PRE-CARE

Because sunless tanning only affects the topmost layer of the skin, it is best if the skin is freshly exfoliated and moisturized prior to your sunless session. Applying sunless solution to skin that is dry or flaky can cause results to be less natural, uneven fading, shorten the life of the sunless tan, and the possibility of experiencing "spotty" looking results after a day or two. The following preparations are strongly recommended to ensure flawless results from your Glowing Bronze airbrush tanning session:

To ensure a flawless spray tan, proper preparation is key. Follow these steps:

3. Shave or Wax Ahead of Time
Complete any hair removal (shaving or waxing) at least 24 hours before your session to avoid irritation.

4. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing
Choose loose-fitting, dark clothing and undergarments (preferably long sleeves and pants) for your appointment to avoid smudging the tan.

5. Stay Makeup-Free
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for the best results.

1. Exfoliate Your Skin
Gently exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment using a non-oily scrub or mitt. Focus on areas like elbows, knees, and ankles where skin tends to be drier. Avoid soaps with heavy moisturizers like Dove and Oil of Olay. These brands can mess with the pH balance in your skin.

2. Avoid Lotions and Oils
On the day of your appointment, skip moisturizers, oils, deodorants, and perfumes. These products can create a barrier and affect the absorption of the tanning solution.

OTHER PROCEDURES TO BE AWARE OF

Waxing and Other Hair Removal - needs to be done BEFORE your sunless session; waxing needs to be done AT LEAST 1-2 days before your appt.

Manicures/Pedicures - needs to be done 12-24 hours BEFORE or wait at least 24 hours AFTER your session before getting one.

Hair Cuts and Colors - need to be done at least 24 hours BEFORE your session.

*NOTE: Please follow these recommended guidelines to ensure your sunless tan will not get damaged or discolored

Post-CARE

Follow these tips:

Wait Before Showering
Let your tan develop for at least 8-10 hours before showering. Avoid sweating, swimming, or getting your skin wet during this time to ensure optimal color development.

Gentle First Shower
When it's time to rinse off, stick to lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing. Your first shower should be a simple rinse with minimal or no soap. Don’t worry if you see some color washing away—that’s just the surface bronzer. Gently pat your skin dry with a towel.

Hydrate Your Skin
Daily moisturizing is key to maintaining your tan. Use a tan-friendly, alcohol- and oil-free moisturizer like Aveeno to keep your skin hydrated and your glow intact.

Skip Exfoliation
Hold off on exfoliators and harsh soaps until you're prepping for your next spray tan. Gentle skin care will help your tan last longer.

Keep It Dry
Prolong your tan by avoiding activities that can cause it to fade, like swimming, using saunas, or heavy sweating.
