Pre & Post Tan Care
- Use a pH-balancing scrub and cleanser, such as our Renewing Sunless Exfoliator.
- Avoid all bar soaps, high pH shower products, or in-shower moisturizers. These products can neutralize the DHA bronzing reaction, and cause a film on your skin.
- Discontinue the use of any bar soaps, DOVE or DIAL products. These will disrupt the pH balance of your skin and result in an uneven tan, patchiness and sometimes orange results.
- Make sure all manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials and massages are done at least the day before your Bronzed appointment. The oils used during these services will create a barrier between your skin and the Bronzed application, and will result in an uneven spray tan.

- Change into a loose fitting top and bottom, no bras or tight clothing. Sweatpants, robes, pajamas, flip flops and/or loose t-shirts are best! Avoid tight clothing or clothing that allows your skin to touch skin. This will result in double processing of your Bronze.
- Leave solution on your skin for 3-4 hours unless instructed otherwise. Body Wash & Tan Extend after 24 hours..
- In the first warm water rinse, completely remove all cosmetic bronzers with water and hands only. Make sure the water rinses clear.
- Do not use any products on your skin for 24 hours after your tan. All solutions will reach final development at 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, keep your skin hydrated and moisturized daily with Tan Extend. Stay away from mineral oil, AHAs, petroleum, ethanol, exfoliating and alcohol based products as these will strip your tan faster.
- Keep in mind, the act of soaking and scrubbing during any nail treatments will remove the tan on the legs and feet.
- Working out and/or sweating should be avoided during development period.
- Apply sunscreen, safe sun care is a must!
