Before your tan
If you have a sensitive skin condition, please notify the technician before the spray tanning application.
Clothing during your spray tanning session:
You may wear your bathing suit or your birthday suit. It is your preference on what kind of tan lines you want or if you want any tan lines at all.
*IST offers a very discreet, confidential and professional experience during your spray tanning application.
After care for your tan
To ensure a long and beautiful tan avoid contact with water for at least the first 8 hours unless you are using the rapid tan technique which you should wash the tan off between 2 -4 hours. (2 hours for light, 3 hours for medium or 4 hours for a dark tan).
After your tanning session we recommend that you wear clothing that is darker in color before your post tan shower. The cosmetic bronzer that is applied may rub off on your clothing but should be easily washed out. Nylon, silk, spandex and wool tend to absorb the bronzer so please avoid these fabrics.
Avoid bar soap especially Dove and the like. Use a mild body wash to extend the life of the tan.
After showering apply a great moisturizer each and every day. This is essential as it will enhance the longevity of the tan.
Avoid exfoliants, hot showers and jacuzzi soaks. Excessive swimming and perspiration can fade your tan faster.
Make sure to always use sunscreen. Your spray tan is not a sun protectant.
Your tan can last between 7-10 days depending on your before and aftercare.
The better prepared your skin is for the spray tan and cared for after will determine the longevity and quality of the tan.
