Spray Tan

Before Your Session:

• Take a shower at least 3 hours before your appointment.
• Shave, wax, and exfoliate your skin at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. This allows amino acids to reconstruct, as DHA needs them to develop. Pores also need time to close to prevent dark spots.
• Exfoliation is the most important step for an even, long-lasting tan (up to 10 days). Use a quality exfoliating scrub and mitt to remove dead skin cells and impurities. Focus on rough areas like feet, ankles, elbows, armpits, and knuckles. For best results, use the NUDA Exfoliating Scrub and Mitt. Improper exfoliation can lead to uneven results and faster fading.
• Avoid lotions, gels, wax, shaving creams, or oil-based products before your session, as they can leave residue that prevents proper solution development.
• Do not wear makeup, creams, sunscreen, perfume, or deodorant on the day of your appointment.
• Moisturize your skin in the days leading up to your session, but not on the day of your appointment.
• The application can be done with or without undergarments or a bathing suit.
• Wear loose, dark-colored clothing when leaving your appointment to prevent smudging.
• Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment for a personalized consultation with one of our expertly trained specialists. This ensures we understand your goals, tailor your treatment, and maximize your results.

After Your Session:

• Avoid activities that cause sweating or contact with liquid during the development period. If it’s raining or snowing, wear long, loose, and covering clothing.
• Do not apply creams, lotions, or makeup on the skin during the development period.
• If sleeping with the solution on, wear long clothing to protect your tan.
• Wait 8-12 hours or 1-5 hours before showering, depending on the solution used. Refer to your artist for the recommended development time.
• Rinse your entire body and face thoroughly until the water runs clear. For your first shower, avoid using soap.
• Moisturize daily with an appropriate lotion. For best results, use the NUDA Body Cream to prolong your tan.
• Excessive sweating, jacuzzis, saunas, hot baths, or long showers can cause faster fading.
• Do not wax areas where the solution has been applied for the duration of the tan. A delicate shave may be done occasionally.
• Use gentle, oil-free facial cleansers—avoid exfoliating or oil-based products.
• Avoid lotions, soaps, and body washes containing mineral oil, petroleum, or alcohol, as they can cause faster fading.
• Do not exfoliate for the duration of your tan. Once it starts fading, exfoliate thoroughly to remove old tan residue for an even fade-out.
