Wait at least 8-12 hours before getting wet (this includes showering, sweating, washing dishes, watering the lawn, crying, makeup, and moisturizers). If it's wet, stay away from it!

Cover Shoot - 8 hrs = lightest tan; 10 hrs = medium tan; 12+ hrs = darkest tan.

For rapid tan, wait 2-6 hours or as directed by your spray tan specialist. For ultra dark, wait 6-12 hours.

Keep your hands out of water for as long as possible today. Try using hand sanitizer just on the palms of your hands. As soon as you put your hands in water the color will stop developing.

(Preparing for your next tan) When needed, use the X-Tan Remover to help fade unwanted color. Soak in a hot bath with 1/2 c baking soda and juice of a lemon for 20 minutes (add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil for relaxation) and use the exfoliating mitt to remove your old tan.

Don’t rub your face or skin with your hands today, the color will stain your hands until you have taken your first shower.

No bad vibes! Developing spray tans + tears = streaked cheeks!

No soap or body wash in your first rinse post-tan (warm water rinse ONLY using your hands to gently remove the cosmetic color until the water runs clear).

When showering, while you have your tan, use only your hands while washing and soap only “the essentials”. Take a warm to cool shower for the life of your tan. Hot water is dehydrating your skin and fades your tan quicker. AVOID Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, Caress Shower Gels, or Lotions. Anything with a lot of perfume has a lot of alcohol and that is striping of the color. Also, avoid Dove body wash, it will change the color of your tan, leave a film on your skin, and strip your color faster. After your initial first shower, Phydra-Luxe Optimizing Wash is a great body wash designed to make tans last. After conditioning your hair, make sure to use your hands to remove the leftover conditioner on your body.

No loofahs, washcloths, exfoliating mitts, or body scrubs for the life of the tan. Pat yourself dry with a towel after your shower. Do not rub.

Anything that exfoliates your skin will fade your tan!

Dry skin leads to a patchy fade. Moisturize often (at least 2 times per day) with a water-based (mineral-oil free) moisturizer to ensure even fading and longer wear of the tan.

Our post-tan care product line, Infinity Sun Extend Lotion, can lengthen the life of your tan dramatically anywhere from 3-7 days. Our Tan Me BB can extend your tan for up to 3 weeks and is also a gradual tanner, color corrector, and skin-plumping BB cream. Also, our SPF is specially designed to protect your tan while enjoying the outdoors.

Use Phydraluxe and a good razor to shave your legs. Shaving will inevitably fade your color, so the use of a tan-extending moisturizer is highly recommended. Don’t rush!
