We offer standard solutions that can be rinsed off anywhere from 8-12 hours post tan, a semi-express that can be rinsed off 4 hours post tan, and the traditional express that can be rinsed anywhere between 1-3 hours after, depending on the desired depth of the tan. Just note that the traditional express tan may continue to develop color for 6-8 hours after rinsing.
There is no wrong choice here! Spray tanning is not a one-size-fits-all service, so we love to provide options. Your formula will be stored in the client database for easy future decisions.
• The answer is yes, but 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. DHA, the main ingredient in all self-tanning products, is safe to be used topically when pregnant and nursing. We’ve had plenty of happy mothers-to-be who love treating themselves to this service while pregnant.
• If you are nursing, please bring a strapless bra that clasps in the back so we can cover and avoid spraying that area. Rapid rinse/express tans are encouraged for nursing moms! It's also highly recommended to wear long sleeves post-tan to ensure you don't transfer color while holding your little one.
How should I prep for my tan?
You want your skin to be freshly exfoliated, sweat-free, and moisturizer-free. (No soaps, residues, or lotions.) It’s encouraged to use a light moisturizer on your face prior to tanning. Please make sure to shave, wax, get your nails done, and exfoliate prior to your appointment.
I don’t encourage large body waxing services the same day as your tan, so please try to do any body waxing 24 hours prior. Facial waxing day of is no problem.
You’ll need to make sure you allow enough time for developing, depending on which spray tan solution you choose. While your tan is developing, you should avoid getting wet, sweating, wearing tight clothes, or using a moisturizer. All of these things are fine once you’ve rinsed!
I recommend moisturizing daily post-shower to ensure your skin stays hydrated, as this will maximize the longevity of your tan. Certain products and activities can affect the life of your tan such as: swimming in chlorine or salt water, excessively sweaty workouts, “sport” types of sunscreens, and any products with drying properties such alcohol.
On average, your spray tan should last 5-10 days. This can vary based on skin type, post-tan activities, and how well your skin retains moisture.
