Tan-tastic Mobile Spray Tanning

You can expect your spray tan to last up to 7-10 days, depending on your skin type, preparation and post tan care.
Preparation
Exfoliate your skin prior to your appointment; ideally the night before your appointment. If you do it the same day, try to do it at least 4 hours before your appointment. Using an exfoliation mitt or gloves is what I recommend. Pay attention to rough areas like knees, elbows, ankles and the tops of your feet. It’s best to shave the day before your spray tan. Shaving can leave wax residue behind which can affect your tan development. Use a spray tan approved body wash for shaving.
No Shaving cream
No Conditioner (to shave with)
No Shampoo (to shave with)
No Dove soap
No Oil of Olay soap
No Victoria Secret products
No Bath & Body Work products
Ideally your body should be free of perspiration, deodorant, makeup and moisturizer.
Wear attire suitable for tanning. Wear dark loose fitting clothing after your appointment. Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics. Leather, wool and silk may stain.
Post Tan
After your tan is applied DO NOT wet your skin for at least 8 hours for a standard solution, and 4-5 hours for a rapid solution. Showering the next morning is fine if we use a standard solution. Do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and showering phase. When showering you want to gently use your hands or a spray tan mitt to remove the bronzer with a tan approved body wash (AYU Sunless, Dr. Bronner’s, Jason Naturals, Andalou, Shea moisture, Cetaphil, Cera-ve, & Aveeno sulfate free)
Tips to Prolong Your Spray Tan
Pat dry after showering, do not rub. Take cooler, quick showers. If you must shave use a clean sharp razor, using hair conditioner will help the razor glide, a dull razor scrapes off more of your skin and tan.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize! Jojoba or olive oils are nice options, apply when damp after showering. Shea butter is also a great moisturizer. Try to stick to natural products.
Long hot baths, hot tubs, chlorine and saltwater can affect the tan. If you go in a pool or salt water try to rinse after so the salt and chemicals don’t dry your skin.
Drink plenty of water; well hydrated skin may hold the tan longer.
Avoid the following Products after your spray tan:
Dove, Suave and Oil of Olay soaps. I recommend natural shower gels free from parabens & sulfates. Some good brands are Shea Moisture, Andalou, Jason Naturals and Dr. Bronner’s
Baby oil/ products with mineral oil
Bar soaps/shaving cream
Exfoliating scrubs, use of a loofa, or scrub mitt
Makeup remover cleaning products
Hair inhibiting lotions
Toners with alcohol or witch hazel
Facial masks
Anti-acne products that exfoliate (salicylic acid, Accutane)
Body hair bleaching products
Wax hair removal and Depilatory hair removal products (Nair, Neet, Veet, etc.)
Anti-aging products
Retin-A type products (renova, tretinoin)
AHA (alpha hydroxyl acids-glycolic, lactic, malic, citric and tartaric acids)
BHA (beta hydroxyl acids- salicylic acid)
Band-Aid or other adhesive tapes
A women’s tan may develop differently during hormonal changes. It may be patchy, streaky, fade or produce a lighter color.
