WHEN TO RINSE YOUR OVERNIGHT TAN
Wait at least 8 hours before rinsing. While you can sleep in your tan, be cautious about touching your body and excessive sweating during this time.
*Please note it takes 24 hours for your tan to fully develop.
WHEN TO RINSE YOUR RAPID TAN
Based on your natural skin tone and your desired depth, I will discuss your rinse time with you before you leave your appointment. This ranges from approx. 2 hours – 8 hours. It is very important to follow your recommended rinse time to achieve your desired results!
*Please note it takes 24 hours for your tan to fully develop. After first rinse, you may look like you never got a spray tan. Don’t panic, trust the process!
DURING DEVELOPMENT
Avoid getting wet, getting rained on, spilling liquids, sweating, wearing tight clothing, touching your body, applying lotion, perfume, deodorant, or makeup. Opt for loose, baggy clothing during the process.
DURING FIRST RINSE
Use only warm (not hot) water and your hands to gently rub and rinse off the bronzer entirely from your body. Avoid shaving, using body wash, and washing your hair until your second rinse. Pat yourself dry with a towel. Best to not use lotion after first shower unless discussed.
PRODUCTS TO USE
Tan-Friendly products that are paraben, sulfate and mineral oil free. I carry a Shea Butter lotion available for purchase, ask me about it if you are interested! Also see my recommended lotion list in the FAQ section of my site.
DO DAILY
Apply moisturizer to your skin every morning and night, especially after showers. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
WHAT TO AVOID
First 24 hours: working out, excess sweating, tight clothing, socks, closed toed shoes, bras.
First 2-3 days: retinol products.
Duration of tan: excess sweating, chlorine, salt water, hot tubs, saunas and sand.
