Pre & After Care

Pre and after care is essential for the best results! Make sure you get the best and long lasting results!

spray tan 

Pre Care & Maintain

  • Exfoliate your skin before the session. The fresh skin cells will form a smooth base that your spray tan will stick to. The fresher the skin cells, the longer the life of the tan. A good scrub and an exfoliating mitt will allow the elimination of all the dead skin cells and impurities on the body. Pay attention to rough areas like the top of the feet, heels, ankles, elbows, knees, knuckles, etc.

  • Shave, wax and exfoliate the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before applying the solution. Otherwise, the bronzer can get soaked into the pores.

  • Do not wear any existing self-tanner or residue from a former spray tan on the skin.

  • Do not use lotions, oil-based exfoliating products, gels or waxing/shaving creams on the day of the appointment. These can leave a film and change the pH of the skin.

  • If you really need to take a shower before the appointment, take it 3 hours prior to the session and rinse only with warm water. The steam can open the pores.

  • Manicures, pedicures, facials and massages should be done days before the appointment.

  • If the skin is sweaty, make sure to dry it prior to the application.

  • Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant.

  • The application can be done with or without undergarments or a bathing suit.

  • Wearing loose and dark clothes is recommended for after the session. Tight clothing can rub against the tan and remove color on some areas.

​

THE SKIN SHOULD BE PERFECTLY EXFOLIATED, BARE, DRY AND CLEAN PRIOR TO YOUR SPRAY TAN.

Post Care

  • Wait 8 to 12 hours or 1 to 5 hours before showering, depending on the solution. This is the period of time required for the development of spray tanning solutions. WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP at designated time, to ensure no orange hands!

  • For the first shower after development, we recommend not using soap. Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly until the water is clear.

  • Avoid activities that cause sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it's raining or snowing outside, you should wear long, concealing clothes.

  • If the session takes place in the evening, you should go to bed wearing long, loose clothes to prevent the bronzer from getting on your sheets.

  • Do not apply cream, makeup or perfume on the skin during the development period.

  • If you accidentally touch your skin during development, clean your fingers or inner hands with a wet and soapy cloth while carefully avoiding not wetting the rest of the hand.

  • If you accidentally come into contact with liquids during development, you can apply a fine layer of self tanning lotion on this specific area and rub the lotion around the area that came in contact with liquid.

  • Avoid body washes, lotions, sunscreens with alcohol, parabens, mineral or petroleum oil, or sulfates. Do not apply perfume directly on the areas that have been sprayed. The alcohol present in perfumes can affect the spray tan.

  • Use soft facial cleansers. Avoid oily or exfoliating ones as well as brushes. Beware of strong anti-acne products that dehydrate the skin!

  • Do not wax areas where solution has been applied. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.

  • Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. I love HEMPTZ!

  • Excessive sweating, hot tubs, saunas, long baths and pools can cause a faster fading.

Teeth whitening

Pre Care

  • Make sure to eat before your appointment, as you cannot eat for 2 hours after treatment

  • Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated

  • Avoid brushing or flossing teeth six hours before your appointment

  • Plan ahead - You'll need to eat a

"White Diet" for 24 hours after treatment

  • You're welcome to listen to music/podcast while having your treatment

  • Dress comfy! This is a 90 minute appointment, wear something you can relax in!

Post Care

  • Avoid dark colored food and drink for at least 48 hours

  • Avoid acidic foods that will weaken your enamel

  • Avoid foods that are too hot or too cold to reduce discomfort

  • Avoid colored toothpaste and mouthwash for

48 hours

  • Use over the counter medication for pain relief if needed

  • Use anti-sensitivity toothpaste to help reduce discomfort

  • Drink a ton of water! The more water you drink the less sensitive your teeth will be.
