After your Tan Appointment

Follow the below instructions after your appointment to ensure the longest lasting tan.

1. Initial Rinse
   Follow the rinse time advised by your artist, typically between 2–8 hours post-application. Use lukewarm water only—no soap, shampoo, or conditioner—and rinse until the water runs clear.

2. Pat Dry
   Gently pat your skin dry with a towel; avoid rubbing to maintain the integrity of your tan.

3. Moisturize Daily
   After your first rinse, keep your skin hydrated with an oil-free moisturizer to prolong your tan's longevity.

4. Avoid Moisture and Sweat
   For the first 24 hours, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or expose your skin to water, such as workouts, swimming, or saunas.

5. Gentle Cleansing
   Use mild, oil-free cleansers for your face and body. Avoid exfoliating products, brushes, or harsh chemicals that can fade your tan prematurely.

6. Shaving and Waxing
   Refrain from waxing treated areas. If necessary, gentle shaving can be done occasionally, but be mindful to avoid irritation.

7. Protect Your Glow
   Limit exposure to chlorinated water, hot tubs, and long baths, as these can cause your tan to fade more quickly.
