DAY BEFORE Tan checklist
EXFOLIATE
The day prior to your spray tan, exfoliate using a body scrub and an exfoliating mitt. This will help remove dead skin, boosting the longevity of your tan. Do not use Dove soap, bar soaps, or cream-based body washes as they leave a film on your body and can prevent your spray tan from adhering to your skin.
SHAVE | WAX
You need to wax or shave 24-48 hours before your spray tan. Shaving is a form of exfoliation and should be done so with conditioner to ensure that no film is left on your skin. You may resume shaving 24 hours after your spray tan.
SPA TREATMENTS
Spa treatments, including manicures and pedicures should be done the day before your spray tan or 24 hours after, making sure you apply polish only. No exfoliating or soaking as this can strip your spray tan off.
MOISTURIZE
We recommend that you moisturize your skin with a spray tan safe lotion the day before your appointment. This will ensure your skin is well hydrated.
BOOKING
Book your spray tan 2 days prior to an event for best results.
AVOID
Do not schedule a sunless spray tan if you are currently sunburnt or have been within the past 2 weeks. Your skin will be peeling.
DAY OF TAN CHECKLIST
AVOID
Please avoid using oils, lotions, deodorant, or makeup the day of your appointment. These products can act as a barrier and will prevent your spray tan from developing.
If you must wear makeup or deodorant the day of, we do have wipes available for you to use.
SHOWER
DO NOT shower right before your spray tan. This can alter the pH of your skin. Please allow the proper time instructed by your spray tan professional before you shower. When showering, do not use soap. Rinse off with water and pat dry.
GARMENTS
Garments to be worn are up to your discretion. We want you to feel comfortable, whether it's in your own skin, or wearing a bikini! We do suggest wearing black undergarments as the solution can stain them. Disposable undergarments are also available and will be offered at each session.
POST TAN CLOTHING
You will want to leave wearing something loose fitting and dark in color. Although our solutions dry very quickly, there is a chance that the spray may adhere to your clothing if too tight.
We recommend that you avoid wearing a bra, socks, and closed toed shoes when possible.
HYDRATE
You will want to keep your skin hydrated by applying CeraVe's Daily Moisturizer following your post tan shower. We also recommend using our favorite BOOSTER foam by Mine Tan. This is a great source of nutrients which will extend the life of your tan. You may use as early as 3 days post tan.
You want to use a lotion that is enriched with ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
AVOID
Please avoid chlorine pools, hot tubs, salt water (for long periods of time), hot showers, exfoliating scrubs/mitts, heavy sweating, massages, & waxing as they will strip your spray tan off.
