THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP AFTER HAVING A SPRAY TAN IS THE SHOWER PROCESS
Before your tan and after Wear dark loose clothing. Tight clothing or underwear may cause marks. Wear loose-fitting shoes too.
After an hour (or longer – if you choose max 4 hours or whatever you have discussed with the therapist), shower for 30 to 45 seconds until the bronzer washes off with no soap, with lukewarm water. Do not use any shampoo soap or anything just plain water.
Pat your skin dry with a towel. Do not rub or scrub your skin.
After the first wash firstly it will feel like the tan has come off don't worry it develops over the next 12 to 24 hours, for the next 12 to 24 hours do not use any moisturisers, or deodorants until you have your second shower.
After your second shower Moisturize every day after having a spray tan to keep your skin hydrated, if you want your tan to last longer you will need to use a moisturizer for tanning. Ask us about it. You can also use a TAN toner for your body washing as a replacement for your regular soap or body wash if you want your tan to look perfect even and last even longer.
What happens on First Wash
The brown bronzers will wash away, while the fast tan actives continue to work and deepen. DO NOT USE HOT WATER use less than warm water.
Anything higher than warm water stops the development of tan activities during the development time. This is a common mistake people make, especially in the colder months. Once you washed off your bronzer you can wear your favorite clothes, go out of the house and definitely not stain the bedsheets. Your tan will develop into a natural tan without the hassle of fake tan staining and smell. You can shower with soap 12 to 24 hours after your first wash-off.
AFTER THE TAN HAS LOST THE GLOW
After day 5, exfoliate with a soft body polish daily to help your skin absorb even more moisturizer and keep it looking and feeling gorgeous. This also helps the tan fade naturally, rather than in patches.
