Laser Spraytans System

PRE AND POST SPRAY TAN CARE INSTRUCTIONS

24 Hours Prior to your Spray Tan (Pre Tan Care):

Shave or use depilatory cream to remove unwanted body hair.

Exfoliate entire body with mild, oil free exfoliant.

Pack your spray tanning bag:  hair tie, Chapstick, black swimsuit or underwear (cotton), dark loose fitting clothing (cotton), black flip flops, an umbrella (in case of bad weather), and a large black towel to place over your car seat to avoid staining.

8 Hours Prior to your Spray Tan (Pre Tan Care):

Shower, but do not apply body oils or moisturizer to skin (unless you have very dry skin) as this can create a barrier on your skin.

If at all possible, wear nail polish on your fingernails and toenails.  It will keep your nails from turning brown.

Wear clothing to and from your spray tanning appointment that are dark in color, preferably black and loose fitting (cotton clothing) to avoid excess contact or staining to your clothing after your spray tan.

Do not wear tight fitting jeans, pants, or shorts, or light synthetic fabrics to your appointment.  Try a loose black dress.

It is advisable to wear dark flip flops to and from your spray tan appointment.

6-8 Hours after your Spray Tan (Post Tan Care):

Avoid any activity that would cause sweating; exercise, cleaning, or showering, as your spray tan is developing during these hours.  Contact with water or sweat could result in lines or uneven tanning.

If you choose to sleep in your spray tan so that it darkens overnight, please cover your bed with dark sheets and pillow cases so that any bronzer does not stain your regular sheets.

8 Hours after your Spray Tan (Post Tan Care): 

Shower normally.  You will see some color wash away from your skin.  This is completely normal, and was only the color guard (instant tan that you could see after your spray tan).  The color guard is used to give immediate tan results, but also so that the technician may see where they are applying solution.  Do not be concerned by this, as your developed tan is still there.

Wash with a mild, moisturizing shower gel and gentle bath poof.

While you are drying, remember to pat, not rub your skin.

Apply a moisturizer with sunscreen in the morning, and a tan extending lotiion at night (please ask your tanning technician for more information).

The Life of your Spray Tan (Post Tan Care):

The life of your spray tan depends on the care you take of your skin.  Moisturize twice a day.  Avoid using Bar Soaps.  Hair Removal Creams, Shaving,  Anti Aging or Anti Acne products and Band Aids, Face Masks, or Biore Pore Strips reduce the life of your tan. 

Avoid chlorine and excessive sweating if at all possible.  Also, If you notice uneven or premature fading of your spray tan, you can always correct this by touching up your spray tan with a "Tan in a Can" spray tanning product.  Please ask your tanning technician for more information.
