Before you get your spray tan, you should:

• Wax 24 hours (or more) before your appointment. 

• Shower, shave, and exfoliate at least 4 hours before your appointment. 

• Come to your appointment with clean skin. No lotions or other beauty products.

​

Post Care Instructions 

The Day of Your Spray Tan​

• Wear loose fitting clothing. (No denim, no bras, and no yoga pants.) Ideally, wear a long t-shirt dress.

• Do NOT go more than than 24 hours after your appointment to shower.

• Plan for no hard activity, sweating or activity following your spray tan.

​

Your First Shower After Your Spray Tan

• Be gentle. Use gently warm water and the palms of your hands to rinse surface bronzer off your skin. Avoid harsh scrubbing, hot water, generic bar soap (recommended bar to use Dove soap). You will see some bronzer wash away – this is normal!

• Do not use any oil based shower gel or body oil.

• Pat yourself dry, do not rub your skin.

• Moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer.

​

The Week Ahead

• To preserve your tan, avoid swimming, long showers, baths, steam rooms, and saunas.

• Avoid face and body cleansers and treatments that are exfoliating in nature such as Retin A, Salicylic Acid, Glycol Acid and others.

• Avoid harsh chemicals such as chlorine, massages, fashion tape, bandages, and anything else that may strip your tan.

• Moisturize in the AM and PM with an oil-free moisturizer.

• Don’t exfoliate until you are ready to say Adios! to your Glow!
