin and umbrella!
• Men are required to wear swim shorts or underwear to be sprayed in.

RINSE

For long lasting results, shower with no soap for the first shower. Avoid using loofahs and washcloths when showering with a spray tan until you are ready to scrub off.

• This first shower should just be a light rinse to remove the bronzer, you can expect to see a brown cosmetic bronzer run off…this is normal.

TAN DEVELOPMENT

• During the development of your tan please make sure to avoid getting wet and touching your spray tan with your hands. Water or liquid will strip the spray tan where it lands on the skin and touching the tan with your hands will leave your fingers with dark tanning marks. Be careful sitting on light colored furniture as the spray tan can come off on surfaces. For best results, book your spray tanning appointment in the evening once you have finished errands and chores. This way you can sleep in your tan and will have less risk of possible issues during development. (8 hours for Tahitian and Lava solution and 2/3 hours for Fiji Express)

POST TAN

• Keep your skin primed and in healthy condition by moisturizing 2 to 3 times a day especially after showering or getting out of water. For the first 24 hours avoid sweating. During your tan life, sauna, pools, hot tubs, water soaking and any repeated activity that causes excessive perspiration will fade your results much quicker.
• Do not spray tan within 2 weeks of a sunburn, your skin can and will peel days/weeks later and cause the spray tan to turn out blotchy where new skin is.
• Be sure to properly exfoliate off an old spray tan before coming in for a new spray tan, to assure the best possible results.
• REMEMBER, a spray tan is the LAST important beauty appointment before your event or vacation.
