How long does a Spray Tan last?

A spray tan should last 7-10 days as long as its maintained correctly. I advise to exfoliate prior to your tan, this will help remove all dead skin cells from the body helping the tan develop to the new skins cells which will make the tan last. Also I advise NOT to use products that contains any oils, as oils will break down the the tan.  

What should I wear?

For the tan its self I will provide paper knickers or if you choose you could wear your own underwear or bikini. After the spray tan treatment  I recommend to wear loose dark clothing until the tan is washed off, this will help protect your tan while its developing.

Will I still tan in the sun on holiday?

Yes, you will still tan in the sun. I must advise that is still important to wear an SPF protect your self from sun damage.

Whats the aftercare advise for a spray tan?

Before: 

• Do not use any tanning products 1 week before treatment.

• wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to treatment

• on the day of your spray tan treatment DO NOT wear any make-up, deodorant, perfume, body oils or lotions as these may react with the tanning agents in the tanning solution 

• Wear loose dark clothing, sandals or flip flops  

After:

• Wear loose, dark clothing.

• keep skin completely dry, avoid water contact.

• Do not apply any products over the developing tan.

• Allow tan to develop for at least 8 hours.

• Avoid other beauty/hair treatments whilst tan is developing.

• Avoid activities that make you sweat.

• Drink hot beverages from a straw as contact with a hot cup can strip color from around your month, tooth paste will also strip your tan as it develops. 

• After your tan has developed, rinse off remaining guide color with warm/hot water. once the water runs clear gently wash yourself with mild soap.

• Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's) as they can strip color

• Avoid swimming pools as Chlorine will prematurely fade your tan.

• To prolong your tan use Fake Bake Smoothie Oil Daily, to lock in colour. This will also hydrate your skin.
