Are you ready to achieve that sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV rays? Spray tanning offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional tanning methods. Whether you're a seasoned spray tan enthusiast or a first-timer, proper before and aftercare is essential to ensure a flawless and long-lasting tan. In this blog post, we'll explore some essential tips to help you prep your skin before your spray tan session and maintain your golden glow afterward.
HOW DOES OUR SOLUTION WORK?
We discovered that the brown sugar ingredient, derived from a specific type of apple, makes the DHA color level customizable. The amount of solution absorbed by the skin will determine the darkness (DHA%) level. The color level that appears when applying our solution will determine the color level that will develop as a final result. If it looks darker when applying, it will hold dark. If it looks lighter when applying, it Will hold light. To simplify, what you see what you get.

Before Your Spray Tan:
1. Exfoliate: A day or two before your appointment, exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin cells. Pay special attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. This step helps create a smooth canvas for the tanning solution, ensuring an even application and longer-lasting results.
2. Shave or Wax: If you prefer to shave or wax, do so at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. This allows your pores to close, reducing the risk of irritation or uneven tanning.
3. Skip the Moisturizer: Avoid applying moisturizers, oils, or lotions on the day of your appointment. These products can create a barrier on your skin, preventing the tanning solution from adhering evenly.
4. Remove Makeup and Deodorant: Before your session, remove all makeup, deodorant, and other skincare products from your skin. These products can interfere with the tanning process and may cause discoloration.
5. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing to wear to your appointment. Tight clothing and light colors can rub off the tanning solution and stain your clothes. Avoid wearing tight bras or underwear immediately after your session to prevent tan lines.
After Your Spray Tan:
1. Wait Before Showering: Please wait to shower/rinse your Original Organic formula tan to develop fully for a minimum of 5-7 hours, depending on the level of darkness you're seeking. For our Express options, please wait 1-2 hours for a light tan, 2-3 hours for a medium tan, and 4+ hours for darker tone. You will only be rinsing off the excess solution at this time, with water only, no soap. This allows the tan to set properly and ensures optimal color development. Your tan will continue to process over the following 12 hours.
2. Avoid Water and Sweat: After your spray tan, avoid activities that cause sweating or exposure to water, such as doing dishes, exercising or swimming. Moisture can cause streaking or uneven fading, compromising the quality of your tan.
3. Moisturize Daily: Hydrated skin helps prolong the life of your tan. Moisturize your skin daily with a gentle, hydrating lotion to keep it soft and supple. Avoid products containing oils, as they can break down the tan more quickly. Ask your technician about our aftercare options.
4. Pat Dry After Showering: When showering, gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it with a towel. Vigorous rubbing can cause premature fading and uneven patches.
5. Avoid Exfoliation: To maintain your tan, avoid exfoliating your skin or using harsh scrubbing products. Instead, opt for gentle cleansing and moisturizing to preserve your golden glow.
6. Touch-Up as Needed: Depending on your skin type and lifestyle, your spray tan may fade gradually over time. Consider scheduling touch-up sessions every 1-2 weeks to maintain consistent color.
By following these before and aftercare tips, you can ensure a beautiful, long-lasting spray tan that leaves you feeling confident and radiant. Remember to consult with your spray tan technician for personalized advice and recommendations based on your skin type and preferences. With proper care, you can enjoy that coveted sun-kissed glow year-round, guilt-free!
