After-Tan Care Instructions

Following proper aftercare instructions ensures that your tan processes correctly after your appointment! Results may vary if the rinse time or after-tan care instructions are not followed. Clients are responsible for following all aftercare instructions provided to ensure the best possible spray tan results.

* Wear loose-fitting clothing immediately after your spray tan until your FIRST RINSE. Continue wearing loose-fitting clothing for 24 hours during full development.

* Rinse within the time window based on your solution, as discussed during your appointment:

  • Classic Solution: Wait 8–12 hours before rinsing.

  • Rapid Solution: Rinse in 2–5 hours, depending on your desired depth of color.

* Your first rinse should always be lukewarm water only, rinsing with your hands, NO sponges/loofas/washcloths, NO soap, body wash or shampoo/conditioner, NO shaving or exfoliating. You will see bronzer washing away - this is completely normal! Gently pat dry afterward, do not rub.

* Avoid water, sweating, or swimming for at least 8 hours after your session.

* Wait to apply deodorant, perfume, or makeup until AFTER your first rinse.

* After your first rinse, moisturize with a gentle moisturizer free from sulfates, exfoliating properties or artificial scents.

* Your tan will fully develop 24 hours AFTER your appointment. It is VERY normal to feel like you don’t look tan after your first rinse when the bronzer is washed away. Don’t panic! We promise, there’s a beautiful tan developing!

* Stay well hydrated and moisturize daily to keep your tan looking vibrant.

* Within 7-10 days, you’ll begin to notice normal fading or some patchy areas. You can begin exfoliating when you shower to help the spray tan fading process.
