How To Prep For A Spray Tan
A beautiful spray tan is achieved when the client and artist work together. The client will be asked to do the following.
- 24 hours before your appointment exfoliate your body and shave everywhere you would normally.
- On the day of your appointment come in with clean skin. This means no lotion, deodorant, perfumes, makeup, or at home tanner. Please do not shower RIGHT before your appointment. If you must shower RIGHT before, make sure to end you shower with cold water. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours between your shower and appointment.
- Please do NOT use Dove soap.
- Be sure to bring dark, loose-fitting clothes and flip flops for after your appointment.
- Please do not come in with a sun burn. This will peel if we spray over it.
after your appointment
After your appointment please don't sweat or get wet. That will stop the tan from developing. Once your processing time is up take a warm water rinse with NO soap. Don't get out of the shower until the water runs clear down the drain. Once out of the shower pat dry and apply your spray tan safe lotion. If you use anything that's not specifically for spray tans your tan may not have the longevity or color of a professional tan. Anything that exfoliated the skin will lift the tan faster. Stay away from these products until you are ready to take the tan off. When it's time to exfoliate the tan off soak in a tub for 15 min and then use your dermasuri mitt or wash cloth to rub the tan off.
