1

BEFORE YOUR APPT

Exfoliate your entire body 24 hours before your appt! Use a wet washcloth, loofah, or exfoliating brush (scrubs or products are not recommended). Removing dead skin will allow your tan to process evenly. Do not apply lotions or moisturizers the day of your spray.

AT YOUR APPT

You will want to wear loose, darker clothing like a slip over dress, button down baggy shirts, loose pants with waistbands folded over, etc. Wear loose footwear (flip flops, sandals, etc) will help keep your tan processing evenly and without marks when you leave.

AFTER YOUR APPT

When it's time, use a bar of soap (any brand), NO liquid washes. Using your hands, apply a pressuring circular motion to remove all bronzer - paying special attention to all joints, feet, ankles, fingers/hands. Your tan results can be affected if not removed completely.
 
Best advice before your appt?
The absolute best tip to achieve your best results is exfoliation. You can do this with a wet washcloth, loofah, or exfoliating brush 24 hours before your appt. Removing dead skin will allow your tan to soak in properly and evenly. You will also want to make sure you have no body lotions, heavy makeup, or deodorant on for your appt. Wearing dark loose fitting clothing with easy shoes (flip flops, sandals, etc) will help keep your tan processing evenly and without marks when you leave.
I've never had a spray tan, how does this work?
Once sprayed, you will have an instant-bronzed look. After the recommended processing hours, you can shower with soap and water (no body washes). Your tan fully develops within 10-12 hours after showering.
How long does a spray tan last?
Typically, anywhere from 7-12 days. It will depend on your level of activity, how well you take care of the tan and the condition of your skin. For best results it is recommended that you use aftercare products to keep GLOWING!
How many days prior should I get sprayed before an event?
We recommend 2 days before your special event if possible; 24 hours works but at least 5-8 hours day of.
I don't see an appt time that works for me.

I am super pale! Will this work for me?
This is exactly why the spray tanning was invented! We custom-match and mix for each client based on their skin tones so you will get a personalized color for you!
What is DHA?
DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient in most sunless tanning products. It is a sugar molecule which is naturally-derived from the beets or the sugar cane. This ingredient reacts to the amino acids on the surface of the skin to simulate a tan. The intensity of the final tan will depend on the strength of DHA contained within the product.
Will your products transfer on clothing or sheets?
Although our formulas have been created to dry quickly and to be transfer resistant, we recommend wearing loose fitting, dark clothing after the application. If you are to sleep with your tan, we recommend wearing full length clothing. The solution is water-soluble and can easily be removed from most all fabrics.

When can I shave?

What do I wear to my appt?
Wear loose, darker colored clothing is best. We suggest loose pants or a loose sundress with flip flops. Leggings, jeans, tight pants and shirts are NOT recommended.
Manicures, pedicures and waxing?
Pedicures, manicures, waxing or eyelash extension appointments should be done 24 hours before your spray tan. If you are doing pedicures or manicures the same day as your appointment make sure NO lotions are applied. If you must get them done after your spray tan, choose a polish change only.
Air or car travel after my spray?
Sure! However, you will want to follow a few tips to ensure your finished tan is perfect after travel. Be sure to wear loose, dark clothing that covers ALL your skin so you will not rub your spray tan on any seats/arm rests. Keep yourself cool so you don't sweat and move the bronzer (or leave water marks) while processing. Avoid sneakers or heavy covered shoes that may rub your bronzer off or leave sweat marks on your feet/ankle areas. As always while processing, be careful eating and drinking and avoid touching your face...and definitely no hand sanitizer or washing until your first shower.

Will a spray tan cover up my tan lines?
We'll try to even them out for you but there is no guarantee for a total cover up. Most often, we are able to blend a much less tan line to help them look less noticeable.
Will a spray tan protect me in the sun?
No, our tanning products do not contain any UV-protective agents. Our products do not protect skin from being sunburned and your skin can still tan. You should always apply sunscreen prior to sun exposure.
