About Airbrush Tanning

What should I do to prepare for an airbrush tanning session? 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. To get the maximum benefits of your spray tan, you will need to exfoliate your skin. Before your scheduled appointment, you can call our office for a recommended scrub or stop by our office and pick some up (it is Free) While you are in the shower, step away from the water and scrub the exfoliator over your entire body and then rinse with water. You do not need to scrub hard! We just want to remove all of the dead skin so your spray tan is going into a fresh, clean layer of skin. The shower/exfoliator needs to be done as closely to your appointment as possible since you want your skin COMPLETELY clean. 

2. DO NOT PUT ON ANY LOTION, PERFUME, MAKE-UP, DEODORANT, ETC before your spray tan. Anything on your skin will keep it from absorbing evenly. 

3. Be sure to wear loose fitting clothes, so as not to rub off freshly sprayed solution. The less rubbing on the spray tan the better it will set in and last. The looser the clothes, the better. 

4. You can do the spray tan any way you feel comfortable whether be in a swimsuit, bra and panties, in the nude, etc. If you do it without your bra/panties, it is best to not put them back on after the spray tan so that the solution can set in good without getting rubbed on. 

5. After your session, you will need to wait a MINIMUM of 24 hours before taking a shower. (For example: If you are getting sprayed for an event on Saturday, it is best to do your spray tan on Thursday or Friday evening)  During the time after your spray tan, you need to stay COMPLETELY dry. You cannot get wet, sweat, or apply anything to your skin (this includes make-up, perfume, deodorant, etc) until you have taken a shower and rinsed off the excess solution. ***** WE RECOMMEND DOING YOUR SPRAY TAN IN THE EVENING, LETTING IT SET IN OVER NIGHT AND TAKING A SHOWER THE NEXT MORNING.****** 

6. To prolong the life of your spray tan, it is best not to go swimming as the chlorine or salt water can strip the color. (We also have lotions that help to increase the life of your spray tan.) 

7. You will see a little bit of color wash off in your first shower...this is normal. It is only the excess solution coming off, not your tan. To increase the life of your spray tan, it is recommended to keep your skin moisturized with a good lotion.
