To ensure your tan develops flawlessly, please follow these guidelines:
Before Your Appointment: Come in whatever is comfortable, but ensure your skin is completely clean and free of lotion, deodorant, and perfume.
After Your Appointment: Put on loose, dark clothing—ideally a long-sleeve shirt and long pants—and slip-on shoes (like flip-flops). Strictly avoid jeans, leggings, bras, socks, and tight waistbands, as these will rub your skin and cause streaks.

Classic tan — wait 8 to 12 hours before your first rinse.
Rapid tan — rinse time depends on how deep you want to go:
Light — 1–2 hours
Medium — 3–4 hours
Dark — 4–5 hours
We will discuss rinse time during your appointment, as leaving express tans on too long can cause an unnatural, overdeveloped color.
Your first rinse is water only — no soap, no scrubbing. Just let it run off. Keep in mind your color will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after your first rinse, so don't panic if it looks lighter right after — it's not done yet.
The First Soap Shower: Wait 16 to 24 hours after your first rinse before using soap.

Your tan typically lasts 5–10 days. The exact lifespan depends heavily on your skin type, how well you prep, and your daily aftercare routine.
Factors That Shorten a Tan
✖️ Frequent Swimming: Chlorine and saltwater strip the tan.
✖️ Long Hot Showers: Hot water accelerates skin shedding.
✖️ Heavy Sweating: Intense workouts can cause premature fading.
✖️ Harsh Skincare: Retinols, AHAs, BHAs, and acne treatments dissolve the color.
How to Make It Last Longer
✔️Moisturize Daily: Apply an oil-free moisturizer twice a day.
✔️Pat Dry: Always pat your skin gently with a towel after showering.
✔️Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep skin cells plump.
✔️Use Gentle Soap: Wash with sulfate-free, mild body washes.

DHA, the active ingredient in spray tan solution, works only on the outer layer of the skin, and the formulas used are non-toxic.
There is currently no evidence that DHA is harmful. However, every pregnancy is different, so we recommend consulting your doctor if you have any concerns.

Rapid tan — You can ease back into light activity after your first rinse at 1–5 hours. Wear loose, breathable clothing, avoid excessive sweating, and shower immediately after to remove sweat before it causes patchiness.
Classic tan — Wait until after your first rinse at 8–12 hours before any activity. The same rules apply — keep it light, wear breathable clothing, and shower right after.
Regardless of which service you book, avoid high intensity workouts that cause heavy sweating for the full 24 hours to protect your color.

The solution is quick-drying and transfer-resistant, but we recommend:
