The Day of Your Spray Tan
Take a shower as normal and rinse off ALL of the shampoo and soap; also don’t apply any deodorant, moisturizer, lotion, cream, or makeup before your spray tan.
Any of these products will block the spray tan from setting to its fullest and deodorants can turn the bronzer in the spray tan green so unless you want Incredible Hulk armpits.If you have an appointment later in the day then be sure to rinse off your deodorant or moisturizers in the shower or with a wet towel before your appointment.
Exfoliation is Key
By exfoliating before a spray tan, you are turning your skin into a clean canvas for your spray tan. A spray tan sets on the topmost layer of your skin; so if the topmost layer of your skin is not at its cleanest, your spray tan wont be even,
What to Wear to Your Appointment
We do suggest that you wear dark, loose clothing so that your clothes don’t rub against the spray tan while it is setting.
Now that you have had your appointment, and you love your spray tan, you should learn how to keep it:
For your first shower: rinse only!
You should always only wash off with water during your first shower. After that though, body cleansers designed specifically for spray tans should be used to increase the longevity of your tan. Alcohols and oils in products could produce a crackling effect on your fade and certain soaps dry out your skin,
Moisturize
A spray tan’s worst enemy is dry skin; a spray tan’s best friend forever is a moisturizer. By using moisturizers on a daily basis (and after every shower!), your skin will stay soft and most importantly tanned for days longer!
