Mandatory  Glow  Preparation   & Spray  Tan  Maintenance

Luxury Results Begin with Intentional Care

To ensure a flawless, even, and long-lasting glow, proper skin preparation is essential. Your spray tan is a customized skin treatment experience—please follow the guidelines below for best results.

📌 Retinol-based products and other active ingredients can interfere with your results.  Avoid them 10 days prior to your appointment or opt out spraying the face.

24–48 Hours Before Your Appointment:

📌 Exfoliate thoroughly using an oil-free exfoliant or exfoliating mitt. Pay special attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, hands, and feet. 

📌 Never exfoliate on the day of your tan. Your skin needs time to regenerate its skin cells + amino acids, which are essential for DHA (the active tanning ingredient) to properly develop. 

📌 Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to allow the skin to calm and pores to close.

📌 No Dove soap or body wash before your session, as they can leave a residue that disrupts your tan’s development.

📌 The Day of Your Appointment:

• Shower only. Arrive with clean, dry skin—free of lotions, oils, deodorant, makeup, perfume, or sunscreen.
• Do not moisturize on the day of your tan.
• Wear loose, dark clothing and opt for flip flops.
• Remove all jewelry prior to your appointment. Permanent jewellery is ok.

📌 For an Elevated Result:

• Avoid spa services, manicures, pedicures, or massages the day of your tan, as product residue may interfere with your glow.
• If deodorant must be worn, please inform your artist for removal. It may turn that area green.

📌 A Gentle Reminder:

Your spray tan is designed to enhance your natural beauty. Proper preparation allows us to deliver the radiant, seamless, and timeless results Liquid Sunshine is known for.

You are the Statement. Your Glow is the Accessory.

Protect Your Glow. Prolong the Luxury

Your spray tan is a customized skin treatment designed to evolve beautifully over several days. Following these aftercare guidelines will ensure maximum longevity, even fade, and radiant results.

First 8–24 Hours After Your Appointment:

• Avoid water, sweating, rain, or activities that cause friction until your first rinse. This will give streaks to your tan.
• Wear loose, dark clothing and avoid tight garments, bras or footwear that may cause rubbing. Tight garments will leave marks.
• Avoid sitting on light-colored furniture or bedding during this time.
• Apply "spray tan safe moisturizer." Drink lots of water for hydration.

Your First Rinse:

• Rinse in lukewarm water only—no soap during the initial rinse. Soap will stop the spray tan from processing
• Allow the water to gently run over the skin until the cosmetic bronzer has washed away.
• Pat dry with a towel. Do not rub.

Daily Glow Maintenance:

• After your first rinse, moisturize twice daily with a fragrance-free, oil-free lotion to extend the life of your tan.
• Use gentle, sulfate-free body washes when showering.
• Avoid exfoliating until your tan has fully faded.
• Shower with lukewarm water and keep showers short to maintain depth and tone.

What to Avoid:

• Long hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, and chlorinated pools.
• Heavy sweating or high-friction activities when possible.
• Products containing alcohol, retinol, acids, or exfoliating ingredients.

For a Seamless Fade:

Maintain hydration and consistent moisturizing for an even, natural fade.

• Use  Face Tan Water,  Tan extender lotion [low DHA] to lengthen the shade..

• Book your next appointment in advance to stay glowing effortlessly.

• When you are ready for your next spray tan, follow the glow preparation.

This isn’t Just a Tan—It’s a Lifestyle.
