during the cure...
depending on the product used, you will have a cure time that can vary from three hours to eight hours. you will be informed of your specific cure time at your appointment. for this period of time, please refrain from getting wet, sweating, wearing tight fitting clothing, and applying any lotions or liquids.
If your spray tan has a bronzer, or immediate color, do not sit on light colored seating or wearing light colored clothing until your cure time has passed and you have been able to shower off the bronzer.
Be cautious of any skin on skin contact during your cure time. This includes contact with others, and also areas that prolonged contact can result in an uneven tan, such as the inner elbow or the bend of the knee.
After your cure time has passed, you are free to shower with a moisturizing body wash or shower gel. During this initial shower, you will notice the bronzer washing away. This is normal and expected. We recommend using hair conditioner to use as a shaving lotion, and we suggest staying away from the following items, as they will prematurely fade your tan or cause them to fade unevenly:
- chlorine pools
- hot tubs
- full service pedicure tubs
- shaving cream
- hair removal cream or wax
- natural loofahs
- bar soap
- bandages with adhesive
- hair bleach products
- Intuition brand shavers
- body sprays/toners
we DO recommend:
- daily moisturizing
- gentle cleansing
