Aesthetics & Spray Tans by Vikki

Preparing for Your Spray Tan

• Please advise me if you are pregnant or have never used self-tanning products/had a spray tan as you may need a skin allergy test

• Shower, Exfoliate, and Shave at least 6 hours before your spray tan session for longer-lasting results.

• Ensure skin is clean and dry prior to session— NO moisturisers, oils, makeup, deodorant, or perfume. Although apply a small amount of moisturiser to any dry areas about an hour before tanning (hands, elbows, knees etc)

• Own underwear can be worn during your spray tan, although lighter materials may stain - disposable thongs can be provided.

• Tie long hair back (a cap will be provided). Take off jewellery.

• Waxing, facials, manicures, and pedicures must be done at least 24 hours prior to spray tan session.

Immediately After your Spray Tan

• Bring with you loose, dark clothing and weer for at least 8 hours whilst tan is developing (avoid tight fighting and light-coloured clothing, NO bra/leggings/socks)

• Avoid water and do not touch your tan with your hands or it will stain them.

• Wait at least 8 hours (2 to 4 hours for fast tan) before showering, exercise, or any activity that causes excessive perspiration (washing off earlier may affect the intensity of the tan)

• First shower after spray tan use water only (no soaps etc). Your colour guide will wash off but the DHA will have activated to create your long-term tan. Subsequent showers, you can shower as normal.

Maintaining Your Spray Tan

• Moisturise regularly

• Avoid long hot baths and showers

• Pat your skin dry after a bath or shower. Rubbing your skin may rub off your tan.

• Avoid swimming pools and salt water, as these can reduce your tan.

• Try to always have a fresh new razor for shaving.
