Air Airbrush Tan
Prep and Maintenance
THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR TAN
-
Please shave or wax your legs 24 hours before your tan.
-
Moisturize really well before bed.
-
Exfoliate THOROUGHLY as well. This will remove dead skin and provide a new, smooth surface for your tan. Making a paste with baking soda and water in the shower and gently rubbing over entire body gives the best results. Avoid scrubs that have oils. Exfoliating helps to promote even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan.
-
DO NOT USE DOVE PRODUCTS! Dove soap and Dove lotions leave a film on your skin that directly leads to a blotchy tan.
THE DAY OF YOUR TAN -
Review and Sign the Release Form (available at the studio when you sign in).
-
Remove make-up, moisturizer, perfume and deodorant before your application.
-
It is recommended that you wear dark, loose fitting clothing.
-
A woman’s tan can be directly affected by her hormones. Considering her cycle, it can cause blotchiness or the color not to develop as dark as normally. It’s not common, but it happens.
-
Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session in order to allow the tan to develop properly on your feet. Flip flops are acceptable.
-
Avoid applying moisturizers or deodorants until after your first rinse.
-
REMEMBER When you take your first shower you will see some bronzer wash off. Don’t worry. This is quite normal as it is only the color guide that the spray tan technician uses when the tan is applied. You will be left with a gorgeous tan.
AFTERCARE -
Let your tan set for at least 7-8 hours (overnight if possible) before showering or taking a bath. This allows your tan to develop.
-
Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session in order to allow the tan to develop properly on your feet.
-
Moisturize at least twice a day to prolong the life of your tan.
-
All swimming, showering and vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 5 hours as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan.
-
Do not shave for 12 hours after your treatment.
