Our expert guide to the best glow!
Spray Tan Preparation
· Before your tan, exfoliate and shave 24 hours prior to your tan.
· Make sure your body is free of make-up, moisturizer, perfume and deodorant. These can act as a barrier block, causing the tan to look uneven.
Pro TIP: If you are booking a last minute Glow, you can purchase our exfoliant treatment if you need to remove any oils, lotions and deodorants.
· Please schedule your Glow appointment after manicures or pedicures. We do not recommend nail service other then polish changes after your airbrush appointment. Any soaking or scrubbing will remove the tan and cause unevenness.
· Wear dark loose clothes after your appointment. Most wear anything comfy that doesn’t leave impression marks on your skin. Avoid anything fitted. Denim will soak up your tan and cause unevenness. TIP: If you are booking a last minute appointment and are already wearing restricting clothes, pick up something loose to wear before your appointment. Sun Lounge offers a black airy robe for purchase to wear after you tan.
· During inclement weather please dress with long pants and long sleeve. Bring an umbrella! You cannot get wet or sweat after your airbrush tan, or up to 1-3 hours with our express tan.
Pro TIP: If you do not have the above items you can purchase a disposable plastic poncho at Sun Lounge.
After Tan Care
· After your "original sunless tan" session, we recommend waiting the recommended hours before your first post session shower. However, if you have to shower, make sure it's with warm neutral water and is close to or after the 12th hour mark. Note: There is no guarantee that your tan will reach its full peak color if removed earlier than 12 hours. Most tans require 24 hours for full results or the Rapid tans require 1-3 hours depending on the color result your wanting to achieve.
· After your "Rapid tan" session, you may shower 1-3 hours depending on how dark you would like to be. Leaving the solution on longer will make the tan become darker. Please make sure you do not keep our rapid solution on longer than 3 hours.
Pro TIP: The tan may take longer to develop in certain areas, so it is important to leave it on for the full recommended time. You will see the true color a few hours after your first shower. If you see any creases, marks or areas where the tan has rubbed off, DO NOT PANIC! EVER. This is just the color guide. This will even out after your first shower.
· The bronzer you see initially after the service is not your tan, it is a color guide. As your tan develops you may get darker in the 8-12 hour developing time. This is the solution developing underneath. After you first shower you will be the same color as your color guide when you left Sun Lounge.
· RULE #1: When showering, always rinse off your tan first, than you can proceed to wash your hair. If you do the opposite you'll possibly see streak looking marks going down your body. Your tan will look like it's crying.
· On your first shower, rinse off with plain warm neutral water only.
· RULE # 2: On Day 2 and after, shower using warm neutral water, soap very lightly during your showers. Do not scrub your skin until you are ready to remove your tan before your next application.
Pro TIP: Best to use a moisturizing soap when showering with a spray tan.
· Please avoid waxing after you tan, it will remove your tan.
· Moisturizing correctly will extend your tan and make it fade evenly.
Things to avoid
· Swimming and soaking in pools, hot tubs, and saltwater will dry out your skin and shorten the life of your tan.
· Always apply sun protection with your airbrush tan. It will protect your skin and your tan while your in the water.
· Avoid using any other self-tanning lotions, etc., over our spray tan.
· Do not use any types of body oils or spf oil sprays, makeup oil face wipes over your spray tan. The oil will diminish your tan, resulting in fading and removal.
· Important! Please do not expose your skin to water, sweating or working out while your airbrush is developing. Avoid holding cell phone to face. Speaker or Air Pods works best while developing.
