PRODUCTS TO AVOID

Please refrain from the following products as they are known to fade and ruin a sunless tan:

  • Loofahs, bar soaps, washcloths, baby oil, mineral oil, massage oils, bug sprays (spray in a cloud or on clothes), anti aging products that exfoliate, Dove products (creates skin barriers and your tan will not take), alcohol or witch hazel (in high amounts) based toners, astringents (cleansing agents). Any products containing Sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, petroleum or mineral oils, AHA or Alpha Hydroxy, BHA products Beta Hydroxy, RETIN, Accutane, Lactic, Glycolic, and Salicylic acids can cause issues.

  • Avoid long swims in pools and oceans as chlorine and salt water can cause fading (bromine can cause fading). If you are planning to be in the water while you have your tan, I recommend a tan extender directly after water exposure.

  • A spray tan does not protect you from the sun, so make sure you use a sunscreen. I personally use one designed for airbrush tan protection, as many sunscreens contain ingredients that can strip your tan. Please consult with me if you are not sure if a product is safe for your tan.

  • Some antibiotics and medications as well as woman menstrual cycles and hormones can affect the tan as well.

  • Curel lotion can affect a sunless tan.

  • Avoid spraying perfume directly on skin.

  • Poor preparation will result in a poor tan.

    Remember, that the spray tan is on the outer layer of the skin, anything that exfoliates will remove the tan.

WE ARE HAPPY TO ADVISE AND RECOMMEND SPECIFIC PRODUCTS DURING YOUR SESSION.

WATER-PROOF SUNSCREEN - Spray tans do not protect from UV exposure so it is vital that you still use a natural, water-proof sunscreen.
