Prep & After Care

Proper preparation is CRUCIAL to achieving the perfect tan!

​

*PLEASE AVOID USING PRODUCTS CONTAINING: mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates + alcohol denat in your ingredients list (DOVE, OLAY, DIAL, CARESS, SUAVE, IVORY, BATH & BODY WORKS, VICTORIA' SECRET ETC…..).

*These products create a barrier between your skin and the spray tan causing it to not develop correctly and/or not last as long.

* Body wash: Sulfate free & paraben free are key for long lasting results! The more natural the better.

​

• Any hair or nail maintenance needs to be done at least 24 hours BEFORE your appointment. Any waxing needs to be done 72 hours BEFORE your appointment.

• Plan your appointment 1-2 days prior to a vacation & 2-3 days prior to an event or photo shoot. Results last 7-10 days w/ proper care!

• 24-48hrs-Plan to shower, exfoliate (oil free products + avoid above listed soaps & lotions), shave & then lotion up ***DO NOT EXFOLIATE, SHAVE or APPLY PRODUCTS RIGHT BEFORE APPOINTMENT (DAY BEFORE PLEASE).   *Men: You do not have to shave body hair unless you normally do.

• If you're sunburnt, peeling from a sunburn, or have very dry skin from being sunburnt, unfortunately I cannot spray tan you. Always wear sunscreen & re-apply so you don't burn. If you do come to the appointment with any of the above issues, you will forfeit your deposit.

• Plan to remove any deodorant & makeup for best results (wipes available to remove if you applied after prep shower). A little light makeup on is OK! Please keep skincare to a minimal.

• If you have sun-tan lines you would like to fill in, please mention them beforehand.

• During your session, you may wear whatever you feel comfortable in (a disposable bra and thong will be provided for you). Topless or nude. Dark colored, strapless undergarments are recommended if you choose. Nothing lacy or mesh.  Men must wear bottoms. Keep in mind anywhere you have clothing will leave a healthy tan line. I recommend a panty-line for 1st timers!

• After application, you will need to plan to wear LOOSE, LONG, DARK clothing & slip on shoes- no bras, no straps or tight shoes, no yoga pants/leggings/tight waistbands or jeans. NOTHING TIGHT UNTIL YOUR 1ST SHOWER. Plan to chill after application as rubbing/skin on skin, moisture, sweat and tight clothing will cause flaws in your tan. TIP: When in doubt, blend it out. Think big T-shirts, loose cotton pants, flipflops or slippers. Plan to not get wet, sweaty or be very active for several hours if you are getting the OG (regular overnight solution). We provide a Rapid Rinse solution (Quickie or Ghosted) for our active clients (just ask!😉)

• If you’re unsure or have questions, please feel free to message or call me at 360-450-8720.

• Cancelation policy: I ask if you need to cancel you do so 24+hours prior to your appointment. Anything less than 24 hours will result in a forfeit of your $20.00 deposit. Let’s kindly respect each other’s time 🙂

•  All cards/ cash payments are accepted. 

• Results last 7-10 days with proper care.

  • Classic Tan: You can shower/rinse in 12 hours OR LONGER after application. (Best for clients who have sunspots, thyroid conditions or imbalanced hormones.)

  • Rapid Rinse or Clear Tan: PLAN, PLAN, PLAN! You MUST rinse typically 2-5ish hours after application. Results fully developed after 24hrs, but you will have a tan after your rinse. I will guide you to what color/shower time works best for your skin tone. (This option is fantastic for convenience!) The longer you leave it on the darker results get. For best results, plan to not leave on longer than instructed.

  • DO NOT hang out or sleep naked while processing. Stay covered-long, loose, big, flowy, baggy! This is important while processing! If there is rain in the forecast, please protect your skin.
