  • Shower and exfoliate your skin prior to your session, paying extra attention to your chest and neck.  
  • Shaving and waxing should be done 8 hours prior to your session.
  • Avoid using lotions, creams, deodorants, moisturizers, and make-up 4 hours prior to your session.  
  • Wear or bring dark, loose-fitting clothing (avoid elastic and straps if possible) and flip-flops for use after your tan.

The 10 Commandments for Spray Tan Aftercare

Follow these 10 Commandments to Keep Your Tan Flawless:

  • Let your spray tan develop for 10 to 12 hours prior to showering.
  • Do not engage in any activities that cause sweating until after your tan has fully developed.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing while your tan is developing and avoid wearing elastic or thin straps.
  • During the life of your tan, use a moisturizing body wash or shower gel.  Do not use bar soaps or exfoliating washes.  
  • Shave with a new razor.
  • Moisturize at least twice daily.
  • Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated
  • After showering, gently dry (or pat dry) your skin with a soft, non-abrasive towel.
  • Avoid spraying perfume or cologne directly on your skin.
  • Use Infinity Sun's Glow On the Go touch up spray to touch up areas such as the face, hands, and feet which tend to fade more quickly.
