How long do airbrush tans last?
Airbrush tans can last anywhere from 7-14 days, but on average they last about 10 days. The tan resides in your outer layer of skin so the more your skin exfoliates the faster it wears off. Activities such as showering, swimming, exercising and of course exfoliating makes your tan wear off faster!
How can I make my tan last longer?
Exfoliating prior to the tan is the main way to make your tan last longer. The more dead skin you shed just before you get spray tanned the deeper the tan can penetrate. Extra exfoliating a day or two prior can help it last even longer. If possible avoid showering, hot tubs and exercising until the following day. After that day keeping your skin oiled/moisturized is also extremely important. You should apply oil/lotion twice daily. Other pre and post tanning tips will be advised once you book your tan.
How long does it take to get my airbrush tan?
Plan on a 30 minute appointment. The actual amount of time it takes to spray an entire body takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
How do I prepare before my airbrush tan?
• Do not wear make-up, lotion, or deodorant before your spray tan.
• Also avoid a self tan product before your spray tan if you can.
• If possible, shower 2–4 hours prior to your tan. You need enzymes on your skin to interact with the tanning solution. If you follow this rule, your tan will last longer and be the color you want.
• After showering, rub your body dry with a towel for a little bit of extra exfoliation.
• Exfoliate 8 to 24 hours before your spray tan for the best outcome. Use an exfoliation glove or a wash cloth and a paraben free soap.
• Your legs should be shaved 8 to 24 hours before your tan. If less than 8-24 hours, please shave and follow with a cold rinse to close the pores.
• If you’d like to wax and have a manicure and pedicure, do so before your spray tan session.
• Be sure to not leave anything on your skin. This includes soap residue, shaving cream residue, lotion, body oil, and sunscreen. If you have fresh, clean, clear skin, your spray tan is going to absorb better and last longer.
• Wear very loose, dark clothing to your spray tan appointment. Avoid putting on a bra right after your session, while your spray tan is still developing. Loose swimsuit cover-ups, sundresses, large T-shirts, and drawstring shorts or pants are perfect choices. Yoga pants or tight clothes will rub against your new spray tan, so leave the form-fitting clothes at home.
• Women may undress to their comfort level. Men must wear swimsuit, boxers or briefs.
