Post-Tan Instructions
Immediately after your tan
• Wipe off the palms of your hands and the bottoms of your feet with a baby wipe (supplied for you). • Stay in spray booth for an additional 30 seconds to allow your tan to finish drying. • Wait at least 2 minutes before getting dressed. • Place a towel over your driver’s seat for your car ride home. Up to 24 Hours after your Spray Tan (Post-Tan Care) • Avoid showering and any activity that would cause sweating (exercise, cleaning...) as your spray tan is developing during these hours. Contact with water or sweat could result in lines or uneven tanning. • If you choose to sleep in your airbrush tan so that it darkens overnight, please cover your bed with dark sheets and pillowcases so that any bronzer does not stain your regular sheets. • Rapid Tans Only : If you requested the rapid tan solution (Convenience Tan), please shower with only water between 1-4 hours following your appointment (4 hours will develop a darker tan). No hot water. Tan continues developing up to 24hours after rinsing. Do not apply any moisturizer until after the 24hr mark After at least 16 hours/next day after your tan • Ideally, shower with only water for the first shower after your spray tan (prevents premature removal of tan) • At the very most, wash with mild, moisturizing shower gel. No hot water. • Some color (only temporary instant bronzer) will wash away from your skin. Bronzer is used to give immediate tan results & to guide technicians with solution application. Your developed tan is still there. • Pat your skin dry/do not rub • Generously apply Norvell Prolong Moisturizer in the am and pm daily |
