After Care for Spray Tanning

Do’s and Do Not’s for a Beautiful Tan

1. Have dark colored, loose clothing to change into after

your spray tan session.

2. Do not shower, or get wet for 5-7 hours following your

appointment.

For Express Tan, allow 2-4 hours before showering.

3. Be sure to THOROUGHLY shower, the first shower to be

sure all the bronzer is washed off the skin. If you do a

“quick rinse” this could result in streaking from the water

not evenly washing all the bronzer off the skin.

4. Be patient after showering, the color may appear

slightly lighter after the first shower, but will continue to

darken the following 12-hours post shower. The solution

is still in the pores of the skin and will continue to oxidize

to a more noticeable color.

5. After your first shower, moisturize using a paraben-free

lotion at least twice daily for a minimum of 1 week.

Keeping moisturized ensures an even, flawless fade.

The tan extender moisturizer sold at Blow Out! Beauty & Dry Bar is recommend.

6. Avoid chlorinated jacuzzis, saunas and steam rooms,

hot yoga or intense workouts.

7. Limit the amount of intense physical activity for a longer lasting tan.

8. Taking cool, short showers and avoiding hot baths are recommended.

9. Avoid using scrubs and fragrance body wash.

10. Apply an oil-free sunscreen before sun exposure. NEVER use an aerosol spray sunscreen on top of your spray tan. They contain a lot of alcohol and chemicals which strip the tan. Keep in mind, spray tanning solution does not contain UV protection.
