How to prepare for your spray tan:

24 hours before

  1. Shave/wax to remove any unwanted body hair.
  2.  Exfoliate the entire body. Give special attention to elbows, knees, ankles, and any dry areas! 
  3. Moisturize to ensure your skin is healthy and ready for the tan!
  4. Be sure to hydrate as much as possible before and after your appointment! Hydrated skin keeps a tan longer!

4-6 hours before

  1. DO NOT apply deodorant, make up, perfume/cologne, moisturizers, or anything else that may create a barrier on your skin.
  2. Gather dark, loose clothes to put on after your spray is completed!

At Spray Appointment

  1. If you did apply any deodorant, make up, perfume/cologne, moisturizers, etc. remove it all before we begin.
  2. Pull hair back, away from the face and neck. 
  3. Remove any jewelry.
  4. Wear whatever you are comfortable in. Some wear nothing at all, while some choose to wear an old bikini or old bra/panty set!
  5. Follow all instructions the certified technician gives you! 

While tan is developing, before initial rinse

  1. Depending on the solution, you may have to wait 1-4 hours or 8-12 hours to do a light warm water rinse.
  2. In the meantime, avoid anything that will get your skin wet (exercise, rain, swimming, etc.). Sit back and relax!
  3. DO NOT apply any deodorant, make up, perfume/cologne, moisturizers, etc. This will cause your spray to come off!
  4. When it is time to rinse: Use lukewarm water ONLY! Do not use soaps or shampoos during initial rinse. 
  5. It is perfectly normal to see the instant cosmetic bronzer washing off you in your rinse. Trust the process!

NOTE: You will receive a spray tan maintenance card at check out with your initial rinse time and general spray tan care instructions.

After initial rinse

  1. 24 hours after your spray tan, you may begin to do full body showers with spray tan safe body wash. 
  2. Maintain your tan for 7-10 days with a spray tan safe moisturizer, or DHA tan extender. Use twice daily. (Use The Sandbar's own product line-Sandbar Sunless-to achieve best results!)
  3. After any activity that dries skin out (exercise, swimming, etc.) be sure to also moisturize!
  4. Protect your skin with a spray tan safe SPF daily and especially on vacation!
  5. Apply a DHA tan extender to areas that will lighten faster (face and areas more rubbed on surfaces). 
  6. Tan will naturally fade so you won't have harsh lines or streaks.

Remember!!

  • The better you take care of your skin and the more you moisturize the longer your tan will last! Results will vary, but most people get a good 7-10 days of color out of a spray tan!
  • It is ideal to regularly moisturize so your skin is continuously healthy and there is no damage that would effect the quality and duration of your spray!
  • Be sure to hydrate as much as possible before and after your appointment! Hydrated skin keeps a tan longer!
