Development
-Avoid moisture, getting sweaty, or wet
-Avoid skin to skin contact. Refrain from touching your skin or others until you’ve rinsed
-If you’re sleeping in your tan, wear sweatpants and a long sleeve as to avoid skin to skin contact
First Rinse
-Hop in the shower making it quick (1-2 mins max) not too hot and free of soaps + hair products
-“Squeegee” your body with your hands only. The cosmetic bronzer will wash away and as soon as the water runs clear you’re done
-Pat dry and start moisturizing with a spray tan safe moisturizer
-For a longer lasting tan, skip soaps and shampoo for the first 24 hours as the solution is still developing
Rapid Tans
The life of a rapid tan is a bit different but trust the process! At first it will be a little too dark, after your rinse it will be a little too light and after 12-24 hours it will be fully developed and just right
Aftercare
-Use a spray tan safe moisturizer 1-2 times daily. We recommend anything gentle, free of mineral oil, heavy fragrance and exfoliating properties. Hempz, Cerave, and Native are a great options
-Avoid Dove, Victoria Secret and Bath & Body Works products before and during your tan
-Excessive sweating will cause tan to fade. Skip the sauna and hot yoga until your tan is gone
-Switch to low support sports bras. Less surface area + less friction = longer tan
-Soaking in pools & hot tubs will fade tan prematurely
-Use a lotion SPF instead of aerosol as it is high in alcohol and very drying
-When you’re ready to say goodbye to your tan simply exfoliate it off with an exfoliating mitt and book your next tan!
