After your spray tanning session, you’ll be left with a flawless glow designed to make you look and feel your absolute best. To keep your tan looking fresh, even, and radiant for as long as possible, it’s important to follow the recommended aftercare instructions. Proper aftercare will help maintain your beautiful bronzed glow and ensure the best long-lasting results.
Clothing
What kind of clothing should I wear?
Wear loose fitting clothing until after your first shower.
No denim, no bras, and no yoga pants.
Ideally, wear a long t-shirt dress.
Can I wear socks after getting a spray tan?

Can I wear shoes after getting a spray tan?
The best shoes after a spray tan include sandals & flip flops.
Exfoliating
When can I exfoliate after getting a spray tan?
Don’t exfoliate until you are ready to say goodbye.
When you are ready to say goodbye, use an exfoliating mitt to create the perfect canvas for your next tan.
Showering
When can I take a shower after getting a spray tan?
Stay away from all moisture until your first shower; this means no showers, no work outs, no cleaning, no lotions, and no liquid foundations on the skin.
Take your first shower 6 - 8 hours after your spray tan.
Do NOT go more than 24 hours after your appointment to shower.
How do I wash my body after a spray tan?
Be gentle. Use warm water, only a natural body wash, and the palms of your hands to rinse surface bronzer off your skin. You will see some bronzer wash away – this is normal!
Avoid harsh scrubbing, hot water, soap bar, and Dove soap.
Pat yourself dry, don’t rub.
Moisturizing
What type of lotion should I use after a spray tan?
Moisturise with an oil-free moisturiser.
Moisturise in the AM and PM with an oil-free moisturiser.
What lotions should I avoid?
Ensure that the lotion you use is as natural and organic as possible, which means it will include no mineral oil or oils at all.
Other Tips
What not to do
To preserve your tan, avoid swimming, long showers, baths, steam rooms, and saunas.
Avoid harsh chemicals such as chlorine, products containing acids, massages, fashion tape, bandages, and anything else that may strip your tan.
We know it’s hard, but keep your hands off your hot self. No leg crossing or other skin to skin contact until your first shower.
