Wait to shower: Avoid water, sweat, or any moisture for 6–8 hours (or as instructed by your technician). Some rapid tans may allow rinsing sooner. First rinse: When it’s time to shower, use lukewarm water only (no soap, shampoo, or scrubbing). The bronzer will wash off—this is normal. Moisturize daily: Use a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep skin hydrated. Pat dry: After showering, gently pat skin with a towel instead of rubbing. Wear loose, dark clothing: Right after tanning, stick to loose cotton to prevent streaks. 🚫 What to Avoid (First 24–48 Hours) ❌ Sweating, swimming, saunas, or hot tubs ❌ Exfoliating or shaving (this will fade the tan faster) ❌ Perfumes, deodorants, or oils right after the tan (can affect absorption) ❌ Tight clothing or bras immediately after (can rub the tan off unevenly) Tan Maintenance Use sulfate-free, gentle body wash to extend your tan. Moisturize morning & night to prevent patchiness. Avoid exfoliating until you’re ready to remove your tan (usually around day 7–10). Top-up with a gradual tan lotion if you want to extend your glow. ✨ Pro Tip: Your tan typically lasts 5–10 days depending on skin type, prep, and aftercare.
