Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions we get from our clients
- Exfoliate / Shave the night before your appointment. This gives your pores time to close to avoid discoloration. This also helps make sure your sunless tan is going on a fresh canvas of skin.
- Shower at least 4 hours before your appointment to give your pores time to close to avoid discoloration. Stay away from body lotions or oils. This will make the sunless tanning solution not want to hold.
- Wax at least 24 hours before your appointment. Wax can stay on the skin and make it difficult for the sunless tanning solution to hold.
Dress in loose fitting clothing. Avoiding anything with tight elastic or straps will ensure your tan develops flawlessly.
You are welcome to wear as much or little as you are comfortable with. We have disposable items as well for your convenience.
Avoid contact with water and sweating 6-8 hours after appointment.
First Rinse: Your artist will let you know when to rinse off the sunless tanning solution. Use warm water only. No soaps, loofas ,lotions at this time. Pat dry. During this rinse the cosmetic bronzers will be washed away. Your tan will be developing over the next 24 hours.
Second Rinse: 24 hours after your initial spray tan you can shower in warm water and use a DHA safe soap. Pat dry. Apply DHA safe lotion.
A spray tan tends to last anywhere 7-10 days, depending on your aftercare and frequency of exfoliating.
Avoid mineral oils. This will breakdown the sunless solution faster.
Shower in warm water and pat to dry off.
A PH balanced body wash is best and skin friendly.
When swimming, dry off when you get out. Chlorine (bleaching agent) or salt water drying on the skin will fade your sunless tan faster.
Moisturize daily and stay hydrated. Skin that is not properly hydrated will cause the sunless tanning solution to look patchy and crack.
Yes, my friend! Even on a cloudy day always dress for success with SPF. Sunless tanning solutions do NOT offer any UV protection. Say it with me, “Yes to SPF“.
