post tan

IMPORTANT - Use only spray tan friendly products! Paraben-free soaps, hair products, lotions, deodarants, etc. If it doesn't say it on the bottle, it most likely isn't paraben-free. Avoid oils unless made for spray tans. Ask us about or sunless retail products that can extend the life of your tan at home

ACTIVITY CHECK - To preserve your tan avoid shaving, waxing, swimming, massages, hot tubs, saunas, baths, hot showers and excessive sweating

BEFORE RINSING - Avoid Moisture until rinse time (sweating, getting wet, hair appts, dishes, laundry, pet kisses)

STAY HYDRATED - Moisturize with lotion twice a day or more! Especially after showering. This is KEY to keep tan hydrated. Drinking tons of H2O helps the skin stay hydrated too!

Wait 24 hours to use soaps, workout, etc. for full color development

NO TOUCHING - Avoid touching the skin & any skin on skin contact

FUTURE SHOWERS - Avoid using loofahs or wash clothes during showers & just use hands with soap in areas where needed (underarms & private areas) to extend the life of the tan.

​INITIAL RINSE - Rinse at designated rinse time in cool to lukewarm water starting from feet & work water up the body to avoid streaking. No soap the 1st shower. Make sure water runs clear. Pat dry
