What to Do After Your Spray Tan Appointment

Protect Your Skin from Water, Sweat, and Alcohol
Do not let your tan get wet until it is fully developed. This includes tears, rain, snow, hand sanitizer, or vodka! There’s no crying in spray tans! Don’t go to the gym and don’t do the dishes. Take this time to lounge, walk around a museum, or go to the movies. If you booked an express tan this will only take about 2-4 hours. A standard spray tan or Luxe tan will take about 8 hours.

Don’t Touch!
Remember to not touch or rub your body until your tan fully develops and you rinse off. Touching your body will remove tan from one area and transfer it to your palms and they will turn orange. Don’t let anyone else touch you either 😉.

Rinse Off When You Like Your Color
When you feel like your color is the depth you desire, rinse off in the shower with just water until the water runs clear. Do not go more than 4 hours before rinsing an Express tan or 8 hours before rinsing a standard or Luxe tan. If you feel like you’d like a deeper color after you rinse off, book a touch up session with your provider.

Hydrate Your Skin
After rinsing, dry your body gently with a soft towel and apply a mineral oil free lotion or body oil afterwards. Any product with mineral oil will strip your tan and should not be used. We recommend hydrating your skin with Eminence Organics Yuzu Solid Body Oil, Stone Crop Contouring Body Cream, or any moisturizer we stock in-store. Keeping your skin hydrated will extend your tan and help it fade evenly.
