How to Prepare and Care

BEFORE YOUR TAN:
Healthy skin will retain your longer and will help ensure no blotching or streaking.   Spray tan affects the top layer of your skin, hence lasting 7 – 10 days, your lifestyle and lack of maintenance may reduce this.

  • Exfoliate gently the day before your appointment focusing on elbows, knees and feet.
  • Shave any areas the day before (to avoid irritation)
  • Any waxing should be done at least 24 hours before your airbrush appointment.
  • Please do not schedule any pedicures, hair appointments or any other treatments for your body for at least 8 hours after your tan – it is best to have these done prior to, or the day after your tan.
  • Do not have any lotion, make-up or perfume on as this will act as a barrier for the tan solution.
  • It is best to wear dark, loose fitting clothes to your tanning appointment.

AFTER YOUR TAN:

  • Allow the tan to set naturally for a MINIMUM 8 hours.  Avoid touching your skin, sweating or water until you’ve showered as the tan is still setting.
  • Avoid any instances that will dry out your skin such as hot showers or baths, salt water, chlorine and not moisturizing. If you will be in salt water or chlorine, be sure to take a fresh water shower afterwards. Try to take warm showers instead of hot to avoid drying out the skin.
  • Do not exfoliate or shave for a minimum of 48 hours after your session to preserve the life of your sunless tan. If you must, be sure to do so evenly and gently.
  • Pat dry after you bath as rubbing may rub off your tan.
  • Use Bronze Baxx Spray Tan recommended products to extend the life of your tan.
