After The Tan

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP AFTER YOUR TAN IS THE SHOWER PROCESS

We only use RAPID TAN SOLUTIONS:

QUICK RINSING is mandatory to avoid over processing.

**We recommend a Quick Rinse 3-Hours after your appointment.

**Your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours, however it is safe to take a regular shower, washing hair and body 8 hours after your Quick Rinse.

**You will want to use paraben-free and sulfate-free skincare products.  Look for Hempz and Native Brands.

Why Sulfates are "Tan Killers"

Sulfates are harsh detergents (like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) used in soaps and shampoos to create lather. 

  • Stripping Effect: They are designed to cut through grease and oil, but on a spray tan, they act as a "cleaner" that washes away the DHA (the tanning active). 

  • Dehydration: Sulfates strip natural oils, drying out the skin. Since a spray tan sits in the top layer of dead skin, dry skin will flake off faster, taking your tan with it.
