Below is all of the information you’ll need to know before and after your organic spray tan!
Shower and exfoliate with scrub that does not contain oil 24-48 hours before spray tan.
Save the day before a spray tan.
Don’t wear any lotion or body creams day of tan.
Don’t wear any deodorant or fragrances day of tan.
Wear loose dark fitted clothing to change into after tan.
Wait 1-4 hours to shower/rinse. Not recommended to leave on longer than four hours.
After the first rinse, tan will disappear BUT will develop in the next 8-12 hours.
Tan will turn dark prior to first rinse.
The color that comes off in shower is the bronzer, not the tan itself.
Don’t use soaps, shampoos or lotions for at least 12 hours after the first rinse.
Shower between 8-12 hours after tan.
Tan will turn dark prior to showering.
The color that comes off is the bronzer not the town itself.
Can use soaps, shampoos and lotions after shower.
SEASONAL/WEATHER CHANGES
During the summer months, we perspire more. Sweating naturally causes dead skin cells to accumulate at a faster rate, thus causing the skin to exfoliate more rapidly. During the winter season we are more prone to dry skin.
STAY HYDRATED!
If not properly staying hydrated, the skin may be drier than usual.
HORMONAL CHANGES
Hormones can have a significant effect on the skin and the outcome of the spray tan.
BODY WASHES/SOAPS
Some body washes/soaps may act as a barrier to sunless tanning solutions. This is why it is important to exfoliate prior to getting spray tanned.
ANTI-AGING/ACNE PRODUCTS
Some of these products can prevent the DHA absorption into the skin. They too can create a barrier for the tanning solution.
MEDICATION
Any current medications that are being taken can affect the outcome of the tan.
SHOWER TEMPERATURE
Warm showers are the way to go. Hot water can cause the skin to be dry and/or itchy.
