After Care Instructions
Be sure to follow the correct after care for your spray tan development time!
⏰ Rapid Glow | 2-6 Hour Rinse Time
⏰ Regular Glow | 8-12 Hour Rinse Time
After YOUR APPOINTMENT
*We HIGHLY recommended that you do not allow your spray tan to over process + to rinse within the suggested/discussed window during your appointment!*
STAY DRY
Avoid getting your hands or body wet until after the recommended set time. This means no showering, sweating, washing hands, doing dishes, etc.
LOOSEN UP
Wear dark + loose-fitting clothing during the set time. If you are worried about your sheets, lay a towel down or flip your pillowcase inside out.
TAKE A CHILL PILL
No excessive movements during set time! We recommend waiting 18 hours* before exercise or activities that can make you sweat.
[ *be sure to complete at least your first rinse before a workout. ]
HANDS OFF!
Avoid touching or rubbing your face + body during development in order to keep your hands from being stained by the solution.
*no cheeto fingers! *be aware of hand position when sleepinG
ALL NATURAL, BABY!
Avoid using any soaps or lotions until your second shower. The first shower is to rinse the bronzing solution off. Your tan is still developing + soaps/lotions can leech out or wipe off the tan from being able to set + develop properly. Avoid applying make-up, oils, lotions, deodorants and perfume until after your first shower.
Avoid exfoliating products or activities such as shaving, loofahs/scrubbing in the shower, acne washes or creams, and retinol.
*if these products or activities are a must for you, please know they are likely to cause your tan to fade more quickly in areas.
DON'T FORGET!
If you leave home after the spray/while developing, wear flip flops/loose shoes, no shoulder bags + take an umbrella incase it rains!
If you have pets, do not let them lick you while your tan is developing.
When it is time for that first shower, do not use soap. Just a water rinse is recommended. If needed, you can lightly wash pits/privates but keep the soap/WASHING HAIR very minimal. The goal is to get in and out in a speedy fashion!
Pat dry with your towel. Keep the water temperature lukewarm for that first shower.
If you will be sleeping with YOUR FRESH SPRAY TAN on; go to bed wearing long clothes TO HELP PREVENT TRANSFER OF THE TAN TO UNWANTED AREAS.
Maintenance
Taking short showers & moisturizing daily with a natural lotion will help lengthen the life of your tan.
