Spray Tanning After Care

DO NOT shower and avoid all moisture for at least 6-8 hours after your tan is applied. You may wash your hands.

1. WEAR LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING
After your tan, you should wear loose-fitting clothing so your tan doesn’t rub off or look uneven. You’ll want to avoid wearing anything tight, like jeans, leggings, yoga pants, socks, or sneakers.

2. GO COMMANDO
It might sound silly but try to avoid wearing a bra or undies directly after your spray tan. If you do want to wear underwear, choose a loose, dark pair as the spray tan solution could stain nylon or Lycra (it washes out of most fabrics, though). If you want to wear a bra, choose a strapless or bandeau style.

3. STAY DRY
To help your tan develop, you’ll want to avoid all moisture for at least 6-8 hours after you get a spray tan. This includes showering, workouts, hot yoga, lotions, liquid foundation, etc. Staying dry will help the spray tan solution adhere to your skin.

4. WAIT TO SHOWER
We recommend showering no sooner than 6-8 hours after your spray tan, but no longer than 24 hours after. When you do shower, be gentle and only use oil-free cleansers. Avoid any exfoliants and just use the palm of your hand to gently rinse off the surface bronzer. Avoid harsh scrubbing, hot water and other chemicals. Pat yourself dry instead of rubbing.
- Rinse until the water runs clear-
**Leaving the bronzer on your skin can result in streaks and oversaturation**

5. MOISTURIZE AFTER THE SHOWER
After your shower, moisturize with an oil-free, unscented moisturizer. Hydrated skin maintains a tan longer than dry, thirsty skin. Remember the previous spray tan aftercare tip to stay dry.

6. AVOID MAKEUP
Avoid applying any makeup for at least 6 to 8 hours after a spray tan. Applying makeup or any other types of moisturizer can alter the color of a fresh spray tan or cause blotches.
