After Tanning Care
To make it last longer and stay even, follow the information below:
After getting your tan:
- It is advised not to use cleansers on your face as it will strip the tanning solution.
- Cover car seat as tan can stain them. Also, be careful that your seatbelt does not rub your skin.
- Don’t scratch your skin before is processes.
- Getting into a swimming pool will shorten the life of the tan.
- Don’t apply perfume, makeup, sunscreen or moisturizer until after your second shower.
- Toilet seats can pull the tan off of your skin, put toilet paper on the seat to avoid this.
- Also, ammonia from urine can remove your tan, so take care.
- If you sleep before your first shower, put a towel on your bed as solution may ruin your sheets, and we recommend wearing black loose fitting clothing to bed, but no socks.
When you have your first shower:
- Rinse with lukewarm water, not hot, for 1 to 2 minutes, just to get the bronzer off.
- Lightly rub your skin with bare hands in the shower.
- Don’t scrub your skin.
- Don’t use soap, shampoo, conditioner or moisturizer.
- Pat dry or air dry. Do not rub with a towel.
- It is normal for some bronzer to wash off on your first shower.
- Your tan will continue to process after your shower
When you have your second shower:
- If you shave use a new razor with hair conditioner to protect your skin.
- Use mild shower gel / soap. Do not use Dove soap or scented Bath and Body works soaps.
- Don’t scrub your skin.
- Pat with a towel or air dry.
- Moisturizer twice a day.
- If you use sunscreen, ensure it is waterproof. There are spray tan friendly sunscreens listed on the web.
