Getting ready for a airbrush tan

1. Shower and exfoliate skin a minimum of one hour before tanning. Exfoliation will help remove dead skin cells, which don’t tan.
2. Shave and wax at least one hour before tanning. Never Tan if you have broken skin
3. Remove makeup, perfume, lotion, etc., and make sure that your skin is completely dry before tanning.
4. Don’t use moisturizers, body oils, lotions, or perfume for at least four hours before airbrush tanning. Remove before tanning.
5. Wear loose-fitting clothing for at least 30 minutes before tanning so that your skin is not constricted or crushed. (This will eliminate bra and panty tan lines.)

Post-tanning suggestions

1. Allow 5–30 minutes for the tanning solution to set before dressing.
2. Wait 8–14 hours after your tan before showering, exercising/sweating or coming into contact with water.
3. Apply moisturizer during the morning and evening after your first shower following your first tanning session. Allow 8–14 hours for the tanning solution to tan your skin before showering for best results. Moisturize daily thereafter. Hydrated skin is essential in maintaining a longer lasting tan.

Maintenance Tan

1. Tan as often as you like. We generally recommend that you tan no sooner than 48 hours between sessions for best results. Your skin needs 6–48 hours to fully deepen.
2. We recommend 1/4 to 1/3 bottle for a typical routine maintenance tan (3–4 full body maintenance tans per bottle). Amount can be adjusted more or less depending on your desired look and body size.
3. Spot tan legs, arms, chest or desired body segments as often as you like. You will soon discover your own results as you vary the quantity of tanning solution used during each application.
