TO THE APPOINTMNET
-Wear dark and loose fitting clothing, preferably a long sleeve shirt/crewneck, and loose pants. (Avoid zippers, snaps and buttons, jeans, stiff fabrics and closed toed shoes).
THE ACTUAL SPRAY TANNING TAKES 8-10 MINUTES. PLEASE ALLOW EXTRA TIME FOR PAPERWORK AND DISCUSSION OVER AFTERCARE.
-You may feel slightly stick for about an hour until completely dry.
-While your spray tan is developing avoid sweating, getting wet, and touching your skin until after your first rinse.
-Your first rinse after your spray tan session should be a WATER RINSE ONLY. Rinse until the water runs clear to avoid streaking, the streaks can stain. HOLD THE SOAP! WAIT UNTIL YOUR SECOND SHOWER BEFORE USING SOAP.
-If getting a rapid tan solution, your first rinse will look as if your tan has completely rinsed off. Please give it time to develop, as it can take anywhere from 8-24 hours to FULLY develop. DO NOT MOISTURIZE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING.
-If opting for a solution you'll be sleeping in, please plan to sleep in your loose, oversized clothing until the morning. This will eliminate any hand marks on your body during sleep. DO NOT SLEEP NUDE! MOISTURIZE AFTER YOUR RINSE.
-We recommend showering only for the duration of your tan. NO BATHS! Bathing can soak off your tan.
-If you plan to get in any water (pool, hot tub, ocean, etc.) please apply a water resistant sunscreen. Reapply as needed to help your tan last longer.
KEEP IN MIND THAT ANY WATER EXPOSURE, ESPECIALLY SOAKING, CAN ACCELERATE YOUR TAN FADING.
YOU MUST MOISTURIZE AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WITH LOTION OR OIL THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN MINERAL OIL.
NO SWIMMING OR EXERCISING FOR 24 HOURS AFTER YOUR FIRST RINSE.
AVOID ANY TYPE OF EXFOLIATION UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO REMOVE YOUR SPRAY TAN
