PRE+POST TAN CARE:
Please follow these pre and post-tanning directions to ensure
best tan results.
Keep in mind: The tan looks better 2 days after session.
Wednesday + Thursday appointments for Saturday events are best.
Manicure, pedicure wax+ spa services:
Should all be done at least a day before your tan session.
- Mani and Pedi can be done on same day after rinsing off a Rapid Tan.
but, don't let them hot towel or exfoliate shins, or soak feet too long. a dry pedi is ok.
Shower, shave, + exfoliate your body 24 hours before your airbrush session. This will prepare your skin, leaving it clean, but giving it time to gain its natural or neutral ph level. The solutions works really well on skin that is at a "not too dry, but not too oily balance".
*It's best to use a clear shower gel, not like Olay, Dove, or any bar of soap that may leave a residue on your skin that can interfere with the application.
**If you have very dry skin you may use a light lotion after your shower, making sure it's absorbed way before your session.
*No makeup and no deodorant before your session.
(we have makeup wipes, if needed)
The day of your airbrush tan:
*Bring or wear comfortable clothes for after session.
*The solution will not stain your clothes.
*The actual airbrush application takes at the most 1 minute.
*Total meeting, set up, and application takes up to or less than 10 minutes.
*during the application you can wear your own underwear, swimwear or disposable underwear I can provide in my studio. A lot of my clients don't like any tan lines and that's totally fine with me!
my Organic Body BALM and post tan anti age tan maintainer lotion
*The way to keep your glow lasting, and fade the right way is to moisturize your skin properly with the right stuff.
My Anti Age gradual tan daily lotion is specifically formulated for after spray tan maintenance $40
i'll have that at my studio and we can chat more in person about it.ITS THE BEST POST TAN/DAILY LOTION! and something you can use all year to maintain a light glow!
----
I also really love my organic body balm. $35
It's a totally natural product that I created for myself, and now for my clients. Something that is actually really good for your skin, and can be compatible with a pre or post spray tan.

+If you don't use my body balm or lotions try using something unscented, or a more natural product.
i'll share with you my favorites, I feel work best for post tan.(see more info on post tan care steps/ best recommended lotions to use in "tan tip" highlight on my instagram link on bottom of page)
+ See more info on tan preventatives list for important things to be aware of
color developing:
Try to keep skin dry and cool, while tan is developing. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR TAN, KEEP PALMS AND FINGERS OFF, don't try to fix anything yourself. Call or text me first if you have a concern or question. Don't touch your underwear if it was worn during application, the tan will easily transfer on palms and finger tips and, we are trying to prevent that, do not sleep on your hands for 2 days after the session.
wash hands with soap 3 hrs after the application.
While the tan is developing, if you notice slight imperfections, or smudging, this is not anything to worry about, it's just the cosmetic bronzer and is totally normal, it is temporary until your soap shower.
If you'd like to leave solution on over night or go past 12 hours, without rinsing, it will depend on the volume and what solution type I have applied. It's all very customized, and can be accommodating to your schedule. After you become comfortable with my solution, you will know the timing that works best for you and what color you desire most.
Rinse body:
-Wash your body with soap using only your hands, NO SCRUBBING OR USING LOOFAH WHILE YOU HAVE YOUR TAN.
You will see the cosmetic bronzer in the shower as you rinse, (burgundy type color, that's normal.
when you notice water running clear,
exit the shower.
-lightly dry with towel, do not rub or wipe too hard. The idea is to keep this "glow" as long as you can, so to be sensitive, MOST IMPORTANTLY ALWAYS KEEP SKIN MOISTURIZED WHILE TAN this is key for keeping your tan. -Be easy on your new sun kissed looking skin. -DRINK TONS OF WATER, STAY HYDRATED
-Shaving after a tan, you should've already been shaved prior to the session, if you need to shave, wait at least 2 days post application, use a clean razor and maybe use conditioner worst thing that can happen is it may just lighten the tan a bit, no big deal.
Avoid long, hot showers or baths, excessive sweating, and scrubbing the skin while having a fresh airbrush tan. Swimming pools, Jacuzzi’s, saunas, and steam rooms may all shorten the length of your tan.
Working out should be ok, but avoid sweating excessively. Dab sweat, do not wipe too hard.
if you workout a day after your session
You may want to wear dark clothing because you might see some light yellowish color from the tan/or bronzer inside your clothes.
Don’t limit yourself on your vacation.
If you will be in chlorine or natural salt water, a thick layer of SPF lotion may help protect your tan. still I don't recommend sitting in natural or chlorine for too long.
+See more info on this in
preventatives lists.
Days after your tan:
When your skin is in fading mode it shouldn't look blotchy at all, it should look like faint freckling off, hardly noticeable and easy to remove whatever is left over, this is the "naturally exfoliating", "skin shedding", "back to pale" process, and you want to clear off any left over solution, you may scrub any bit of color left by soaking skin in warm bath using a warm, wet towel and soap, or a loofah to clean extra old color off skin. I really also like using my body balm or coconut oil along with a warm wet wash cloth or in the bath, That's what I found to work the best for exfoliating my skin back to clean natural base again. You'll see the color transferring on to the towel, that's ok as it'll come out in the wash.
*See me again 12 days after your session, if needed. *This way you have a new clean layer of skin to tan for your next event.
Tan preventatives list:
SOME USERS (NOT ALL) and its kind of a rare situation but, HAVE FOUND THE FOLLOWING that may interfere with good results
●A woman’s tan may develop differently during various hormonal changes (ovulation, menstruation, menopause, or pregnancy). It may fade harsh, produce a patchy effect, develop a lighter, shorten tan time, or no tan develop at all.
●Certain medications you are taking may cause tan to not last as long
●Some users have found that Dove soap and shower gel will fade a tan faster or not develop evenly.
●Curel lotion
●Hair inhibiting lotions
●other store bought lotions with bronzers,)can ruin or tend to make a tan yellow.
●Anti-aging products like, "brightening" “renew”, “refresh”, exfoliate the skin, and fade the tan faster.
●AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids – glycolic, lactic, malic, citric, and tartaric acids)
●Retin – A type products (Retin-A, Renova, Tazorac, Tretinoin)
●Toners containing alcohols or witch hazel
●Anti-acne products that exfoliate the skin – accutane, salicylic acid
●Harsh makeup removers
●Bar soaps, especially deodorant varieties
●Usage of loofa, scrub mitt, dry brush etc will lighten tan faster..
●Removal of adhesive tape or band aids
●Facial masks and exfoliating scrub, dermaplaning
●Biore type or other adhesive facial strips
●Wax hair removal
●Depilatory hair removal products like Nair, or Veet, etc.
●Shaving exfoliates skin, which fades your tan. (Clients should always use a sharp clean razor with a lubricating product/hair conditioner which will not damage a tan as much. A dull razor scrapes off more skin
●Sweating, workouts, sauna, steam rooms, hot yoga, my lighten a tan.
●Body hair bleach
●Submersion/sitting in for long periods in hot tub, swimming pool chlorine water, natural or salt water will lighten and blotch tan faster
●People with oily skin tend to develop a lighter tan than people with dry skin. The oil can coat the skin while the dry skin absorbs more products at a faster rate
●Bug spray, when sprayed directly onto the skin, can remove or fade the tan
●Alcohol, perfumes and lotions with high perfumes can fade tan.
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
___________________
-Custom airbrush tans typically develop beautifully with time and care.
-Most important thing to understand is that the solution is a natural based product that will work differently depending on skin chemistry. Everyone is different and results will always vary.
-Wait 7-10 days for your next session.
I love my body balm and I hope you do too!
