How To Make My Spray Tan Last?

I get this question frequently and the answer is rather simple. It is all about before and after care!!!

MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE!!!!!!!

BEFORE CARE

Shower and exfoliate your entire body 4 hours prior to your Tan to remove dead skin

cells and get your ski in the best condition for the Spray Tan. Begin scrubbing your

body

in a circular motion starting with the bottoms of your feet and working your way up.

When you reach the bikini area, don’t scrub too hard because the skin is very sensitive.

Be gentle on your face, particularly around your eyes and mouth. Use our exfoliating

productespecially formulated for the face, which is gentler than products designed

to be

used

on the body.

Shave all soon-to-be tanned areas at least 4 hours prior to tanning. This will also remove dead skin

(so you'll get same effect post tan too) thus shave BEFORE your spray tan appointment.

No lotions, makeup, deodorant, perfume or any other products should be used after the final shower. These products can, and more than likely will, create a barrier for the sunless tanning solution.

Bring loose, dark clothing for the trip home. You don't want the airbrush tanning solution to stain your clothes. Don't wear anything constricting or tight right after the airbrush tan. Bring a hair tie to pull hair up off back and face.

AFTER CARE

Don't wear anything constricting or tight right after the tanning session.

Water is not your friend (well...only when it comes to the first 8 hours, that is). Please avoid water until you take your first shower 8-12 hours after your spray tan is applied, (or as recommended by your spray tan professional due to different solutions).

This includes pedicures, manicures, doing the dishes, rainy days, bathing the kids or dogs, etc.... One drop and your airbrush tan will come off on that spot!

In order to get the most life out of your tan, here are some keys to remember:

Avoid hot showers

Avoid chlorine from hot tubs or swimming pools

Avoid scrubbing the skin

Avoid soaps.

Another tip: Pat your skin dry with the towel and moisturize your skin thoroughly after each shower! Ask for our tan extender moisturizer!!! Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize some more!!!!!

Do NOT work out the day of your airbrush tanning appointment. In fact, avoid sweating all day, if possible. This means time your work out several hours, or a day before spray tan.

No physical contact (wink, wink ) until after your first shower.

Do not exfoliate until your next The Organic Glow spray tan session.

Safety Note: If you go into the sun, use sunscreen. Your tan does NOT have SPF and will NOT protect your skin.
