Organic Airbush Tanning 

What to do before, during, and after your organic airbrush appointment at Sugar Lips Inc.

The Day Before Your Appointment

SHOWER & EXFOLIATE

Shower and exfoliate your face and body. Ideally, this should be done a minimum of 6 hours before your spray tan. We suggest using a loofah or a dry brush.

HAIR REMOVAL

For best results, please sugar, wax or shave at least one day before your spray tanning session.

SKIP THE MOISTURIZER

It is best to not use oil-based exfoliates or lotions prior as they can block the tanning process, leaving a residue between your skin and the tanning solution.

The day of your appointment and what to expect

WEAR DARK CLOTHING

Wear dark loose fitting clothing after the session if possible. It is best not to wear white for your spray tanning session.

 

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING

Tan Lines… do you want them and where? During the tanning process, you may choose to have no tanlines by being nude for your appointment. We deal in bodies day in and out so its nothing we haven’t seen! If you choose to have tan lines from a top and/or bottom, please wear dark items on these areas remembering that any area covered will not be tanned.

 

Your palms, feet, lips, cuticles, and elbows will be carefully prepped with organic barrier lotions and oils to prevent any unnatural colouring. As you are being spray tanned, you’ll be instructe

After your appointment

DON’T GET WET (NOT EVEN SWEAT)

For the first 12 hours after your spray tan avoid any activity that would result in getting wet or sweaty. No working out, no dishes, no moisture!

 

WEAR DARK PYJAMAS

Wear loose, dark clothing to bed. The bronzer may rub off on your bedding and clothing, however, nothing will stain. Maximum spray tan results can be expected when you let your tan develop for a full 24 hours

 

DO NOT SHOWER

Do not shower for at least 12 hours. During this time scrub your palms only when washing your hands. Do not rest your fingertips on your face or body, and limit skin-to-skin physical contact with others to avoid colour transfer.

Extra tips

USE A SAFE BODY WASH

Avoid soaps and body washes containing drying ingredients like fragrance and alcohol.

 

DONT SPRAY ON SKIN

Spray perfumes, bug sprays, etc on your clothing instead of directly on your skin.

 

MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN

Moisturize twice a day with a alcohol-free, paraben-free lotion. Use SunnaTan skin care products to help extend the life of your spray tan.

 

USE SUN SCREEN

Your spray tan tan does not protect you from the sun. Please use an alcohol-free sunscreen.

 

USE TAN EXTENDORS

Use SunnaTan easy to use sunless tanning extenders to prolong the length of your tan, or use them on their own for a DIY glow.

 

TAN FADING? EXFOLIATE!

When your tan is beginning to fade, use our SunnaTan Exfoliating Mitt to help even out your skin tone and prep for your next airbrush tan.
