-EXFOLIATE! You will see the best results if you exfoliate the night before your spray tan as this will leave a soft, even base.
-Avoid applying lotion, deodorant, perfume, or oils prior to your session.
-Please shower, shave/wax, and get mani/pedis beforehand, if at all. (Note: This does not affect me or your tan, this is just the most practical order to schedule your appointments on if you have an event coming up.)
-Wear dark, loose fitting clothing to your appointment. Tight clothing is not recommended as it may cause creasing. Light clothing does not affect your tan but may get stained!!
-During the session, what you wear is completely up to you. You may wear an old bra and underwear, a swimsuit, shorts, or nothing at all. I've seen everything and I remember nothing. I just want you comfortable!
-Disposable garments will be available if needed.
It depends on the solution...
-With a Signature Tan, you will want to wait 8-12 hours. I always say keep it on for as long as you can! You'll get the best penetration this way, but it will never go too dark.
-With an Express Tan, you will wait 2-4 hours. This is ideal for anyone on the go. The results will intensify over the span of time, so you will not want to wait more than 4 hours with these, unless I have specifically told you otherwise. Anywhere in this window will provide you with beautiful results, just the same as the standard.
-REGARDLESS, you will use lukewarm water and a gentle soap. No washcloth, mitt, or exfoliating scrub at first. You may use a towel to dry off, but only patting motions, no rubbing please! After your initial wash, you can resume your regular routine, understanding, however, that exfoliation will cause the tan to fade.
-FYI, do not be alarmed if you seem super dark when you wake up and/or see lots of color going down the drain during your rinse. This is completely normal and it is the after-shower-results we want to pay attention to. I promise your tan is still there!
You heard me! For the duration of your tans developing time, you are permitted to sit down and do nothing. No working out, sweating, swimming, doing the dishes, cleaning, nothing!! We want to do our bests do stay dry and friction free to avoid streaks or uneven patches. Please let your tan fully absorb and develop and then you can resume all activities.
Results will last you around 2 weeks with proper home care. Be sure to avoid exfoliation and moisturize well daily and you will be thrilled with your results. When the tan does start to fade, try our tan extender lotion to stretch a few more days and ensure your color dissipates beautifully!
Message me! I'm happy to offer suggestions suited to you. It's most important to have a great exfoliant beforehand and a great moisturizer afterwards. This will keep that tanned layer of skin visible for as long as possible, giving you the most bang for your buck!
