BEFORE THE SESSION
To ensure the best results from your spray tan, it’s important to properly prepare you skin beforehand. Here are some tips on how to prepare for a spray tan:
-
Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.
-
Shave, wax, and exfoliate* the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before the application otherwise it may leave dark spots.
-
Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream, or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solutions from developing correctly.
-
Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume, or deodorant the day of the appointment.
-
Moisturize the skin days prior the session (not the day of the appointment).
-
The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.
-
We recommend you to wear loose fitting and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.
*Exfoliation is the MOST important step to achieve an optimal result that will last up to 10 days. We suggest using a good quality scrub with an exfoliating mitt to eliminate dead skin cells and impurities. Pay attention to rough areas like the feet, ankles, elbows, armpits, knuckles, collarbones, etc.
​
If the exfoliation hasn't been done properly, the result cold be uneven and fade quickly.
