BEFORE SPRAY TAN

Shower, exfoliate, and shave using an exfoliating glove for sunless tanning. No pre-packaged scrubs, as most contain oils that will leave a residue on your skin and make your airbrush tan blotchy. Pay special attention to exfoliating knees, elbows, and ankles; these areas tend to have dry skin buildup. Skip the lotion after your shower.

DURING SPRAY TAN

Wear dark-colored or old undergarments to tan in. Disposable undergarments are always available if you prefer. Topless is okay, you MUST wear bottoms–use your comfort level as your guide. Wear loose-fitting clothing after your spray tan–scrubs, workout clothing, etc. No jeans or tight-fitting shirts–this will make your spray tan blotchy.

AFTER SPRAY TAN CARE

Stay dry for 8-10 hours. Anything that exfoliates your skin exfoliates your spray tan, including facial scrubs, waxing, bandages, and nail polish remover. To keep your tan beautiful for as long as possible, use a sulfate-free shower gel and fragrance-free, alcohol-free lotion. Don’t like lotion? Try a lightweight, quick-dry moisturizer.
