frequently asked questions

DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?

We have everything you need: disposable underwear, hair bonnets, nose plugs etc. We don't have bras because of the straplines, but you are always welcome to bring your own bathing suit. Most clients go topless - we also have pasties.

SHOULD I EXFOLIATE BEFORE?

You do NOT need to exfoliate your skin before you come to see us, no scrubbing is better with our way of spraying to achieve the best spray tan. If you do scrub - please do so gently and evenly.

HOW LONG BEFORE MY EVENT SHOULD I SPRAY TAN?

The Rapid Tan only allows you to shower sooner. However, the tanning solutions take 12-18 hours to fully develop color.

WHAT TO WEAR

SALON TREATMENTS

We have everything you need: Disposable Underwear, Hair Bonnets & Hair Ties. Loose clothing is best for comfort after tan. We don’t have bras because of the straplines. You are always welcome to bring your own bathing suit top. Most of our clients go without tops - we have pasties also.

AFTER YOUR TAN

WAIT 8 OR MORE HOURS TO SHOWER

Try to keep water off your skin and wait 8 hours until showering (1-4 for Rapid). We recommend that you do NOT moisturize, exercise or perspire excessively during those first hours.

MAINTAINING

WAIT 8 OR MORE 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 8 or more 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. The only real no-no’s are products that say “renewing,” “regenerating,” “anti-aging,” or “anti-acne.”
