Aftercare

Spray Tans

To ensure the best results and longevity of your spray tan, please follow these aftercare tips:

Immediately After Your Tan:

1.    Avoid showering, bathing, or sweating for the next 6-8 hours (or as directed for express tans).
2.    Wear loose, dark clothing to prevent rubbing and staining while your tan develops.
3.    Avoid touching your skin to prevent transferring product to your hands.

After Your Development Time:

Rinse off the guide color in lukewarm water—no soaps, shower gels, or scrubbing during your first rinse.
Gently pat your skin dry with a towel; do not rub.

Ongoing Care:

Keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing daily to extend the life of your tan.
Avoid long baths, hot showers, swimming, or excessive exfoliation, as these can cause your tan to fade faster.
Use a gentle, sulfate-free body wash to cleanse your skin.
Exfoliate lightly after 5-7 days to ensure an even fade.

Additional Tips:

•    Avoid wearing tight clothing or shoes that rub against the skin to prevent uneven fading.
•    If shaving, use a fresh razor and plenty of shaving cream to minimize tan removal.
•    Avoid products containing AHAs, BHAs, retinol, or alcohol, as these can strip your tan.

With proper aftercare, your spray tan will last around 5-7 days, leaving you with a radiant, streak-free glow.

Manicures & Gel Manicures

Manicure Aftercare - To keep your nails looking flawless and your hands feeling their best, follow these simple aftercare tips:

Immediately After Your Manicure:

1.    Allow your nail polish to fully dry before using your hands to avoid smudging.
2.    Avoid contact with water, heat, or steam for at least 2 hours to let the polish set.

Ongoing Care:

Moisturize your hands and cuticles daily to keep them hydrated and prevent dryness.
Avoid using your nails as tools to open or scrape objects—they aren’t designed for that!
Wear gloves when doing household chores, especially when using cleaning products or washing dishes.
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as it can weaken your nails and cause polish to lift.

Gel Manicure - Specific Aftercare:

For gel nails, avoid picking or peeling them off to prevent nail damage. Always book a professional removal.
Use cuticle oil daily to maintain flexibility and prevent the gel from lifting.
Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as soaking in hot water or exposing your nails to very cold conditions, as this can cause lifting.
Book infill or removal appointments within 2-3 weeks to maintain the health of your natural nails and your gel manicure’s flawless finish.

Additional Tips:

•    Avoid using harsh chemicals on your hands, as these can dull your polish or damage the gel.
•    Use a non-acetone nail polish remover if you need to touch up non-gel polish.
•    If you experience any discomfort or damage to your nails, consult your technician.

By following these tips, your manicure will stay beautiful, and your nails will remain healthy and strong.

Ongoing Care:

Removal:

Do not peel or pick at the Bio Sculpture gel, as this can damage your natural nails. Always book a professional removal for a safe and gentle process.

Additional Tips:
