THE SPRAY TAN BIBLE
LISTEN. WE DON'T GATE KEEP OVER HERE, SO BELIEVE US WHEN WE SAY... A FLAWLESS SPRAY TAN OUTCOME IS:
50% OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE ARTIST, AND 50% YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE CLIENT
​
THIS MEANS.. FOLLOW YOUR PREPARATION & AFTERCARE GUIDELINES TO A T.
PROPER PREP AND USING QUALITY SPRAY TAN SAFE PRODUCTS GO HAND-IN-HAND TO HELP ENSURE A FLAWLESS SPRAY TAN RESULT FOR WEEKS TO COME.
FIRST & FOREMOST...
A SUNBURN IS A SPRAY TAN'S WORST ENEMY (RIGHT BEHIND DOVE SOAP) DIHYDROXYACETONE (DHA) IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT IN SPRAY TAN SOLUTION AND IS WHAT CREATES THE LONG LASTING 'TAN' EFFECT.
DHA IS NATURALLY DRYING. SO, IT WILL TRIGGER YOUR CURRENTLY SUNBURNED SKIN (OR RECENTLY SUNBURNED SKIN WITHIN THE LAST 2-4 WEEKS) TO PEEL, MAKING THINGS LOOK REALLY SCARY.
​
PLEASE ALLOW YOUR SKIN 2-4 WEEKS TO HEAL PROPERLY BEFORE SPRAY TANNING ON TOP. TRUST US ON THIS ONE.
​
HYDRATE. MOISTURIZE. ALOE. REPEAT.
PRODUCTS MATTER.
SPRAY TANS ARE VERY INGREDIENT PICKY. USING ANY BODY PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN:
PARABENS, SULFATES, PHTHALATES, MINERAL OILS, ALCOHOLS, OR HEAVY ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE.
​
WILL CAUSE YOUR TAN TO FADE PATCHY AND PREMATURELY.
​
COMMON PRODUCTS TO AVOID:
DOVE. OIL OF OLAY. IRISH SPRING. DIAL. BATH & BODY WORKS. METHOD. VICTORIA'S SECRET. ETC.
THIS IS NOT AN ALL INCLUSIVE LIST.
​
COMMON DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS THAT ARE OKAY:
HEMPZ. RAW SUGAR. NATIVE. CETAPHIL. SHEA MOISTURE. ALAFFIA. BURTS BEES.
​
USING DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS WILL KEEP YOUR TAN GENERALLY SAFE, BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT PRODUCTS FORMULATED SPECIFICALLY FOR SPRAY TANS ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU THE BEST LOOKING TAN THAT WILL LAST THE LONGEST AMOUNT OF TIME.
​
*ALL FIRST TIME CLIENTS WILL RECEIVE 20% OFF ANY PRODUCT PURCHASED DURING THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT.*
DO NOT SHOWER WITHIN 4 HOURS OF YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME.
THIS WILL DRAMATICALLY AFFECT THE FINAL OUTCOME OF YOUR TAN DUE TO PH IMBALANCES AND POTENTIALLY PRODUCT RESIDUE ON YOUR SKIN THAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE OTHERWISE.
SPRAY TAN PREPARATION
DISCONTINUE THE USE OF ANY RETINOL PRODUCTS 3-4 DAYS BEFORE APPOINTMENT.
24-48 HOURS BEFORE
-
SHAVE OR WAX ANY UNWANTED BODY HAIR.
-
EXFOLIATE WITH A COARSE MITT. KESSA MITTS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. KITSCH BRAND FROM TARGET/ ULTA WORKS GREAT. NO RAGS/LOOFAHS AND ABSOLUTELY NO TREE HUT SCRUBS. THESE WILL NOT WORK.
-
COMPLETE MANICURES AND PEDICURES.
-
DISCONTINUE USE OF ANY BAR AND CREAM BASED SOAPS.
-
COMPLETE ANY SPA, FACIAL, AND MASSAGE TREATMENTS.
-
MAKE SURE YOUR SPRAY TAN IS YOUR ABSOLUTE LAST BEAUTY TREATMENT.​
​
*(PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NOT WANT TO USE ANY SOAP ON YOUR BODY -- INCLUDING SOAP FROM WASHING HAIR -- FOR 24 HOURS FOLLOWING YOUR APPOINTMENT TO ENSURE YOUR TAN CAN DEVELOP FULLY WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. PLEASE PLAN YOUR HAIR WASHING ROUTINE ACCORDINGLY.)*​
​
DAY OF APPOINTMENT
-
AVOID WEARING ANY MAKEUP, OILS, AND PERFUMES.
-
DO NOT WEAR DEODORANT. DEODORANTS CAN CAUSE SPRAY TANNED ARMPITS TO APPEAR GREEN, OR TURN OUT NON-COLORED OR TOO DARK.

-
WEAR LOOSE, FULL-COVERAGE CLOTHING (TOPS AND BOTTOMS) ABSOLUTELY NO LEGGINGS, JEANS, OR BRAS WORN BEFORE RINSING. TIGHT CLOTHING WILL CAUSE YOUR TAN TO DEVELOP IMPROPERLY LEAVING LINES FROM THE RUB-OFF OF SOLUTION.
-
FOR SHOES: OPEN TOED SANDALS, SLIDES, OR SLIPPERS ARE BEST. NO TENNIS SHOES OR TIGHT FITTING SHOES PLEASE.
​
*IF YOU HAVE AN EVENING APPOINTMENT AND SKIPPING DEODORANT, MAKEUP OR BODY PRODUCTS IS NOT POSSIBLE, PLEASE SHOWER OFF AND REMOVE THESE PRODUCTS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT LEAVING A 4+ HOUR GAP BETWEEN YOUR SHOWER AND YOUR APPOINTMENT START TIME. THIS IS CRUCIAL.*
