What to do Before, During, and After Your Spray Tan

 

24-48 HOURS PRIOR TO SESSION

• Exfoliate: This is your most important task when receiving a flawless spray tan. 24-hours prior to your appointment, clear away any dry, dead skin cells with an exfoliating scrub.

• Any shaving or waxing should be completed at least 24-hours prior to session. 

• Avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products, or in-shower moisturizers. This could neutralize the skin's reaction to the DHA Bronzing agents. 

 

DAY OF SESSION

• You do not want to create any sunless barriers on the day of your sunless tan. Avoid applying anything to the skin that may act as a barrier, preventing the DHA bronzers from penetrating your skin. Do not use creams, lotions, or perfumes prior to session.

• Wear loose fitted dark clothing. If your clothing is too tight, you risk rubbing or smearing the bronzers, especially around the waist, elbows and knees.

• Remove any make-up prior to sunless application.

 

AFTER SESSION CARE

• After 5 minutes of being completely dry, you may dress in your loose fitted dark clothing. 

• Avoid water & sweating for at least 3 hours. SHOWER AFTER 12 HOURS using only mild pH balancing shower gel such as the Sjolie Body Wash. If you must shower before 12 hours, rinse with warm water only, do not use any gels or soaps.

• To extend your tan's longevity, apply a daily lotion such as the Sjolie Tan Extender.
