Spray Tan Preparation and Maintenance
- Before your spray tan, exfoliate with South Seas ® Bora Bora Body Polish.
- Remove Make Up before your session.
- Bring a dark swimsuit or undergarment(s) to your session. Thongs acceptable.
- Bring Flip Flops/Sandals to your session.
- Wear dark, loose fitting clothing to your session. The cosmetic bronzer may rub off on your clothing.
- After your tan, avoid swimming, showering or perspiring for at least 8 hours.
- Any waxing should be done prior to your spray tan.
- After showering, apply South Seas ® Moorea Moisterizer to hydrate your skin. Hydrated skin will prolong your spray tan.
- Time spent in hot tubs or swimming pools may shorten the duration of the tan.
- Two days after your tanning session, apply South Seas ® Tahitian Tan Extender to help prolong your tan.
- Use South Seas ® Tahitian Tan Mist to touch up your face, hands and feet.
Tanning Facts:
- The spray tan is evenly applied by a trained professional in less than 5 minutes.
- The spray tan will last a week to ten days.
- Your skin will not feel sticky and dries quickly.
- The tan will fade similar to that of a natural suntan.
- The primary active ingredient in all self tanners is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), produced from pure sugar cane, and is FDA approved for self tanning applications.
- When applied, DHA works with the amino acids in your skin to produce a natural looking tan without orange discoloration.
- There have not been any reported side effects from the use of DHA.
- If you have ever had an allergic reaction to self tanners, we recommend that you abstain from spray tanning.
