Spray Tan

Let your tan set for at least 7-8 hours (overnight if possible) before showering or taking a bath. This allows your tan to develop.

Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session in order to allow the tan to develop properly on your feet.
Avoid applying moisturizers or deodorants.
Avoid wearing tight clothing for at least 5 hours. This includes tighter-fitting jeans, bras, spandex, tight blouses and shoes/socks.
All swimming, showering and vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 5 hours as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan.
Do not shave for 12 hours after your treatment.
Remember when you take a shower or a bath you will probably see some colour wash off. Don’t worry. This is quite normal as it is only the colour guide that the spray tan technician uses when the tan is applied. You will be left with a gorgeous tan.
