know before you go

  • Please come to your appointment without any makeup and do your morning skincare as per usual.

    It is best to do a light exfoliation 48 hours in advance, and a hydrating mask the night before.

  • BEFORE

    What to wear:

    Wear dark, loose clothing - no leggings!

    You can spray tan completely nude (popular when going on a beach vacation), in a bikini, or just undies (most popular). They will not stain - the solution is water soluble, but wear a dark color any way!

    Body care:

    Wax 24 hours in advance or shave 12 hours before your session to avoid darkened pores.

    Exfoliate your entire body thoroughly the night before your spray tan. Using a loofah with body wash is not enough. Use a body scrub and exfoliating mitt (available to purchase in-stldio).

    Do not apply any creams or lotion to your face or body for at least 8 hours prior to your appointment.

    Ensure you do not have any leftover spray tan from your previous session.

    AFTER

    Rinsing it off:

    You will have to avoid moisture & water until your given rinse time (standard spray tan: 8-16 hours, express spray tan: 1-4 hours).

    Your first rinse will be in lukewarm water with no soap; Rinse quickly until the water runs clear. The next day you can use soap as per usual.

    Aftercare tips:

    Moisturize day & night to keep your spray tan from patching.

    Use gel-textured & fragrance-free soap (avoid DOVE soap at all costs). Post-tan shower cleansers & body butters available for purchase in-studio.

    Avoid exfoliating until the tan has heavily faded. Use a loofah to blend problems areas and avoid pre-mature scrubbing.

  • Before your scheduled facial, DO NOT:

    • wear makeup to your facial.

    • make changes to your skincare routine 1-2 weeks prior to your facial.

    • shave or wax any areas of the face (brows, upper lip, etc.) to avoid sensitivity.

    • use any at-home intensive treatments such as face masks, peels, or other, 1-2 weeks prior to your facial.

    • apply retinoids, or other resurfacing skincare products that can cause sensitivity, up to a week in before your facial.

  • Avoid wearing makeup to your appointment!

    If you use a lash or brow serum, refrain from using it 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment.

  • Be prepared to discuss aspects of your life you may not associate with your physical health, such as diet, sleep habits, stress level, work and social life.
