Question 3

Can I spray tan my face; is it ok for sensitive skin?

Question 6

How do I prepare for my spray tan session?

Answer

1. Shave or Wax 12-18 hours prior to your Spray Tan session. - Hair can block the solution, but you want to allow time for your pores to close for a smoother overall appearance. Also, the extra time allows the skin to return to its normal pH level prior to the session. 2. Exfoliate - Remove dead skin cells to allow for a more even, richer tan. 3. Have Clean Skin - Perfume, make-up, deodorant, lotion, moisturizer, oil, bronzers, etc., can create a barrier which reduces the effectiveness of your spray tan. Clean skin lessens the risk of streaking. 4. Apply Nail Polish to Fingernails/Toenails (optional) - Even a clear coat of polish can help block solution and prevent nail discoloration. 5. Wear Dark, Loose Fitting Clothing - Loose clothing will not rub away the fresh tan. DHA solution can stain fabric, so you'll want to avoid light colored clothing.

Question 7

What should I do after my spray tan session?

Answer

1. Keep Skin Dry for at least 6 hours - Wait to shower, and avoid sweating, swimming, etc. or applying make-up in order to allow the DHA time to develop on your skin. 2. Shower in Cool or Warm water and Blot Dry - Best to avoid hot showers and vigorous towel drying which can have an exfoliating affect. 3. Hydrate Before and After - Dry skin sheds and reduces the life of any tan. Hydrate daily for healthy looking skin. 4. Avoid Pool/Spa Chemicals and Salt Water - Pool/spa chemicals such as Chlorine and Bromine, as well as Salt Water can cause premature fading. 5. Protect against Exfoliation - Shave less often. Avoid scrubs and use regular body wash. 6. Moisturize Daily with Oil Free Products - A variety of products that complement a spray tan are available in our salons. Note: Products containing mineral oils and sulfates can significantly reduce the life of your spray tan.
