UV-Free Airbrush Tanning Tips

 

MAKE YOUR AIRBRUSH TAN LOOK BETTER AND LAST LONGER!

 

PREPARING FOR YOUR AIRBRUSH TAN

 

The Day Before Your Appointment

  • Exfoliate the day before you treatment to remove dry, flaky skin that causes uneven tanning.
  • We suggest a BODY SCRUB 24 hours before your tanning session
    Shave the day before your tan

 

The Day of Your Appointment

  • Your skin should be clean
  • You should remove all makeup
  • DO NOT apply lotions or perfumes prior to getting sprayed
  • Use deodorant very sparingly

 

 

 

WHAT TO WEAR DURING YOUR UV-FREE TANNING SESSION

 

  • You may tan in the garment of your choice. Bathing suits and underwear work well.
  • Men are required to wear underwear or bathing suit.
  • The DHA solution should wash out of most clothing
  • Wear loose fitting clothing for after session.
  • Tight clothes can rub off the DHA bronzer and smear the cosmetic bronzer.
  • We recommend loose shorts, and a loose fitting t-shirt (DO NOT WEAR JEANS)

 

 

MAINTAINING YOUR UV-FREE TAN

 

  • Immediately after your spray tanning session avoid activities that may cause you to sweat excessively
  • Use the air conditioning in your car on a hot day.
  • Important: You must avoid water entirely for at least four hours or you will stop the tanning action of the DHA!
  • Ideally, wait at least eight hours (or more) before showering or bathing with any kind of soap or shower gel. We recommend the next day if possible.
  • If you absolutely must shower before the eight hour period, wait at least four hours, then use plain water only to allow your tan to continue to develop.
  • Apply moisturizer after the shower and everyday after your tanning session. This will help prolong your tan.
  • The ‘‘instant color’’ cosmetic bronzer will wash off just as it is designed to do.
  • Do not take long hot baths or showers.
  • Chlorine from a pool or Jacuzzi can cause your tan to fade faster.
