Airbrush Tanning

Pre-Care Instructions:

​​

• 12-24 Hours Before:

  • Exfoliate: Use an oil-free scrub or exfoliating mitt.

  • Hair Removal: Shave or wax at least 12-24 hours prior to prevent solution from settling into open pores.

  • Beauty Treatments: Complete manicures, pedicures, and spa treatments before your session.

​​

• Day of Appointment:

  • Cleanse: Shower to remove any oils, sweat, or perfume.

  • Barrier Avoidance: Do not apply deodorant, perfume, body oils, or lotion, as these create a barrier that causes streaking and uneven color.

  • Skin Prep: Ensure skin is completely dry and clean.

​​

• What to Wear/Bring:

  • Clothing: Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing (like a cotton sundress or sweatpants) to avoid smudging the tan.

  • Undergarments: Wear loose, dark underwear or a swimsuit for the session.

  • Protection: Bring an umbrella if it might rain. 

​

 *Avoid using soap, oil-based products, or Dove products immediately before, as they can interfere with the tan's development.

 

 

 

Aftercare Instructions

​

Immediate Post-Tan (First 4-8 Hours)

• Stay Dry: Avoid water, sweating, showering, and swimming.

• Clothing: Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing to avoid friction and staining.

• Physical Activity: Skip heavy workouts to prevent sweat from streaking the, developer.

• Skin Contact: Avoid touching your skin or allowing skin-to-skin contact. 

• Be Bronze Studio +6                                                                                             

 

First Rinse (4-8 Hours Later) 

• Rinse Only: Take a quick, warm (not hot) shower to rinse off the bronzer, using only your hands.

• No Soap/Shampoo: Do not use soap during the first shower.

• Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a towel; do not rub. 

​

Long-Term Maintenance (Days 2–10)

• Moisturize: Apply Cetaphil moisturizer 1–2 times daily to keep the tan hydrated and prevent uneven fading.

• Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of mineral oil, petroleum, retinol, and AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids).

• Shaving/Exfoliating: Avoid shaving for at least 24 hours, and avoid exfoliating products or loofahs, which will remove the tan. Use hair conditioning for shaving.

• Chlorine/Saltwater: Limit time in pools and hot tubs, as chlorine can break down and fade the tan faster.
