Don’t get wet or sweat- I want you to continue to marinate like a grilled chicken breast in your dark baggy sweatpants and loose long-sleeve shirt for a perfect evening tan

Do not touch your skin as you will get Cheeto-looking fingers from solution transfer and can leave handprints/marks on your skin

Use warm water with NO soap — just rinse with water using your hands as a guide to help rub off all bronzer from your skin

During your rinse, your bronzer will come off your skin & appear to be like mud going down the drain— that is exactly what you want! You won’t look “tan” if you had a rapid solution until 12-24 hours post spray tan OR if you stayed in a standard solution, you will see your color instantly.

Make sure you don’t see any water streaks on your skin. If you do, you missed bronzer — just hop right back into the shower.

When you are out, you may wear whatever post-spray clothing you’d like and are welcome to wear deodorant at this point.

At 24 hours, you may resume with all lotion, body wash, and shampoo/conditioner. It is totally normal to feel like your tan looks lighter after your first rinse — your true color is still developing underneath and will continue to get deeper over the next 24–48 hours.

Avoid any exfoliating products and keep those showers nice and quick if you want that tan to last! 

Keep your glow strong and even by following these tips:

• Moisturize daily — dry skin = a flaky, patchy fade. Use a lightweight, tan-safe lotion morning & night.

• Hydrate from the inside too — water is the secret weapon for a long-lasting glow.

• Avoid long hot baths, saunas, pools & ocean — lots of soaking can fade your tan faster.

• Pat dry after showers — rubbing with a towel can wash away your glow.

• No scrubs, loofahs, or shaving until you’re ready to say goodbye to your tan — these exfoliate your color right off.

• Use a gentle body wash (nothing with alcohols, mineral oils, or exfoliating beads). Your spray tan safe prep body wash is highly encouraged to be continued throughout the week 

• If your face fades faster (totally normal!) — consider purchasing our “Ocean Avenue” Tanning mist that is a gradual tanning water to maintain color to your face post skincare routine fading.

When you’re ready for your next spray tan, exfoliate the day before your appointment to reset your skin perfectly with that fabulous exfoliating mit!
