the secret to a longer-lasting glow

24-48 HOURS BEFORE:

• Exfoliate and shave. Exfoliate your entire body with a natural body scrub (water will work) or mitt. PLLLLEEAAAASEE NO TREE HUT!

• Give some extra attention to the neck, elbows, and underarms.

• Scrub your underarms to remove deodorant build up.

• Manis/Pedis should be scheduled at least 24 hours prior.

• All waxing services should be scheduled at least 24 hours prior.

• STOP using DOVE, DIAL, OLAY soap ASAP.  I carry spray tan friendly soap to use before and after your tan. 

DAY OF:

• Make sure there is NO product on your skin the day of appointment. Your skin should be free of lotion, fragrance, makeup, and deodorant. THINK NAKED!!

• IF you have product on your skin just rinse off with water 4 hours before appointment (I will be able to tell if you did not follow these instructions and this could lead to your tan not developing as it should).

• Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAY TAN

STAY HYDRATED AND MOISTURIZED

The more hydrated your skin is, the better your tan will look. Lotion 2x a day with a spray tan friendly lotion (no mineral oil). I recommend a body butter with cocoa butter or shea butter as a main ingredient. (Ask me, I may have some spray tan safe moisturize available to purchase).

SHOWERS

Avoid loofahs or washcloths during showers. A clear, gel-based body wash is best or a hydrating bar soap (NOT DOVE!). I Carry spray tan friendly soap that is designed to extend the life of your spray tan.

ACTIVITY AFTER YOUR TAN

Avoid pools & hot tubs for long periods of time, long hot showers/bath, saunas. Your tan has a chance of not lasting as long if you plan on doing these things repetively or for long periods.
