Spray Tan Do's & Don'ts

BEFORE:
*Exfoliate and shave 48 hours in advance. (Use a plain razor, no moisturizing strips as it will create a barrier)​.
*Paint fingernails and toenails (if wanted).
*DO NOT moisturize or use skin oils 24 hours before your spray as this will block your tan.
*Remove make-up, deodorant, lotion, and perfumes as they act as a barrier.

AFTER:
*DO NOT get wet or sweat for AT LEAST 6-8 hours.
*If you want a darker tan, wait longer before you shower. Spray tan will continue processing for up to 24 hours if you let it.
*Be careful of the weather. Rain or snow will negatively affect your spray tan.
*Wear dark loose-fitting clothing after your tan. This allows the skin to breath and dry. If your spray tan transfers to your clothes, it will usually wash out. Avoid wearing silk.
*Pat dry with towel, don't rub.
