Prep & Care

For best results, use a non oily exfoliating scrub such as brown sugar or sea-salt preferably 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Store bought exfoliants tend to have oil in them, please check the ingredients; do not use prior to your appointment if they have any oil.
Sea salt, brown sugar, & ground coffee are great oil free exfoliants.
If needed, Shave or wax 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Manicure and/or pedicure should be done prior to spray tan appointment.
Make up must be removed if you want to spray your face.
Do not moisturize prior to your appointment.
Do not apply Deodorant or perfume prior to your appointment.
Do not apply anything on your skin that might prevent the product from absorbing.
Wear dark colored undergarments to be sprayed in. Women may spray with or without undergarments, men must wear shorts/underwear.
Do not use Dove brand products before or after your spray tan.
If you spray tanned 7 days or more before your appointment, you should remove your tan before your next spray tan.
Wear Dark, loose, non strappy clothing and flip flops the day of your appointment or bring a change or clothes that meets this criteria.

If it is raining the day of your appointment, it is recommended that you bring an umbrella and/or wear protective clothing – such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts and a sweatshirt.
If you touch your skin and do not wash the insides of your hands, your palms may end up becoming stained because palms are not supposed to come in contact with the spray tan solution. If you do accidentally touch your skin, wash the insides of your hands as directed by your spray tan specialist!
When needed, wash only the insides of your hands while the spray tan is developing.
The bronzer may get on the inside of your clothes or on your sheets. It should not stain, however we cannot guarantee this. Dark colored clothing is recommended and wearing long sleeves and long pants to bed can prevent the bronzer from coming off on your sheets.

It is recommended that you do not shower for 10-12 hours if you use our original formula and 2-6 hours if you use our express formula. Showering before the 10-12/2-6 hour time frame may lighten up your color and impact the results of the spray tan.
No sweating, swimming, getting wet or exercising until your first shower after your spray tan. Doing so may cause streaks.
DO NOT wash your face before your first shower. This also goes for not washing any makeup off your face before you go to bed. Sleep with your makeup on!
Putting makeup on after your spray tan is okay, however you CANNOT wash your face until your initial shower.
Pat dry after your shower. Vigorous rubbing will exfoliate your skin and your tan will not last as long.
DO NOT use scented body washes – such as Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works. Non-scented/fragrance-free body washes and soaps are RECOMMENDED. SCENTED BODY WASHES AND SOAPS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED. Aveeno lotions are also NOT RECOMMENDED!
Acne spot treatments are also NOT RECOMMENDED during the week your spray tan is on.
Spray tans typically last 4-8 days, however they can last longer or shorter than this. The more you moisturize, the longer the tan can last. You can use any moisturizer, but moisturizers containing self-tanners are not recommended because they can have adverse effects. Any hydrating, non-scented/fragrance-free + alcohol-free moisturizer is recommend!
