Pre Spraytan

​

Exfoliation

The most important step for a spraytan treatment exfloliate your whole body including your face, 1 day (24 hours) before the spraytan treatment with an oil-free scrub to be well exfoliated. Your skin needs that time to recover from the exfoliation. Exfoliation ensures that your skin has a smoother coverage and better absorption of the spraytan liquid.

 

With exfoliation; pay extra attention to elbows, knees, heels, ankles and everything else areas of thicker or firmer skin. And don't forget to exfoliate between the toes and fingers and don't skip the navel.

​

Shave

The advice is to shave no later than one day(24hours) before the spraytan. So do not shave on the day itself, the skin is then too sensitive to the spraytan. The pores also need time to close, irregularities may arise and that is of course not the intention.

​

Waxing

You can do this up to 4 days before the spraytan, as the skin needs to recover.

​

Beauty Treatments

Be sure to take care of all your beauty treatments such as manicures, facials, massages  before your spraytan.

Getting these services done right after your spraytan appoinment is a sure way to rub your gorgeous glow right off.

​

Shower

Wash your hair before exfoliating for the last time. If you do it afterwards, the ingredients from the shampoo or conditioner adhere to your skin while rinsing and form a barrier.

​

Nails

You can paint your nails for a spraytan treatment. This also prevents absorption of liquid in it the nails. Don´t worry, we will put a barrier creme on your nails and cuticles anyhow.

​

On the day your spraytan / during the treatment

​

Make-Up/ Parfum

Do not use Make-up on the day of the spraytan. Foundation, powder, body lotion, cream, perfume and (excessive) deodorant on the day of the session should be avoided (barrier between the skin and the spraytan and deodorant you can make spraytan turn green or take care of white-spots).

​

Shower

You can shower up to 3 hours before a spray tan treatment with only warm water (no soaps). Your skin needs time to recover from a shower and the spraytan will stick better to a slightly acidic skin. 

If you must shower right before your appointment, please finish off with a cold rinse to close the pores.

​

Protection during the spraytan treatment

a hairnet will be provided, this will protect your hair. The palms, knees, elbows, heels and cuticles will be smeared with a barrier cream so that the spray does not leaves weird marks. The soles of your feet are protected with special "sticky-feets", a kind of paper slipper. 

During the spraytan treatment you can decide for yourself what you want to wear. Do you want a bikini /swimsuit or a special disposable string ( we will provide), then you can. But you can also be completely naked or topless. The choice is entirely yours. 

​

What to do during your "spraytan development time"

​

The development of the solution with standard treatments is at least 8-12 hours, this time is needed for the lotion to get its full color.

 

Clothes

The DHA in the spraytan which makes your skin colored needs time (minimum 8 - 12 hours) to absorb. Wear comfortable loose-fitting and dark clothing and no bra after your spraytan treatment. This way you minimize the chance of unevenness. Think, for example, of a dress or a loose-fitting jogging suit. Prefer not to wear tight socks. Preferably wear dark underwear, not your "prettiest set". Some stains on your clothes? No worries. All ingredients can be rinsed out. However, the chance there is a possibility that the lotions can soak in nylon or leather.

​

Showering, Bathing & Sweating

After the spraytan, wait at least 8 hours before exercising or taking a shower. It would be better not to go to the for the first 24 hours sauna, swimming or bathing. Give the spraytan time to fully absorb into your skin. The spraytan dries during application, but needs time to discolour the (dead) skin cells. Practicing a sport with a excessive transparency as followed, immediately after the spraytan is not recommended.

​

Perfume, Deodorant & Cream 

Wait at least 8 hours after the spraytan with body lotion, aftershave, perfume, deodorant or cream therapy.

​

Makeup

Wait at least 8 hours after the spraytan with make-up. lipstick, mascara and eye pencil are allowed well.

​

Shave/Wax

We advise not to shave or wax for at least 12 hours after a spraytan treatment. This has the same effect as a scrub on the skin.

​

Toilet

When sitting on the toilet directly after spraytan please line with a bit of toilet paper, this will help avoid staining the toilet seat along with the possibilty of pulling bronzer off your bum. Peeing in the shower; Don´t do it! The ammonia in your urine will cause your tan to streak with lines down your legs... Peeing in the shower is your business love but; it becomes ours when you ask us to fix de lines :-)

​

Jewelry

You can wear jewelry again at least 8 hours after the spraytan. If you do this earlier, it is possible you get stains or streaks.

​

Rain

If you have to go outside during the development of the solution and it is raining: do not forget to bring your umbrella.

​

What to do after the spraytan has developed

During the first shower some color may come off your body, No reason to panic, this is just excess lotion. This will not be at the expense of your tan. Shower with a mild natural shower gel (please avoid Dove). After showering or bathing; just pat your skin dry gently. Drying your skin by rubbing has an abrasive effect. This can make your tan disappear undesirably sooner. Bathing for a long time also make the complexion fade faster in the days after the treatment.

​

Hydrate

After the application time, it is important to moisturize your skin 2x daily, by lubricating regularly with a good moisturizing body lotion (no oil). This way you can keep the color as long as possible. Preferably use a Tan Extander, it contains the substance DHA and which helps extending your tan for a longer period.

​

Sun bathing

If you are going to sunbath after a spraytan treatment, PLEASE NOTE that a spraytan NOT provides protection against UV radiation. So always apply well sun pretecting cream when you go into the sun, ALWAYS.  The bronzer and DHA do not protect you from the sun in any way, even if your tan suggests otherwise.

 

Sports

Intensive practice of a sport with excessive perspiration as a result shortens the duration of a spraytan.

​

Repeating a spraytan

Usually the complexion will be present for an average of 7 days. Your upper skin cells renew on average of every 7 days. If the complexion has almost faded, you can use another spraytan treatment (6 days after the spraytan treatment) to build up a deeper color in which the complexion stays beautiful for longer. Regular spraytan treatment will help to deepen the color and extend the duration of the complexion. After every follow-up treatment it will results get a little better and stay longer, although this differs per skin type. All these precautions are necessary to have a beautiful, even and tan complexion guarantee. This way you will enjoy it the longest!

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: A Spraytan treatment is not possible for people with eczema, psoriasis and cuts and wounds. Spraytan is not recommended during a course of antibiotics and for pregnant women the first trimester.
