DAT GLOW MOBILE + SPA

• Exfoliate and shave (pay attention to the elbows, knees, chest, neck, and face).
• Keep in mind that any shampoo or conditioners you use on your hair prior to your tan will leave a film on your skin causing a barrier. So please be sure to wash and condition your hair first, then exfoliate your body with an exfoliating mitt so there is no product left on your skin.
• Please do not shower at least 4 hours prior to your sunless treatment. Doing so can change your skins PH and will result in an uneven splotchy tan. If you must shower within that 4 hour window please make sure it is a cold shower rinse without soap.
• All waxing and tinting services should done before your tan.
• DON’T apply oil based lotions post shower.

 

 

• Post tan wear loose dark clothing such as: maxi dress, loose pajama style pants, or an oversized zippered sweatshirt(in the winter).
• Skip your bra for the next 6 hours.
• Wear flip-flops or slides to prevent streaks on your feet.
• On rainy days, wear slippers or rain boots, a loose zippered hoodie sweatshirt, and loose sweats or pajama pants. And don’t forget your umbrella!

 

 

After Treatment

 

• Please do not schedule your manicure, pedicure, or waxing appointments after your tan, as these treatments will remove any color from your skin.
• If possible, do not wear a bra until you have rinsed the cosmetic bronzer off.
• Please know that if you exercise and sweat heavily your tan can fade faster, especially if your clothing is tight. The same applies to sweating feet inside shoes.
• Shaving exfoliates skin, which can fade your tan. Be sure to use a new razor with a very minimal or no moisture strip on it and a lubricating product when shaving. A dull razor will remove your tan.
• Be aware that spending any time in a hot tub, swimming pool, or the ocean—or even taking a long hot bath—can cause your Airbrush Tan to prematurely fade.
• Do not use aerosol or oil-based sunscreen! The chemicals in them will ruin your sunless treatment. We recommend that you use a waterproof lotion sunscreen.
• This sunless spray tan treatment lasts about 7-10 days, depending on skin care and its condition.

 

 

Here are some products you should avoid after your Sunless Treatment

 

Use this as a guide for products to avoid, as they can lighten or make your sunless tan blotchy or change color:

• Products containing mineral oil, petroleum or parrabins
• Aerosol sunscreens
• AHA products (Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Glycolic, Lactic, Malic, Citric, and Tartaric acids)
• Anti-acne products that exfoliate or dry the skin, such as Accutane and Salicylic acid
• Antibiotics or other medications that affect your skin can also affect your tan
• Anti-aging products that “renew,” “refresh,” or otherwise exfoliate skin
• Band-Aid or adhesive tape applied to skin will pull the tan off
• Bar soaps and body wash, especially deodorant or antibacterial varieties
