post-tan pro tips

• After letting the tan develop for 1-3+ hours, shower quickly for 45 secs with lukewarm water. Avoid shower gels, scrubs, shampoos and any type of loofah sponge during the first 24 hours after your spray sesh with us.

• Pat your skin dry. Key word, “pat.” DO NOT rub with your towel after the initial 45 second rinse. The brown bronze will wash away while the fast tan actives continue to work and deepen over the next 24 hours. Do not use hot water - it will stop the development of tan actives during the development time. This is a common mistake people make, especially in the colder months. Once you shower, you can wear whatever and resume your life 🙌🏻

• Use a non oil based moisturizer everyday after your application. This is crucial to extend the longevity of your spray tan. The moisturizer we love & use is available for purchase in our studio (just fyi.) Using a gradual tan product will keep your skin hydrated while also helping your color last longer. Drink lots of water! This makes a huge difference in how your skin holds onto the color. Hydration is key both before and after your spray tan!

• After day 5, exfoliate with a soft body scrub on a daily basis to help your skin absorb even more moisturizer. We love the tree hut brand. Again, if your skin is hydrated it will help your tan fade naturally rather than in patches. Follow these easy steps, and you’ll be golden (pun intended😉.)
