TAN CARE

  • Here is what you do before your spray tan:

    Preparing your skin for your sunless session is KEY! The better you prepare your skin, the better your results will be!

    If you have dry skin, start a week or more prior to your session by exfoliating and moisturizing your skin with quality skin care products such as our Infinity Sun Exfoliating Masque and Moisturizing Body Wash.

    If you are tanning for an event, or especially your wedding or prom, it is imperative that you ALWAYS be aware of your sun exposure and what you are wearing. DON'T get caught unexpectedly without your sunscreen. Tan lines take a long time to fade. Your spray tan can minimize them. Here are some SPF options. I will not spray over a sunburn.

    Review all preparation and maintenance instructions; text/email if you have additional questions or concerns that I can answer for you

  • Here is what you do on the day of your spray tan session:

    Make sure to shower AT LEAST 3 hours prior to your session using phydraluxe.

    Shave, use a non-oil exfoliant, and use a water-based moisturizer preferably the evening before your tan

    After conditioning your hair, make sure to use your hands to remove the leftover conditioner on your body.

    Don't work out immediately prior to your session, plan to complete your workout prior to your last shower. Sweat and spray tans are No Bueno.

    Come to the studio with clean skin (no makeup, deodorant, perfume, or lotion)

    Wear or bring loose clothing and shoes for wearing home.

    Have your hair pulled off your face and neck

  • Wait at least 8-12 hours before getting wet (this includes showering, sweating, washing dishes, watering the lawn, crying, makeup and moisturizers). If it's wet, stay away from it!

    Cover Shoot - 8 hrs = lightest tan; 10 hrs = medium tan; 12+ hrs = darkest tan.

    For rapid tan, wait 2-6 hours or as directed by your spray tan specialist. For ultra dark, wait 6-12 hours.

    Keep your hands out of water for as long as possible today. Try using hand sanitizer just on the palms of your hands. As soon as you put your hands in water the color will stop developing.

    (Preparing for your next tan) When needed, use the X-Tan Remover to help fade unwanted color. Soak in a hot bath with 1/2 c baking soda and juice of a lemon for 20 minutes (add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil for relaxation) and use the exfoliating mitt to remove your old tan.

    Don’t rub your face or skin with your hands today, the color will stain your hands until you have taken your first shower.

    No bad vibes! Developing spray tans + tears = streaked cheeks!

    No soap or body wash in your first rinse post-tan (warm water rinse ONLY using your hands to gently remove the cosmetic color until the water runs clear).

    When showering, while you have your tan, use only your hands while washing and soap only “the essentials”. Take a warm to cool shower for the life of your tan. Hot water is dehydrating your skin and fades your tan quicker. AVOID Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, Caress Shower Gels, or Lotions. Anything with a lot of perfume has a lot of alcohol and that is striping of the color. Also, avoid Dove body wash, it will change the color of your tan, it leaves a film on your skin, and will strip your color faster. After your initial first shower, Phydra-Luxe Optimizing Wash is a great body wash designed to make tans last. After conditioning your hair, make sure to use your hands to remove the leftover conditioner on your body.

    No loofahs, washcloths, or body scrubs for the life of the tan. Pat yourself dry with a towel after your shower. Do not rub.

    Anything that exfoliates your skin will exfoliate and fade your tan!

    Dry skin leads to a patchy fade. Moisturize often (at least 2 times per day) with a water-based(mineral-oil free) moisturizer to ensure even fading and longer wear of the tan.

    Our post-tan care product line, Infinity Sun Extend Lotion, can lengthen the life of your tan dramatically…anywhere from 3-7 days. Our Tan Me BB can extend your tan for up to 3 weeks and is also a gradual tanner, color corrector, and skin-plumping BB cream. Also, our SPF is specially designed to protect your tan while enjoying the outdoors.

    Use Phydraluxe and a good razor to shave your legs. Shaving will inevitably fade your color, so the use of a tan-extending moisturizer is highly recommended. Don’t rush!
