Post-Appointment

While your tan is developing, avoid water and any activities that will cause you to sweat. You should also do your best not to touch your body, to avoid discoloration on your hands.
It is recommended you allow a full 8 hours for your Signature Solution to develop and 2-4 hours for your Rapid Tan Solution to develop depending on how dark you are trying to be. Your first shower should be a body rinse until the water is completely clear to ensure the color guard is removed. If the color guard is not completely rinsed off, it can result in a streaky tan. Soap can be used in areas where needed. While shaving, you should be gentle on the skin. Pat the skin when drying, do not rub.
Please note that your tan will continue to develop after showering. It is very important you stay hydrated and moisturize twice a day to extend the life of your tan. You will want to avoid products/ingredients that can strip your tan such as mineral oil, fragrance, essential oils, anti-aging, and retinol. The best products/ingredients to keep your skin moistened include shea butter, coconut oil, fragrance-free, oil free, and aloe vera.
It is highly recommended you do not apply perfume directly onto the skin to avoid discoloration.
The longevity of your tan will also depend on how often you work out, shower and the exposure of chlorine or salt water on the skin. Sunscreen can be applied thicker than normal to help create a barrier between your tan and the water.
