Spray Tan After-Care Instructions
Confirm your solution and assigned rinse time. Standard and rapid tans have different instructions.
Before and just after
- The night before, shave, exfoliate, and moisturize as instructed. Wear dark, loose clothing afterward to limit rubbing and guide-color transfer.
- Rinse hands about 1 hour after treatment as directed. Keep the remaining tan undisturbed until your assigned full-body rinse.
Your first rinse
- Standard tan: rinse within 8–24 hours. Rapid tan: 3–5 hours. Follow the specific time assigned. Shower briefly with lukewarm water, without soap, scrubs, or a loofah.
- Guide color and small speckles wash away. Color develops over roughly 6–8 hours and may continue after a rapid rinse; this does not change your assigned rinse time.
Maintain color safely
- Pat dry instead of rubbing. After the first rinse, moisturize as directed and ask which products suit your tan.
- A spray tan does not replace sunscreen. Use separate broad-spectrum SPF 30+, shade, and protective clothing.
- For future spray applications, protect eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. Avoid inhaling or swallowing spray; report prior reactions.
When to get help
- Call Beauty Lab + Laser for rash or persistent irritation. Seek prompt medical care for eye irritation, cough, or wheezing after spray exposure. Severe breathing symptoms need emergency care.
- Call 911 for trouble breathing, throat or tongue swelling, or collapse.
