We always say the best sunless tans come from two things:
Skin Care (Your Job) +
A Slayin' Technique (Our Job)
We're confident in our job.
Now, let's get you up to speed on how to prep your skin + how to take care of your tan so we can create some magic together.
Before You Spray
Shave your body as you normally do.
Don't worry, guys, you don't have to shave your arms or legs if you don't normally shave those areas. Our powerful SlayTan gun will move your hairs for a perfect spray tan experience.
Shower before you spray tan.
Removing any residue, lotion, deodorant, or any other barriers that could cause your spray tan to be lighter in color, streaky, or splotchy. After your shower, avoid putting on any barriers (oils, lotions, makeup).
Exfoliate your bod!
This is one of the , if not the, most important part: If you want the most even, flawless, long-lasting spray tan you need to take all the dead skin off your body so we have a fresh canvas to work with.
After You Spray
Your X-Tan spray tan technician will advise you when it's safe to rinse off.
Some solutions take 2 hours while others take 8 hours.
Before you take your first shower please try your best to not get wet, sweat, or wear anything too tight.
During your first rinse, you will notice all your bronzer coming off in the shower.
This is normal. You may look a bit lighter immediately after you first rinse but your spray tan will continue to develop over 24-48 hours.
Over the next 7-10 days that you have your sunless tan on, please do not exfoliate your skin, use mineral oils, or stay in hot water for long periods of time.
The more your skin exfoliates, the faster your spray tan can come off.
More Tips
Use an oil-free SPF lotion sunscreen to protect your skin and your tan.
Putting SPF on 15 minutes before you enter the water will not only protect your skin against harmful UV rays but it will also protect your spray tan as it creates a barrier between the tan and the water. Sunless tans and chlorinated water are not BFF's
