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.)

Pat dry after you rinse, and after every shower.
Pat, Pat, Pat.
WHY: Excessive, and harsh, rubbing from the towel will make your tan fade quicker. Instead, pat dry.

A moisturized tan, is a very happy tan!
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize.
WHY: Keep the tan moisturized and crack free (with spray tan safe product) and your tan will continue to glow for days.
Stop using retinol 7 days before and after your tan.

WHY: Retinol can cause your tan to fade quicker.
Avoid Retinol.
Stay away from these Brands. Their products that can turn your tan green or fade unevenly.

Avoid The Bad List.
Use spray tan safe SPF products, avoid all spray sunscreen products.
7
Save it, Don't Spray it.
