why did my color wash off after my 1st rinse?
If you are doing a rapid tan PLEASE NOTE that it is normal to look like you have no color and for the tan to look like it came off after your first rinse., This is normal as you are just getting the convenience of rinsing off quick. Your full color can take up to 12 hours to fully develop and show up. But it will come back
Exfoliation is the most important step in preparing your skin. The day before your appointment, gently exfoliate your entire body using exfoliating gloves or a mitt. This removes dry, uneven skin cells and creates a smooth surface so your color develops seamlessly.
A few important notes:
Proper exfoliation is especially important in the Palm Beaches warm climate to help your spray tan last longer, fade evenly and maintain a natural longer lasting glow.
A few important notes:
- Avoid exfoliating scrubs that contain oils within 24 hours of your appointment. Oils can create a barrier on the skin that prevents the tanning solution from absorbing evenly.
- Oil-based scrubs are perfectly acceptable if used several days before your appointment.
- Pay attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, and the tops of hands.

when SHOULD I SHOWER ?
During Your Tan:
Women may wear whatever feels most comfortable — a swimsuit, thong, or nothing at all. Men are required to wear boxers, briefs, or shorts during the session.
Avoid tight elastic or strappy clothing that could leave lines.
What should I wear after a spray tan?
Wear loose, dark clothing — think oversized T-shirt, flowy dress, or joggers. Tight clothing, leggings, jeans, pants with elastic bottoms or tight bras will rub against the skin and effect color development.
What shoes should I wear after a spray tan?
Wear Flip-flops & avoid socks, slides, sneakers, or boots as they will rub the tan off the top of your feet.
Avoid carrying a purse with a shoulder strap right after tanning; it can leave a mark. If it’s raining, bring an umbrella and loose long sleeves and pants to protect your skin.
