COMMON QUESTIONS

When can I get a massage?  Before tan is best,then oils must be washed away. Or 24 hours after tan with no oils and no scrubbing motion.

When can I wax? Only before spray tan, never after a spray tan.

I plan to go out on the evening of my tan? That is fine…But..Remember that sweating and tight shoes and clothes will rub off tan before it is fully developed, so when you go out take it easy and wear loose clothing and flip flops.

When can I rinse the solution off?

** Rapid tan solution rinse 2 hours for light tan. 3 hours for medium tan, 4 hours max for dark

**Classic solutions rinse time is minimum 8 to 12 hours. Classic solution is choice for clients who can’t rinse at a scheduled time or are going to bed

Abby will look at your skin and help you decide which solution is best for the tan that you prefer for the outcome that you want.
