SPRAY TAN PREP INSTRUCTIONS
Shave or wax to remove unwanted body hair.
Moisturize before bed to give an extra boost to your skin health.
Shower as normal, then exfoliate entire body (starting from the top, working to the feet!) with an oil-free exfoliant to remove unwanted residues and return your skin to its cleanest state- those exfoliating gloves work great!
* DO NOT apply deodorant, makeup, fragrance oils, colognes, moisturizers: these create a barrier
Remove makeup, deodorant, etc. (if you did apply them) with sluff exfoliating wipes.
Pull hair away from face and neck, and secure with a hair tie, and remove jewelry.
DO NOT apply barrier cream, prep sprays, PH Balancing sprays: these create barriers.
* Wear darker colors, but avoid drawstrings, ball caps, tight-fitting jeans and leggings, tight shoes with straps that will rub (flip-flops are great), rough fabrics, or anything that will make you sweat after your spray tan. Expect to skip the bra entirely!
If you are letting your tan develop while you sleep, were a loose long sleeve shirt and loose long pants to bed. Avoid wearing socks or a bra and avoid sleeping in a hot and sweaty room.

- Take rain boots or UGG boots
- Take long loose pants and a long sleeve top
- Hide hands in gloves or hide in your sleeves
- A loose poncho or raincoat is always winner!
Avoid anything that will get your spray tan wet (exercising, swimming, hot room yoga, rain, etc.

DO NOT keep touching your skin to check your tan, this will transfer solution to your palms

DO NOT use soaps or shampoos on initial rinse!
Maintain your tan with spray tan safe moisturizer, or DHA-infused Tan Extender, use twice daily- Avoid moisturizers containing alcohol, mineral oils or parabens.
Apply additional moisturizer after anything that will dry out your skin (working out, ocean water, hot tubs, chlorine pools, excessive sweating, etc.)
Your face will fade faster than the rest of your tan: use a DHA-infused Tan Extender to maintain a flawless, even tan. Apply at night before bed for best results.
Remember: Your tan will last longer the better you treat your skin!
