Pre & Post Care *
Prep
Exfoliate consistently. Fresh skin cells create a smooth base for your spray to stick to. The fresher your skin, the longer your spray will last. Give some extra love to rough areas like feet, elbows, knees, etc.
Shave/Wax at least 24 hours prior to your spray.
Do NOT use lotion, oils, deodorant, sunscreen, or makeup on the day of your spray as they will leave a film your spray can’t stick to.
Moisturize on the days leading up to your spray but not the day of.
Wear loose, dark clothing to avoid rubbing off your spray.
Avoid showering within 3 hours of your appointment. The water will alter your skin’s pH and alter your spray results.
Post
Avoid sweating or coming in contact with liquids prior to your rinse time.
Never shower before your rinse time. You will wash away the entirety of your color. Trust the process.
Rinse with lukewarm water and avoid soap during your first rinse.
Pat dry (don’t rub)
Moisturize daily but avoid products containing mineral oils, petroleum, alcohol, and sulfates. (Avoid Dove Products!)
Avoid exfoliating until you’re ready to remove your tan.
Be aware that chlorine breaks down your spray at a quicker rate than normal but don’t avoid having fun.
