Professional Spray Tan Pre & Post Care Essentials
Professional Spray Tan Pre & Post Care Essentials
Proper skin pre and post-tan care are essential for achieving a flawless, long-lasting spray tan.
For best results, we recommend the following:
Pre-Tan: Begin your session with either the Norvell® EXMITT™ or XLATAN™ pH Balancing Spray immediately prior to tanning to prime the skin for optimal color development.
Post-Tan:
-
Avoid Showering for 24 Hours
After your spray tan, do not shower, shave, or shampoo for approximately 24 hours. This allows the color to develop and set for a deeper, longer-lasting glow.
-
Use Gentle, Hydrating Products
When you do shower, use a gentle, sulfate-free body wash to preserve your tan. Follow with a rich moisturizer daily to keep your skin hydrated and your color looking fresh.
We Recommend: Norvell Glow System Shower Cleanser and Body Butter.
-
Extend and Enhance Your Tan Between Sessions
Maintain your glow with a DHA-infused tan extender or self-tanner. These products help refresh color and prolong the life of your spray tan.
Try: Norvell Glow System Prolong, Post-Tan Face Lotion, or any Norvell Self-Tanner for radiant touch-ups.
