As Your Spray Tan Develops

After Your Spray Tan Has Developed
o Take a warm shower. Do not use bar soap, we recommend a clear shower gel.
o To avoid stripping the color away from your tan, refrain from products with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). Do not rub with a towel, pat dry only.
o Keep in mind that swimming will enhance fading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it last?
A: Your application can last up to 14 days depending on your after care.
Q: What should I wear to my appointment?
A: Being that the bronzer can stain clothing, it’s suggested that you wear loose dark clothing. Also, you don’t want anything fitting that can alter your tan.
Q: How long should I wait to shower after getting my spray tan?
A: With our SOUL solution it is recommended that you wait 8-10 hours before showering. However, we do offer a GLOW ultra-dark solution which develops rapidly that allows you to shower in as little as 2-5 hours. For heightened results, extend past your suggested shower time.
Q: How dark/light will my spray tan be?
A: You can go as light or as dark as you want with SOUL Glow Tanning as we have different levels of spray tans. Please reference the pricing menu to see the different options including ad-ons.
Q: What should I wear during the actual service?
A: At SOUL Glow Tanning we pride ourselves with your comfort and satisfaction. Your comfortability is extremely important to us. Therefore, wear what’s best for you. We do offer disposable underwear and tube tops. If you choose to wear your own swim suit or under garments, make sure you don’t mind getting the solution on them. We can have a brief consult upon your arrival regarding what you are looking to achieve, and whether or not you want tan lines.
Q: What kind of moisturizer should I use after my tan?
A: Make sure you apply moisturizer only AFTER the first shower. Applying beforehand will cause streaking. We recommend using the Infinity Sun’s Hydrating Skin Extender. Not only is it specifically for your tan, it’s a moisturizer and extender in one. This will prolong your tan. Please do not use lotions that contain mineral oils.
Q: Can I proceed with my daily skin regiment after my tan?
A: Yes! Please wait the recommended 8-10 hours before you wash your face, or 3-5 for the GLOW application. Please proceed with your daily routine. Keep in mind that your face will fade faster than the rest of your body, depending on the products you use.
Q: When should I get a manicure and pedicure?
A: It’s suggested that you get your spa treatments done 24-48 hours BEFORE your spray tan. It is essential for you to follow these rules for an even spray tan. Not doing so will result in removal of your tan.
Q: What products should I use to shave after a spray tan?
A: You want to give your pores time to close before your spray tan. Please make sure to shave the day before your appointment. After your spray tan, use a brand new razor. Again, be mindful of the ingredients in your product. It’s recommended to use conditioner or shower gel to shave. Don’t shave too often and easy on the pressure.
