Pre & Post Care:

A Sunless Tan can last anywhere from 5-10 days depending on how you care for it. Follow these steps to get the most out your shade.

Before Your Appointment

Take a shower as normal an be careful to rinse off ALL of the shampoo and soap; also don't apply any deodorant, moisturizer, lotion, cream, or makeup before your spray tan.
Exfoliate with an oil free product! This is the most important aspect of your before- appointment regimen. By exfoliation, you are turning your skin into a clean slate for your tan consultant. Properly exfoliating with an oil-free product, like the 'Deep Clean Exfoliating' product that SoS offers, can increase the life of your tan by up to three days!
Schedule all regular hair removal, mani/pedis, massages and spa services at least one day before. Doing so after can cause tan to fade prematurely.
Wear that SPF! Sunburns and spray tans are a no-no.
What to Wear to your Appointment: All tanning solutions that SoS uses are oil-free, which means they will not stain your clothes, bedsheets, or your couch; however, we do suggest that you wear dark, loose clothing so that your clothing doesn't rub against the spray tan while it is setting.

Do not go swimming or work out during the 8 hours that your tan is setting to ensure that the tan is given enough time to properly develop.
For your first Shower: rinse only! Soaps and shampoos can lessen the quality of your spray tan. To be even safer; after your first rinse off, use the 'DHA-infused Shower Glow' that SoS offers to significantly prolong the life of your tan.
- The cosmetic bronzer will wash away in the water, as soon as the water runs clear you can get out, use only your hands to wash off solution.
- Pat dry and start moisturizing with a spray tan safe moisturizer.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize! A spray tan's worst enemy is dry skin; a spray tan's best friend is a moisturizer. SoS offers a 'Skin Glow Tan Extender' to keep your skin soft, supple and most importantly tanned for days longer!
Use a lotion SPF instead aerosol as it is high in alcohol and very drying.
When you’re ready to say goodbye to your tan simply exfoliate it off with an exfoliating mitt and book your next tan!

*Avoid Dove, Victoria Secret and Bath and Body Works products before and during your tan.*
