Preperation & Maintenance
It is highly recommend that you exfoliate before your treatment as this will give a much better result and a more flawless spray tan. Check out my recipe for a quick and inexpensive exfoliator you can make at home:
- ¼ c. sea salt or sugar
- 2 t. honey
- 1 t. vanilla
If possible, Make sure and do any hair removal after you exfoliate and not before. The salt and or sugar can leave your skin irritated if you shave before exfoliating. Any hair removal should be done a couple of days before if possible to give your pores time to close. Skin should be free of all deodorant, moisturizers, perfumes and make- up before your tan. Clean freshly exfoliated skin with give the best long lasting results of your spray tan. Get all pedicures and manicures prior to your spray tan. Soaking of the skin after your spray tan will result in uneven fading in certain areas. It is advisable to wear flip flops after your spray tan appointment, to avoid any unnecessary lines on your feet.
- Follow the recommended rinse time discussed during your appointment. When it's time to rinse absolutely NO soap. Your first shower should be a slow, luke-warm shower to rinse off the excess solution. Only use your hands to remove the bronzer and focus your attention on your legs and under your arms. Pat your skin dry when finished.
- The #1 cause for streaking and blotchiness is that the bronzer was not rinsed off properly.
- Until you have rinsed, avoid working out, doing a lot of physical activity, swimming, going in hot tubs or saunas, and anything else having to do with water and sweating.
- Immediately following your tan, it is important to wear dark, loose fitting cotton clothing while your tan develops. Do not wear tight bra straps, sports bras, or tight shoes and socks while your tan is developing.
An August 2009 report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, reclassified tanning devices as a "definite carcinogen." Translation: Fake-baking definitely causes cancer, just like cigarettes do - and often at a much younger age. Not only that, if you start the skin-cooking habit before age 30, your risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest of the three forms of skin cancer, increases by an unbelievable 75 percent. Guess it’s no surprise that melanoma rates among young women have tripled since the 1970s. UV rays emitted by tanning booths are so concentrated that 20 minutes of exposure is equal to more than three hours outdoors in the sun.
