Caring for Your Mist-On Tan

Do not shower or bathe for 6 - 8 hours after your tanning application. The DHA sunless tanner needs time to activate and darken. Color generally peaks in 12-24 hours. The bronzing product (your immediate dark brown color) will wash away in your first shower. Your result will be a golden brown tan.
Avoid workouts or other activities that will cause perspiration until after your first shower.
Use a gentle cleanser when bathing; glycerin products seem to work best. Avoid products that cause heavy exfoliation of the skin. Exfoliating speeds the fading process.
Keeping your skin moist helps to maintain a longer lasting tan. Applying moisturizer after showering is most effective.
Excessive chlorine will cause the deterioration of your tan. We recommend you do not exceed 30 minutes at a time in a pool or spa.
Avoid the use of Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic acid or other acid peel products on your tan. If you use a UV tanning bed, do not use acceleration lotions. Using these products on your tan will speed the deterioration process.
Wear loose fitting shoes and clothing for at least 30 minutes after your session to allow the tan to set.
Following these simple guidelines will help ensure a long lasting tan.
