Here is some information for you. Please shoot me any additional questions you have regarding spray tans! Any thing goes...
Before the Tan...
- Thoroughly exfoliate all areas of your body to remove the dead layer of skin. With a good exfoliation, you will ensure that your tan last as long as possible.
- We also recommend that you shave the day before your tan.
- The day of your tan do not to apply any lotion, oils or perfumes, as they will reduce your skin’s ability to absorb the tanning solution. Also, make sure that all makeup is removed before your tanning session.
- You'll need to remove any jewelry before you tan.
- It's important to bring loose fitting clothes and shoes to wear after you tan. Tight clothes have a tendency to rub the solution off of your skin and onto your clothes leaving a spotty tan.
During the Tan...
- What you wear to get spray tanned will depend on if you want tan lines or not. It will also depend on your comfort level as well. You can wear an old bra and panties or a bathing suit. Please be aware that some cosmetic bronzer will rub off on what you decide to wear. The tanning solution washes out of most fabrics; however, it’s not recommended to wear silk or satin.
- Wear loose fitting clothes for at least six hours.
- Do not shower, work out, apply oils or lotions, or do any activity that would cause you to sweat for the same period of time. This allows the solution adequate time to interact with the amino acids in the top layers of your skin.
- When shaving, be sure to use a clean, sharp razor. A dull razor scrapes off more skin and tan.
- Long, hot baths, hot tubs, chlorine, excessive sweating and salt water can affect the tan on some people.
- Pat dry after a shower or bath -- do not rub.
- Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Hydrated skin will extend the life of your sunless tan.
- A Tan Extender lotion will increase your tan longevity by 30%+ and give your skin the moisture it needs to prevent dry skin sometimes associated with tanning.
