Request tan tech to apply pH balancing prep spray prior to your tan for optimal color and evenness if you have scaly dry, sun damaged, or mature skin.
Request tan tech to apply Hydroseal Moisture lock spray after your tan to extend your tan, firm your skin, lock in moisture, and neutralize any “spray tan odor”.
Avoid excessive perspiration or touching your skin with your hands after your spray.
No shower gel, hair washing, or shaving in the first 24 hours after your tan application.
First shower, Rinse throughly with WARM water (no hot water with a spray tan!) until the water is running clear and you do not see anymore bronzer washing down the drain which takes about 5 minutes. Do not use your hands or a washcloth to help get the bronzers off. (That can result in stained hands)
First Rinse times vary. Classic tan Rinse times is 8 hours MINIMUM no matter how light or dark you want to be. Rapid tans are shorter, between 1-5 hours usually and you will be instructed by your tech.
