PREP PROCESS

☼ Shower, exfoliate, and remove body hair 24 hours prior to your tanning appointment.

☼ Shave at least the day before your appointment.  If you tan right after shaving, your pores are wide open and you may get little dots on your legs!

Please DO NOT shower right before appointment (within 4 hours of session). Avoid using any harsh products like (Dove, Bath and Body Works, etc)

☼ Skin should be clean and dry before being sprayed. If you have to shower the day of appointment, that is ok just don’t put any lotion on skin and make sure you aren’t showering too close to your appointment time (4 hours). Remove makeup & deodorant prior to appointment.

*We have makeup wipes should you need to use any!

☼ Wear loose clothing to your appointment (NO LEGGINGS). Shorts, t-shirt, maxi dress, sweats, nothing too tight. Wear loose shoes. You may spray tan in whatever you feel comfortable with. Many clients go nude, leave their underwear on or tan in swimsuits.

*We do have disposable thongs for clients

☼ IMPORTANT: Showering within 4 hours of your appointment can alter the color of your spray tan. All prep work should be done the day before your spray tan. DO NOT COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH WET HAIR!

☼ Schedule any nail, facial, waxing (24 hours or more) appointments prior to your session with Bronze515! Spray tanning should be last on your list of things to do! 

POST TAN PROCESS

☼ Do not shower for 8-12 hours after tan or 2-6 hours for rapid tan. Many people get spray tans at night so they can go right home and sleep and wake up and shower!​ Tans will continue to develop for the next 12-24 hours. 

☼ Use a moisturizer morning and night. The solution takes 24 hours to develop and will continue to develop after shower. 

☼ Pat dry after showering or bathing. DO NOT RUB.

☼ Use a sharp, clean razor with a lubricating product, when shaving. (Avoid hair removal products: Nair, Neet, wax, etc).

☼ Anti-acne products or makeup remover may cause tan to fade. Face & hands fade the quickest.

☼ Avoid DOVE products, bath and body works, Victoria secret. We carry several moisturizers that are spray tan friendly in studio.

☼ Avoid exfoliating scrubs, facial masks, and toners containing alcohol. Will strip tan quicker.

☼ Swimming in chlorinated pool or hot tub can cause tan to fade prematurely. Use an SPF that is oil-free (Sun Bum). Avoid long showers and baths this does make the tan fade quicker.

 ☼ Your tan should last anywhere from 5-10 days. Everyones skin is different. Longevity will depend on your skin and after care.

☼ We recommend Hempz or a lotion similar to these products.  Think natural and safe.  You can purchase Hempz lotion at our studio.
