FAQ
-
How should I prepare for a tan?
Make sure to shave 24 hours before your tan. Exfoliate and apply lotion focusing on any problem dry areas, elbows, knees, and ankles.
At least 4-6 hours prior to your tan avoid using lotion, moisturizers, and deodorant, perfume, or any type of Dove soap. These products can alter the development of your tan. Your skin should be CLEAN & DRY at the time of your appointment.
-
My tan is turning super dark, is that normal?
The spray tan darkens your skin right away due to the bronzers, making it easy to apply. When you wash off the bronzers, the real tan develops as DHA reacts with your skin. The tan deepens over the next several hours for a natural, lasting result.
-
How can I make my tan last?
After letting your tan develop for 3-8+ hours, shower quickly with lukewarm water to wash off the bronzers. Avoid hot water, as it can stop the tan from developing.
For the first wash, don't use soaps, scrubs, or loofahs. Pat your skin dry, don’t rub, and moisturize DAILY to keep your tan looking fresh. After, you may use a gentle cleanser or soap on important parts (armpits, private areas).
After day 5, exfoliate with a soft body polish daily to help your skin absorb moisturizer and ensure a natural fade.
-
When should I schedule my tan?
For the best results, it's recommended to get a spray tan 1 to 2 days before your event/special day. This gives the tan enough time to fully develop and settle, ensuring a more natural look.
-
What should I wear for my appointment?
Make sure to wear dark loose clothing, tight clothing or underwear may cause marks.
-
Is it pregnancy safe?
Spray tans contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which is generally considered safe for external use during pregnancy because it doesn’t get absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts. But, it's ALWAYS a good idea to check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
