    Pre-Tan Care

    For optimum results & an evenly tanned body, please follow these instructions carefully before your session. Before and after care is the key to your flawless tan.

    Your spray tan should be the very last step in your beauty routine, period. Massages, waxing, mani/pedis, etc. should all occur a minimum of 12-24 hours before your spray tan appointment.

    Book your appointment 2-3 days before an event, and day before vacation for optimal results.

    SPRAY TAN ATTIRE

    Sun Mist Policy requires that both Men & Women wear an undergarment for your session. Underwear (thongs are ok), swimsuits, & shorts are all ok. Discrimination laws do not allow us to offer different rules that are gender specific. To help better protect our spray tan technicians, we have elected to not offer a fully nude service. Please contact us with any other questions.

    PREPARE YOUR SKIN
    • Refrain from using deodorants, make-up, perfumes, lotions, or any other products that act as a barrier and inhibit the solution from absorbing to your skin thus preventing the development of your tan. Please try to avoid coming in with excessive sweat.
    • If you have had a recent sunburn and are experiencing any peeling, wait until you are no longer peeling before spray tanning. Getting a spray tan while you are peeling may result in a splotchy unpleasant tan.
    • Shave all unwanted hair at least 24 hours prior with a new razor before you exfoliate for your session. Shave with a new razor.
      *Waxing is recommended at least 48 hours or more before your tan
    • Thorough exfoliation is vital to an even, long lasting, flawless tan. We recommend at least 4 hours before your appointment. This will give your pores time to close and avoid discoloration.
    • If you need to exfoliate right before your appointment, please finish off your shower with a cold rinse to close your pores.
    • To exfoliate, please use a water-based exfoliator or shower gel. Scrub with exfoliating gloves or wash cloth. Exfoliation gloves work wonders. If you already have a sunless tan on your skin, please scrub off completely before your session. We can’t spray on top of a fading tan.
    • DO NOT USE ANY OILS or LOTION after your shower.
    • Decide if you would like to use barrier cream for nails, palms and feet should you want to use it, but it is not necessary. If so, please ask your technician.
    PREPARE FOR THE WAY HOME
    • Be sure to wear loose fitting, dark clothing. Solution will wash off clothes & bed sheets in the wash.
    • DO NOT wear denim of any kind directly after session.
    • NO Jeans, NO Leggings, NO tight shirts or dresses.
    • NO underwire bras or sports bras.
    • For footwear, we find that non-leather flip flops are best (unless it’s raining). *We do have disposable sandals for your use if needed
    • If you have leather seats in your car, we recommend bringing a towel to sit on for your ride home.
    • Prepare for the weather as Florida weather is unpredictable – Please bring Long Pants, Long Sleeves & an Umbrella.

    Post-Tan Care

    With moderate care, your tan should last between 7-10 days. This depends on your after-care, your activities and skin type, just like a natural tan.

    • Rinse at the time your technician advises you to
    • Do NOT touch your tan and avoid skin-to-skin contact until after your first shower rinse.
    • No sweating, no exercising, no showering, and no getting wet until your set rinse time.
    • When rinsing, use warm water and a mild liquid soap to rinse of the cosmetic bronzer. Use your hands to lightly wash the bronzer until the water runs clear.
    • After your rinse, pat body dry and moisturize with a water-based moisturizer. NO MINERAL OIL. Moisturizing is key to a long-lasting tan. We recommend moisturizing every morning and night. * We sell a great tan extending lotion that will extend your tan up to 5 days!
    • If your tan looks light after your rinse, no worries – it takes a full 24 Hours to see the final result.
    • Pat dry for the remainder of your tan. No rubbing.
    • No shaving for at least 24 hours after your spray
    • All sunscreens must be water-based & OIL FREE to prevent streaking. We recommend Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Spray sunscreen & Sun Bum Water Resistant Sunscreen
    • When you are ready to get rid of your tan, use a gentle exfoliant or exfoliating gloves to create the perfect canvas for your next spray tan.
