Tips for the PERFECT Spray Tan

The best time to spray is 2 days before your event. If your event is on a Saturday, you will want to spray on a Thursday. That means your prep day is Wednesday!!!!

AVOID
Any product on your skin after your prep shower. Moisturizers, Perfumes, Oils, Makeup can all prevent your spray from absorbing correctly. Same thing for shaving! Those bars of stuff on razors are huge problem! They create a shield at making sprays just fall off skin!! We suggest only using products before/during/after your spray that are  made for sprays! Read below for our favorite products and how to use them in your routine for the best results!

*Exfoliate
Not all products are the same! We suggest the Selfie Sunless Tan Remover to get your skin ready for your spray and using the Selfie Exfoliating Mitt or a regular cloth wash towel to buff it off. Use the remover on your skin about 20 minutes before showering and buff it out with a mitt! Spraying or not, we suggest exfoliating one time per week to keep skin young and fresh!
Exfoliate about a day before your spray! You want no sooner than 4-6 hours before your spray and no later than 24 hours before your spray. Make sure to exfoliate THEN shave ;) Make sure to shave with Head to Glow, a shave cream designed for sprays, we sell it! Shave creams, coconut oil, the lather or silk strips on razer bars will repel sprays!!

Shower & Shave
Remember to leave your sunless application on for optimal results. Our in salon spray booth may be rinsed anywhere from 8 to 24 hours after your spray depending on desired darkness! (1 to 3 if you get the Rapid formula if available) Make sure to use products that keep your tan on your body and not washed down the drain! We are in love with the new Double Bubble Selfie Wash designed for after spray tan care! Any body wash we sell is designed to keep your spray on and attract a new spray!! Needing to shave? Head to Glow is perfection to keeping the tan on and protecting your skin during a shave.

Leave It Be & Wear Comfy, Loose Clothing.
Put on your Sunday Morning lounge clothes. You want baggy, loose clothes after your spray! Ideally dark clothes in case there is bronzer rub off!! When you are letting your spray rest, you don't want to get wet, sweat, work too hard. This is your excuse to relax and pamper yourself! Try not to itch or scratch yourself. Put in contacts to avoid glasses marks! Keep hair up and away from your face/body. Keep jewelry off.

​When it comes time to rinse off your spray tan--- Do not use any soaps or shampoo simply cool rinse off your spray.
Then PAT dry, do not rub dry.
DO NOT PEE IN THE SHOWER--it will strip your color. I know, TMI. But it needs to be said!!!
Chlorine, Saltwater will also shorten spray longevity. 
Spray tans do not provide SPF, make sure to use mineral based sun protection while out on vacation, check out EWG best rated sunblocks!
Did you know a base tan smartly built in any of our indoor units provides your skin with 4x resistance to sunburns? Add that with sunblocks for more coverage against the awful burning!

Skin Care Routine
We suggest using salon quality, tan extending washes, moisturizers. face creams and tanning lotions. Believe it or not, over the counter ones are not formulated to extend the life of your tan, and most have ingredients in them that will strip or fade your color! The more hydrated your skin is, the longer it will last. Using the right shower products won't wash your tan down the drain, either. Pro Tip: PAT dry with towels after showers so you don't rub your spray tan off.

HEMPZ has been bought out and now contains ingredients that will FADE your tan and spray, worst off will improperly exfoliate your sprays now. We do not suggest getting it over the counter now :(  Ask us what products will help/hurt your tan!

Time is on your side
Your body can't take that much spray tan, so we suggest spraying 1 time in a 7 to 10-day period with our long lasting solution. If at day 10 you still have color we would like to go over your after care routine as your skin may not be hydrated enough to healthy shed dead skin cells like it is supposed to.  After 4 weekly sprays we suggesting skipping a full week so your solution can fall completely off. Too much spray will cause you not to hold color well. We use a luxe formula that lasts!!!
