Spray Tan prep Instructions

  1. Exfoliate your skin the day before your appointment. Remove any dead skin cells by exfoliating your entire body with a gentle scrub. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
  2. Shave or wax: Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment to allow your skin to recover and ensure an even tan application.
  3. Avoid moisturizers and oils: Skip using lotions, oils, or perfumes on the day of your appointment. These can create a barrier on your skin and prevent the tan from developing properly.
  4. Wear loose, dark clothing: Opt for loose, dark-colored clothing to wear after your tan to avoid rubbing off the solution.
  5. Avoid dove and bath and body works soaps and lotions. These contain ingredients that cause your tan to have a green tint (think the Hulk!) 

Following these simple spray tan prep instructions will help you achieve a flawless and long-lasting tan at Sunkissed Tanning Studio. Get ready to glow!

Post Spray Tan Instructions

  1. Wait before showering: Avoid showering or getting wet until after the rinse time on your card to allow the solution to fully develop on your skin.
  2. Wear loose clothing: Opt for loose, dark-colored clothing to avoid rubbing off the tan solution. Avoid tight clothing, bras, and socks if possible.
  3. Moisturize daily: Hydrate your skin by applying a gentle, oil-free moisturizer daily to prolong the life of your tan. This will help prevent dryness and flaking.
  4. Avoid sweating and swimming: Stay away from activities that can cause sweating or swimming for the first 24 hours after your spray tan. This will prevent the tan from streaking or fading prematurely.
  5. Pat dry after showering: When showering, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing to avoid rubbing off the tan.
  6. Avoid exfoliating: Skip exfoliating your skin for the first few days after your spray tan to help maintain its longevity. 

By following these simple after-spray tan care instructions, you can enjoy a flawless and long-lasting tan from Sunkissed Tanning Studio. Keep that radiant glow going strong!

Red Light Therapy

Red light and near red light therapy is a type of therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to bring about several health benefits. Red light therapy has been proven to improve skin quality, speed wound healing, stimulate hair growth, reduce chronic pain, and improve work out recovery times.

The frequency of use depends on your individual goals. We will consult with you and determine what is best depending on your goals.

UV Tanning

Overexposure to UV rays can be harmful. We recommend using tanning beds in moderation and always wearing protective eyewear.

In accordance with NY state law, a person may only have one UV tanning session in a 24 hour period. This does not include red light therapy, you may do both in one visit. 

You can wear everything or nothing at all!

Our recommendation is to  wear protective eyewear and covering your eyes to prevent damage.

Please do not use any lotions or oils that are not meant for UV tanning beds, such as baby oil.

In accordance with NY state law, a person must be 18 or older and provide state issued identification such as a drivers license.

Spray Tanning

The duration of your spray tan will depend on several factors like hormones, clothing, exposure to chlorine, and moisture of the skin but your tan should last from 7-10 days days.

The best time before an event is 24-48 hours before your tan. Brides should contact us asap for a consult! 

  • Loose-fitting clothing: Opt for items that won't rub against your skin and cause streaks. Think loose dresses, skirts, or jumpsuits.
  • Dark colors: Darker colors will help hide any transfer of the tanning solution.
  • Avoid tight clothing: Tight clothing can leave lines on your skin.
  • Open-toed shoes: Sandals or flip-flops will allow your feet to tan evenly.
  • Minimal accessories: Remove jewelry and any other accessories that could interfere with the tanning process.
Exfoliate 24-48 hours ahead of your appointment and shave the day before. 
 
Do not apply lotion unless skin is very dry.
 
Make sure all conditioner is rinsed off of your back. This can create a barrier for the solution.
 
Wear or bring loose fitting clothing.

Anyone can get a spray tan but clients under 16 must have a parent present.
