Question 2

How do I prepare for my spray tan session?

Accepted 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 3

What should I do after my spray tan session?

Accepted 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.

Question 4

How long will my spray tan last?

Accepted Answer

Your spray tan can last up to a week. If you routinely workout or swim, it can fade a little sooner. To avoid a quick fade and to help the tan last longer, it’s important to moisturize daily. Tiki Tan offers several tan extender options to meet your needs.

Question 5

Will my skin be orange?

Accepted Answer

Just don't overuse tanning products or tan too frequently. It also helps to exfoliate your skin before each tanning session.

Will my skin have a self-tanning odor?
