PRE CARE/ PREP

  • Complete salon services (mani/pedi, facial, wax, eyelash extensions, massage) 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. A spray tan should be the final step in your beauty regime. 

  • Exfoliate, shave, and wax areas of your body you normally would 24 hours prior to your appointment.  

  • Exfoliate with scrub + washcloth, exfoliating mitt, and/or dry brush. Pay extra attention to areas that tend to be more on the dry side (knees, elbows, ankles, and feet). Use a rough, non oily scrub for best results. 

  • If you must shower before your appointment, please do so at least 2 hours prior, and end with a cold water rinse to close pores.

  • Come to your appointment with clean, product free skin- no makeup, perfume, lotion, or deodorant. 

  • Wear or bring dark, loose fitting clothing to your appointment (think comfy sweats, and oversized t-shirts!) 

  • Drink plenty of water- the more hydrated, the longer lasting your tan will be

  • Do not use cream-based soaps. This means absolutely no Dove products within 72 hours of your session (or after).

  • Please come prepared for weather conditions. Bring an umbrella and closed toed shoes if snow or rain is expected.

POST CARE/ MAINTENANCE

  • Do not get your tan wet or sweat during processing time (before your initial rinse). 

  • No Touching- If you touch your body while processing, this could result in stained palms

  • Standard Tans must rinse in 8-12 hours- If sleeping in the solution, wear long sleeves, long pants, and avoid skin on skin contact

  • Express Tans must rinse in 2-5 hours

  • During processing, do not touch solution with your palms

  • Rinse at your designated time/ time your spray tan artist gave you

  • Rinse in lukewarm water with no soap until the water runs clear. 

  • Always pat dry when getting out of the shower, pool, or ocean

  • Do not wax or exfoliate following your tan- Be mindful and gentle with your skin.

  • Moisturize twice daily (morning and night), and drink plenty of water.  Natural, fragrance free lotions are best. 

  • Avoid working out for the first 24 hours.

  • Wait 48 hours to get into chlorinated pools, or the ocean. 

  • If you are heading to the beach or pool, wear oil free sunblock and apply approximately 15 minutes before going into the pool, ocean, or jacuzzi. 

  • Avoid hot tubs and saunas

  • Avoid sweating to the best of your ability for the first 48 hours

  • Do not use Dove products, or harsh soaps. 

  • When shaving, we recommend using a new razor. Dull razors tend to wear away the tan faster.

  • No exfoliating until the tan is at the end of it's life. 

  • Feel free to let everyone know just how much you love your Aureum Tan, and send them our way. Thank you!
