Prepare for your visit

Is this for your wedding? For best results a practice session is required at least 10 days prior to the final service.


Before Airbrush:

Services such as facials or manicures are best done before as the lotions and oils can create a barrier and keep the tan from absorbing evenly.

We do not want to create any kind of a barrier for proper absorption. Shave legs the day prior to your tan as well as heavy shaving creams can create skin barriers


Preparation:

Exfoliate your skin before your appointment

Use an aggressive exfoliator like exfoliating gloves

Make sure your skin is clean and dry

Avoid using lotion or oil on your skin


Clothing:

Wear loose, dark colored clothing after your tan

The more covered up you are, the safer your tan will be

Choose loose pants and a loose t-shirt over short shorts and a tank top.


During your visit

For your airbrush tan, you can undress to your level of comfort. Keep in mind that whatever you leave on will create a tan line, so consider what you'll be wearing for your event. Some clients choose to wear a bathing suit, while others prefer to go nude. Please note that the FDA requires that male genitals remain covered during the tan application. If you have any concerns about this, please let me know.

After Care

Our rapid rinse solution typically requires 1-3 hours of processing time, durring this time it's important to stay cool and dry. Different processing times can result in different color tones. We'll discuss what processing time is appropriate for your specific needs. After the allotted processing time, you should shower and rinse off any extra color. It's normal to see some color rinsing off, and your tan will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. Your final results will be visible the day after your tanning session. Be gentle but thorough when showering, and rinse well with light soap if needed. Follow up with a good moisturizer. On average, our tans last 7-10 days, with the first few days being the brightest.
