Post Spray Tanning Guide to Prolong Your Sunless Tan

Immediately following your spray tan application, avoid sweating. Avoid all activities that may cause you to sweat excessively and possibly cause streaking of the cosmetic bronzers. On a hot day use the air conditioning in your car. Remember, your skin has just been tinted with a water soluble solution. For maximum results, wait at least four hours before showering or bathing. Shower with plain water for the first sixteen hours after your session. Use of bar soaps and cleansers in that first 16 hours will halt the continued development of DHA color. After 16 hours we recommend using a mild pH balancing shower gel.
The day after your session and after your first shower, use a moisturizing lotion that contains a diluted amount of DHA. This lotion is specifically designed to keep your tan healthy and your skin moisturized, while adding a refreshing and renewing glow each day to your sunless color.
