IMPORTANT

SENSITIVE SKIN​

 

​If you have concerns about having highly sensitive skin or if you are uncertain about how your skin will react to the tanning solution, I recommend performing a small local test spray prior to your first full tanning session. This test spray will help determine the compatibility of the solution with your skin and ensure a positive experience during your tanning appointment. Your safety and comfort are of utmost importance to me, and conducting a skin compatibility test can provide you with peace of mind before proceeding with the full session.

SUNSCREEN​

It's important to note that the Airbrush Tan solution does not include sunscreen. Therefore, it is crucial to apply sunscreen separately to protect your skin from sunburn when spending time outdoors. Even though the tan provides a bronzed appearance, it does not provide the same level of sun protection as sunscreen. Prioritizing sunscreen application will help safeguard your skin against harmful UV rays and ensure optimal sun protection while enjoying outdoor activities.

AFTER YOUR TANNING SESSION

To achieve the best and long-lasting tanning results, it's crucial to maintain proper skincare practices. Moisturizing your skin at least twice a day is highly recommended. I strongly advise using paraben-free moisturizers as they are gentle and nourishing for your skin. By keeping your skin moisturized, you can slow down the exfoliation process and maintain an even and flawless fade of your tan.

To extend the lifespan of your spray tan, it's important to avoid prolonged exposure to water. This includes taking long baths, spending excessive time in spas or swimming pools. Additionally, it's crucial to avoid using any products that may exfoliate your skin, as they can cause premature fading of your tan. It's also advisable to steer clear of chlorinated jacuzzis, saunas, and steam rooms, as they can impact the longevity of your spray tan. By following these recommendations, you can enjoy a beautiful, long-lasting tan.

  • After your tan is applied, it is important to allow it to dry completely. Rest assured, I will ensure that your application is dry before you leave the session. Due to the humidity in Cancun, it may take some time for the tan to fully dry.

  • For optimal tanning results, avoid getting your skin wet for at least 3-5 hours after the session. This will help maximize the effectiveness of the tanning solution.

  • To achieve the best results, I recommend showering the following morning. During your first shower, you may notice some brown staining in the water. This is normal and simply the bronzer washing off, revealing your beautifully tanned skin underneath.

  • When showering, it is advisable to pat yourself dry rather than rub, as this will help prolong the longevity of your tan.

  • Please refrain from waxing until your spray tan has completely faded. Additionally, avoid using a blunt razor, as it may adversely affect your tan.

  • By following these instructions, you can ensure that your tan lasts longer and maintains its optimal appearance.

PROLONG YOUR TAN

BEFORE YOUR TANNING SESSION

To ensure optimal results during your airbrush tanning session, it is essential to follow a few guidelines. Please refrain from applying moisturizer, makeup, or perfumes to your skin before your appointment, as these products can diminish the effectiveness of the tanning procedure.

In terms of hair removal, it is recommended to shave or remove body hair between 8 to 24 hours before your tanning appointment. If you prefer waxing, please ensure that it is done at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan session. Adhering to these guidelines will help to achieve the best possible outcome and ensure a flawless and long-lasting tan.

One of the crucial steps to prepare for your airbrush tanning session is to engage in thorough exfoliation of your entire body. I highly recommend using a good exfoliator, ideally the day prior to your appointment, for optimal results.

To achieve the best outcome, apply a small amount of the exfoliator onto an exfoliating glove or a damp washcloth. Gently but firmly rub the product over your skin while showering, ensuring to pay special attention to rough areas such as knees, elbows, ankles, and the tops of your feet and toes. By focusing on exfoliation, you create a smooth canvas for the airbrush tanning solution, resulting in an even and long-lasting tan.

To ensure a successful tanning session, it's important to wear appropriate attire to your appointment. For women, I recommend a dark bikini or thong, while men should opt for dark underwear or swimming trunks. Additionally, after your tanning session, it's advisable to wear dark and loose-fitting clothing.

While the solution I use typically washes out of most fabrics without any issues, there is a possibility of minor rub off. It's worth noting that some lighter-colored materials, including leather, may be susceptible to staining. By choosing dark clothing, you can minimize any potential staining concerns and confidently enjoy your tan without worry.
