Maximising Your Results

• Avoid Water. After your spray tan, do not get your skin wet (no showering, swimming, or sweating). The tanning solution needs time to develop. I'll talk you through your specific drying time based on the products we choose for your tan. 

• After the recommended periods rinse your body with lukewarm water. When you shower for the first time after your spray tan, use lukewarm water only (no soap!) and avoid scrubbing. Pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it to avoid disrupting the tan.

• Avoid Exfoliating. Exfoliation removes the tanning solution from your skin, so wait at least 3-5 days before exfoliating. If you wish to prolong your tan, gently exfoliate 7-10 days after the application.

• Moisturise Regularly. To maintain your tan, use a lightweight moisturiser daily. However, do not use moisturisers for the first 12 hours to make sure tan develops properly. When you do, look for a tan-extending lotion that’s designed to hydrate and prolong your tan without stripping it. I can recommend an appropriate moisturiser and tan extender - see below.

• Keep Hydrated. Drink plenty of water to ensure the skin stays nourished.

• Avoid Hot Showers, Saunas, or Sweating. Hot water and sweat can cause your tan to fade more quickly. Try to avoid excessive heat and intense sweating for at least 48 hours after your tan.

• Wear Loose Clothing for the First Few Hours. After your tan, avoid tight clothing that may rub against your skin and cause uneven areas. Opt for loose, dark clothing until the tan has fully dried.

Any tan product that transfers to clothing or bed sheets following your tanning can be washed out on a regular laundry cycle. Avoid light, delicate white fabrics coming in contact with your fresh tan, until it has settled.
