Toucan Tan - Spray tan preparation and maintenance

Prep and Maintenance

If planning for a special event it is recommended to schedule an appointment 1-2 days prior.
Make sure to get any spa treatments (mani, pedi, waxing...) before your spray tan.
Shower, exfoliate, and shave as close to the time of your appointment as possible to remove dry, flaky skin cells and to minimize the amount of body oils. Do not use bar soap or soap containing a high amount of moisturizer.
Do not apply moisturizer or deodorant, and remove makeup prior to your tan as these products act as a barrier making the spray tan solution less effective.

Clothing while being sprayed is at your discretion. Keep in mind any resulting tan lines when considering the clothes you will wear.
Recommended, although not required, disposable thong, hair cap, nose plugs, and eye protection can be purchased.

Wear loose clothing. Nothing too tight or constricting that will rub or dig into your skin. If it is raining, cover up.
Before your first shower do not exercise and avoid all activities that will cause your skin to get wet or sweat.
Do not apply any lotion or moisturizer.
Wait at least 5-6 hours before you shower. The longer you can wait the better. You will see your tan get a little darker. Rinse off with warm water (hot water will dry out your skin) to remove the "excess" bronzer. Do not rub, scrub, or exfoliate.
After your first shower moisturize often.
To extend the life of your spray tan we recommend California Tan's Glow Extender lotion available in 6oz bottle or .5oz packet. Ask your spray tan technician about it.
