PSSST! Don't worry about memorizing all of the following aftercare tips! This information can also be found on the back of your rinse card!
Depending on the shade you chose, I will let you know when to rinse after your spray tan.
- This first rinse is NOT a shower.
- This is a quick 45-second rinse-off.
- Do not use soap, do not scrub.
- Use lukewarm water.
- The water will be brown going down the drain, this is expected and is normal.
Your First Rinse.
WHY: The rinse off time prevents “alligator skin”. If the tan sits too long, it could result in a dried out, cracked, tan. (Hence, “alligator”, not the bronze look we are going for.)
