Be sure you understand everything as well. PLEASE DO NOT hesitate to ask any questions – we’re here to help!  \nSHOWER SHAVE AND EXFOLIATE  \nPrior to your airbrush tanning session shower, shave, and exfoliate. Shaving 24 hours prior to getting a sunless spray tan is also strongly advised. This will eliminate the occurrence of little dark dots where your follicles are. Wash your deodorant in the shower and do not apply before your spray. This will block the spray from applying to your skin. Showering with a full-body exfoliation prior is recommended. The best way to accomplish this is with a body scrub. (If you do not have a body scrub, you can add sugar, salt, or baking soda to anybody wash,)  \nMake sure not to use any bar soaps like Dove, Irish Spring, Dial. Zest or any other bar soap. These can sometimes make the tan turn orange in color. Also, make sure that you are not using any liquid soap or body washes with mineral oil or petroleum-based products. Not only will this be bad for your spray tan, but these products are horrible foryour skin anyway, Dove Moisture wash is another culprit of uneven tans.  \nWe have a tanning soap bar available for purchase ($10) by Amazing Soap, as well as a whole line of Hemp Body Washes that are perfect for a permanent replacement for your everyday use.  \nBRING DARKER CLOTHING TO LEAVE IN  \nLoose clothing, sandals or flip-flops are perfect. Women should ideally refrain from wearing a bra for two hours afterward unless it was worn during the airbrush session.  \nPOST CARE FOR YOUR AIRBRUSHED TAN  \nYour tan begins to develop in about 4 to 6 hours after your tanning session. It will continue to darken over the next 24 hours. Your tan will begin to fade in 5 to 7 days,  \ndepending upon how you prepared your skin prior to your tan, and how you cared foryour skin after your tan.  \nDO take special care for at least 5 hours after you have been airbrushed. Continue to wear loose clothing and do not get water or any other substances on your skin. This includes manicures, pedicures, shampooing, and perspiring.  \nWAIT for 6 to 8 hours before showering. Stand under your shower and let the bronzer rinse off. Washing your skin should be done with your hand or something with a soft abrasion.  \nDO NOT RUB YOUR SKIN WITH A TOWEL AFTER BATHING Pat to dry only. This includes washing your hands. You might forget sometimes if you are new to spray tanning care. No worries. Just try to remember!  \nMOISTURIZE!  \nIt is best to begin using a \"Tan-Extender\" which will be recommended by your technician. A spray tan fades only when your body begins to \"shed\" the top layer. This can be extended if your skin is taken good care of by moisturizing and gently drying your body when wet.  \nRINSE OFF or shower immediately after workouts, swimming in pools and salt water bathing.  \nWEAR SPF This airbrush tanning solution contains no sun protection. Please be sure to protect your skin and wear the proper SPF protection when in the sun.  \nTHINGS THAT CAN ACCELERATE FADING  \nProducts containing: Alpha and Beta Hydroxyl acids, Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic, Citric, Tartaric, Retina A, Citrus (orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime), alcohol, witch hazel.  \nTypes of Products: hair removal, make-up removers, anti-acne, adhesive tape, facial masks, skin or hair bleaching, hair coloring.","cbCaibStlih9C7Nm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibStlih9C7Nm","pdf",31372,"English","# Spray Tan Prep\n## Shower, Shave, and Exfoliate\n## Bring Darker Clothing to Leave In\n## Post Care for Your Airbrushed Tan\n## Moisturize and Tan Maintenance\n## Wear SPF and Avoid Fading Accelerators","[{\"question\":\"How should you prepare your skin before a spray tan session?\",\"answer\":\"Shower, shave, and exfoliate before the airbrush session.
