🔅 Schedule manicures, pedicures, facials, waxing and hair appointments at least 1 day before your appointment. 🔅 Shower, shave and EXFOLIATE (really, really well) at least 3 hours prior to your session. MUST has excellent pre-spray tan products. Stop by before your appointment to purchase the optimal scrub or mit. 🔅 Do not use lotions, depilatories, oil-based exfoliating scrubs, moisturizing body washes, or shave creams the day of your session. 🔅 Do not wear makeup, perfume or deodorant during the spray tan. We can help remove makeup and deodorant if necessary at the time of your appointment. 🔅 Wear dark loose fitting clothing or bring some to your appointment to wear home. The solution will wash out of most fabrics but dark cotton clothing is recommended. 🔅 Plan for the weather. Bring an umbrella and rain boots if there is chance of rain. Remember you can't get wet for 6-8 hours!
Post-Spray Tan Care
🔅 Avoid wearing a bra, socks or other restrictive clothing for at least 2 hours after your session. 🔅 It is VERY IMPORTANT that you remain completely dry for 6-8 hours. Refrain from washing hands during this time. 🔅 Avoid any activity that will make you sweat or creates friction, like exercise or a hot car. 🔅 After showering, pat body dry. Do not rub vigorously. 🔅 Moisturize daily with a skin moisturizer that DOES NOT contain mineral oil or petrolatum (Vaseline). 🔅 Use a sunscreen that DOES NOT contain alcohol or mineral oil. Read the ingredients list. 'Sports' or 'dry mist' types are best.
Helpful Info
🔅 Spray tanning does not protect you from the sun, it is not a "base". 🔅 Spray tanning does not prevent you from naturally tanning while in the sun. 🔅 Spray tanning is a chemical reaction at the cellular level, not a stain. 🔅 It takes approximately 16-24 hours for the entire chemical reaction to take place. 🔅 The color you see immediately after getting a spray tan is only the cosmetic bronzer, the reaction's color will start to be noticeable in about 2 hours after your appointment. 🔅 As the cells in the top layer of your skin exfoliate, your tan will fade.
