Tips before and during the treatment & aftercare

When getting ready for a spray tan treatment, there are some important things to keep in mind to achieve the best results. Here are some tips to help you prepare your skin for a beautiful, natural-looking complexion.

Clothing and accessories before the treatment

Be sure to wear loose-fitting clothing during the treatment, preferably in a dark color. After a wash, the clothes will be clean again. It is also important not to wear jewelry that can damage the spraytan. Piercings and other non-removable accessories can be left on, but this is at your own risk.

Skin care before the treatment

Before undergoing the spray tan, it is important to take care of your skin by exfoliating, shaving or waxing. Try to do this preferably one day before the treatment. There are also exfoliating wipes available that have the same effect as an exfoliation treatment. Unfortunately, we strongly discourage the use of a spray tan if you have skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema or are taking special medication.

Aftercare for the treatment

To prolong the lifespan of your spray tan, it is important to follow some instructions after treatment. For the first 8 hours after treatment, try to keep yourself somewhat relaxed and avoid showering, bathing, swimming and exercising. This is because the treatment development time is 8 hours. Long exposure to water will cause your complexion to fade faster. Also, wear loose dark clothing for the first 8 hours after treatment and moisturize your tanned skin twice a day with the Tans Best Friend Moisturizer. This belongs to our range of products. After showering or bathing, gently pat the skin dry and avoid using a coarse towel.
