How do I PREPARE for my Airbrush Tan for the maximum result?
Maintenance before session
EXFOLIATE. This is extremely important! Exfoliate your skin the 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells. Best results occur when exfoliation is done several time prior to your spray session. When exfoliating do NOT to use an oily exfoliator.
BE CLEAN. Avoid wearing makeup, perfumes, lotions, oils, deodorants or any product on the skin that would create a barrier. Your skin MUST be completely clean & dry for the best results.
SHAVE EARLY. Shave/wax at least 24 hours before your session to minimize irritation.
DRESS APPROPRIATELY. Have dark, loose fitting clothing and undergarments to wear during and after your appointment.
CHECK YOUR MEDS. Medicated or prescription lotions may act as barriers to tanning solutions. We recommend you wait at least five days from the last use before you get an airbrush tan.
NO SUNBURNS. Sunburns have a possibility of peeling, which will peel your Airbrush Tan off. Do not get an Airbrush Tan until your skin has peeled.
NO PERFUME. Perfume applied either before, or after the session can cause you airbrush tan to peel away or alter your color. It does not matter, if you had a shower and scrubbed before your spray tan because some perfumes just penetrate the skin so deep.
SPECIAL OCCASIONS. It is recommended that you schedule your appointment for an airbrush spray tan session at least 48 hours before my event.

How do I Maintain my Airbrush Tan for the maximum result?
Maintenance after session
AVOID SWEATING!
Immediately after your spray tanning session. Avoid activities that may cause you to sweat excessively to avoid streaking the cosmetic bronzer. Use the air conditioning in your car on a hot day. Remember, you just have been tinted with a water soluble solution.
AVOID WATER!
You must avoid water entirely for at least 6 Hours or you will stop the tanning action of the DHA and /or cause streaking. That includes but not limited to washing hand, sweating of any kind and happy or sad tears.
AVOID SWIMMING & SPAS!
Avoid chemically treated swimming pools and spas after your spray session to prevent color from fading.
CLEANSING – WAIT TO SHOWER!
For maximum results, wait at least 6-12 Hours before showering or bathing. After that time, we recommend Norvell pH balancing shower Cleanser as your shower product. Avoid using bar soaps or high PH products – they will strip and fade your tan rapidly. Norvell’s body cleansers are designed to hydrate, moisturize and nourish while maintaining the proper pH levels for your skin. Proper cleansing insures even fading and the longest lasting, most natural looking sunless results. After bathing, gently “pat dry” skin. If you must bathe prior to the 16 hour process period use plain warm water only. The instant cosmetic bronzer will wash off – as it is designed to do.
TAN EXTEND/MOISTURIZE/REFRESH:
The day after your sunless spray session and after your first shower, use Prolong Moisturizing Lotion. This lotion helps keep your tan healthy and the skin moisturized while adding refreshing flow each day to your color. It also helps your color fade gradually and evenly. For an extravagant daily ritual, try Norvell’s Body Butter – a rich crème developed to eliminate severely dry skin due to environmental exposure, UV and sunless tanning.
BETWEEN SESSIONS:
For additional color, we suggest the use of Norvell Sunless Mousse, Sunless Spray or Sunless Lotions between salon spraying appointments to preserve and maintain your beautiful deep, dark color.
