AFTER YOUR TAN

WAIT 10 HOURS TO SHOWER

Try to keep water off your skin and wait 10 hours until showering (1-4 for Rapid). We recommend that you do NOT moisturize, exercise or perspire excessively during those first hours. Waterproof sunscreen will help protect your tan in chlorinated water.

MAINTAINING

WAIT 10 HOURS TO SHOWER

NO Dove soap. This soap will shorting the life of your tan. Moisturize daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin naturally exfoliates and will help keep your tan longer. When shaving, use a sharp razor and hair conditioner with light pressure.

HAND/PALM PLACEMENT

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Please be careful of where your hands/palms are placed especially if sleeping with tan before showering. Also be careful of rubbing a line of your chest from seat belts during the first 10 hours (1-4 for Rapid)

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Waterproof sunscreen will help protect your tan in water especially chlorine pools or jacuzzis. Although you look tan, you still need sunscreen. Try to avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Also avoid products that are designed to exfoliate your skin.
