Spray Tan Care

 
 

Spray tans are a great way to achieve a sun-kissed glow without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays. To make the most of your spray tan, it's important to take care of your skin both before and after your tanning session. Here are some tips for before and after care for spray tans:

Before care for spray tans:

  1. Exfoliate: Exfoliating your skin before your spray tan appointment will help to remove any dead skin cells, making the spray tan last longer and look more even.

  2. Avoid using lotions or oils: Applying lotions or oils to your skin before your spray tan can create a barrier, preventing the spray tan solution from properly absorbing into your skin.

  3. Shave or wax: Make sure to shave or wax at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment, as doing it too close to your appointment can cause irritation and uneven tanning.

After care for spray tans:

  1. Wait before showering: Wait at least 8 hours (normal tan) & 1-3 hours (express tan) before showering after your spray tan appointment. This will give the solution enough time to fully develop and adhere to your skin.

  2. Avoid sweating: Avoid sweating excessively for at least 24 hours after your spray tan appointment, as sweat can cause the solution to streak or run.

  3. Moisturize: Keep your skin moisturized after your spray tan appointment to help prolong the life of your tan. However, avoid using oil-based moisturizers as they can cause the tan to fade faster.

  4. Don't exfoliate: Avoid exfoliating your skin for at least a week after your spray tan appointment, as this can cause your tan to fade unevenly.

By following these tips for before and after care for spray tans, you can help ensure that your tan looks even and lasts as long as possible.
