Preparation |
| Please note: these are general
guidelines only. Speak to your Spray
Tan Technician for more details. |

- Exfoliation is
one of the most
important factors in
preparing your
skin for a spray
tan. Thoroughly
exfoliate before
your tan is to be
applied. This is to
remove dead skin and
provide a smooth,
new surface for your
tan. Exfoliating
helps to promote an
even coverage and
lengthens the
duration of the
tan. Make sure you
pay particular
attention to elbows,
ankles, and knees.
- Shave or wax (to
allow pores time to
close) the night
before your
application.
- Remove make-up,
moisturizer,
perfume, and
deodorant before
your application as
these can act as a
barrier.
- Do not use
highly moisturized
soap.
- Do not have a
spray tan if you are
pregnant or breast
feeding (as a
precaution).
- It is
recommended that you
wear dark loose
fitting clothing.
- Solution washes
out of most clothing
very easily but may
stain nylon and
lycra materials
therefore dark
colored underwear is
recommended.
- Avoid having
hand contact with
skin as color
develops, to prevent
color from
developing on palms
or fingers.

|
- Leave your tan
for at least 8 hours
and overnight if
possible, before
showering or taking
a bath. This allows
your tan to develop.
- Avoid wearing
socks or shoes after
your tanning session
as sweating can
inhibit
the development of
your tan. Sandals
are a good choice.
- Avoid applying
moisturizers or
deodorants until
after your first
shower or bath.
- Avoid wearing
tight clothing for
at least 5 hours, as
these will cause the
tan to rub off
during the
developing stage.
- All swimming,
showering and
vigorous exercise
must be avoided for
at least 7 hours as
this can inhibit the
development of your
tan.
- Do not shave
until 12 hours after
your treatment.
- Do not sit on
light colored
fabrics until you
have showered or
have taken a bath.
|
| |
| Remember - When you take a
shower or a bath you will see the
color guide wash off that was used
when the tan was applied. Pat
dry, do not rub your skin, and you
will be left with a gorgeous tan. |

It is recommended
you follow these general
guidelines to maintain
your tan:
- Moisturize daily to extend
the tan (use oil-free
moisturizer). Tan extender is
recommended after 3 days of
having your tan.
- Avoid long hot baths and
showers as this speeds up
exfoliation, which will fade the
tan.
- Avoid using soaps, shower
gels or bubbles baths that
contain parabens or sodium
lauryl sulphates, as these will
fade your tan more quickly.
- Pat your skin dry after a
bath or shower.
- Avoid swimming pools or salt
water, as these can reduce your
tan.
- Use touch up spray (ask your
technician) for your hands and
feet since these areas fade
quicker than the rest of your
body.
- Remember that the tan does
not have any SPF factor, so wear
sun protection as usual.
