What should I do before my spray tan?
Exfoliate 24 hours before your spray tan using a basic loofah or washcloth. Avoid heavy exfoliating oils. After showering, do not apply lotions, oils, or perfumes. Shave 12 hours before your spray tan to avoid streaks from shaving bar wax. Complete manicures, pedicures, and waxing before your spray tan. Wear loose-fitting clothes after your spray tan.
How should I rinse after my spray tan?
Use no soap. A slow rinse with lukewarm water is ideal. Use your hands to remove the bronzer, especially on your legs and behind your arms. Improper rinsing of the bronzer is the main cause of streaks and can stain the skin for a few days.
What if I have streaks after showering?
Shower again for another rinse. If that doesn’t work, use rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to remove the streak. Be aware it will also remove the tan in the area, and you may need to respray.
When can I apply lotion after my spray tan?
Wait 12 hours after your initial rinse to apply lotion. CeraVe is a recommended brand. Moisturizing twice daily prolongs your spray tan, and staying hydrated is essential.

Wait 24 hours for full development. If it’s still not dark enough, you can respray.
