Before You Tan:
- Exfoliate! This is crucial to extend the life of your spray tan. DHA affects only the dead skin cells, basically the top layer of our skin. The thicker the layer, the quicker the tan will rub off. Exfoliating makes the top layer smoother and thinner, allowing your spray tan to last longer. Exfoliating gloves with a body scrub work ideal for exfoliation.
- Shaving & Waxing should be done after exfoliating and preferably the night before your sunless treatment.
- Clean, Dried, Exfoliated Skin will allow the spray tan solution to be absorbed into the skin. Deodorants & lotions will act as a barrier and block the solution. Remove all lotions make-up, deodorant and jewelry.
- Wear a dark bathing suit or underwear when you are being tanned, though some of LS Clients prefer no tan lines.
- Drying time is 5 minutes. We recommend you wear dark, loose fitting clothing and flip-flops after you tan. Avoid wearing any wool and nylon which these fabrics may absorb the bronzer.

After You Tan:
- While your spray tan is processing try not to sweat. Avoid working out or any strenuous activity that will cause excessive amounts of perspiration. The DHA continues to develop and darken the top layer of the skin up to 16 hours after your sunless treatment. We recommend leaving the solution on your skin for no less than 8 hours, the longer the better. For best results shower the following morning after your treatment.
- Your first shower you are simply rinsing the cosmetic bronzer off the surface of your skin. Avoid long, hot baths which tends to dry out your skin. Avoid bar soaps which have a higher PH level and tend will cause dry patchy skin. Don’t exfoliate until the night before your next sunless treatment.
- Avoid chlorinated water which tends to eat away at a spray tan. Apply moisturizer twice daily, the more hydrated your tan the better it will last. Avoid lotion with Alpha Hydroxy which can cause bleaching and exfoliation.
- To extend the life of your spray tan use Liquid Sun Therapy Tan Extender on day 3 or 4 after your sunless treatment.
