~ Infinity Glow~ - Airbrush Tanning By Denise
 
Spray Tanning Preparation:
 
 
The day or two BEFORE your Airbrush Tan Session:
 

  • Manicure & Pedicures, Massages & Spa treatments should be done 24-48 hours prior to your spray tanning session.



  • Wax/Shave 24 hours prior to your spray tanning session.

 

  • A GREAT way to FULLY EXFOLIATE your skin prior to your Airbrush session:  Take a long hot bath adding a TBSP of baby oil to your water.  Soak for a good 20 mins, letting your skin get good and wrinkled.  At this point exfoliate your skin all over using a non-abrasive exfoliating wash, sea salts, exfoliating glove or rough wash cloth.  rubbing in a circular motion...exfoliate well all over your body. Make sure to spend a little extra time on areas of the body that are typically dry or oily.  This is a wonderful way to really exfoliate all those dead skin cells, as well as removing your old spray tan and to prep for your next airbrush session! 

 
 
On the Day Of your Airbrush Tan Session:
 

  • Make sure to have CLEAN-FRESHLY EXFOLIATED skin!

 

  •  NO LOTIONS, NO PERFUMES, NO DEODORANT, NO MAKE UP or ANY product that will create a barrier on your skin!  These products will create a barrier on the top layer of skin, preventing the absorption of the tanning solution. Eye make up is OK.  If you are coming from work or need to wash off your make up or lotions before getting sprayed, you can do so at our studio.  

 

  • Avoid DOVE bar soap or deodorant soaps BEFORE your spray tan sessions.  These soaps tend to create a film or barrier on your  skin.

 

  • If your skin is feeling overly dry, looking blotchy or general looking overly weathered,  it is highly recommend to have a Ph Balance Normalization treatment prior to your tanning session.  

 

  • Make sure to wear in or bring with you dark, soft, loose fitting clothing & a pair of flip-flops to wear home from your spray tan session. Wearing tight, restricting or rough clothing will cause rubbing off of spray tan solution which will diminished tan results.  Please be advised...wearing your BRA right after your tanning session is not advised, as it will rub and create lines.   

 

  • Remove ALL jewelry prior to tan session and have your hair pulled back in a pony tail.  Hair nets are supplied.

 
What to wear DURING your Airbrush Tan Session:
 

  • It is completely up to you and your comfort level as to how much or as little you would like to wear during your tanning session.  When choosing to wear a bra & panties- it is recommended to have them be cotton fabric and dark in color.  Tanning solutions may stain nylons, silks & synthetic fabrics.

 

  • Tanning Naked is perfectly fine!  Many clients prefer no tan lines!

 

  • Male Clients must wear boxers, swim trunks or speedos.


 After your appointment:
 

  • After your spray tan session, you will need to wait 8-12 hoursbefore sweating or showering!!  This is the time period in which your spray tanning solution & the amino acids on the outer layer of  your skin are working together to produce your tan.



  • If you have been sprayed with our ULTRA ONE solution follow these recommended  wash off times!  With a Rapid Tan there is no waiting for hours to have your tan fully develop!!  For a desired Light Tan you will shower off your solution in 2 hours!  For a desired Medium Tan you will shower off in 3 hours!  And for a desired Dark Tan you will shower off in 4-5 hours!  Remember a quick, warm (NOT HOT) shower is recommended.  Rinse off solution until your water runs clear.  Lightly pat dry and apply your moisturizing lotion!

 

  • During your 1st post tan shower...Infinity Glow recommends a quick, warm (NOT HOT) water rinse off...(of course wash your hair!) Avoiding excessive hot showers, scrubbing or exfoliating for 5-7 days is recommended!  After this recommended time you can then exfoliate and prepare for your next tan session!

 

  •  Liquid soap is recommended as it is gentler to the skin then bar soap and is not as drying to the skin.

 

  • Post Tan Shaving: Always shave unwanted hair using a new, sharp razor and creamy conditioning lotions.  Avoid Hair removal products as these will strip your tan off with the hair.

 

  • Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! The more you moisturize the longer your tan will last. Moisturizing AM & PM is recommended.  Infinity Glow offers and recommends using our salon products that works great for keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized while extending the life of your tan by 2-3 days.

 
 

  • Make sure to ask about "Spray Tan in a Bottle."  It is a wonderful aerosol tanning spray that aids in extending the life of your spray tan during and between tanning appointments.  This product is great to take on vacations or for use in between tan sessions! **Highly recommended!

 
 
REMINDER: Things To AVOID after your Airbrush TAN...
 

  • AVOID long hot showers, baths, Saunas, rubbing or scratching of the skin.  This increases the natural skin exfoliation process. When drying your skin, lightly pat to dry.

 

  • AVOID lotions/cleansers/soaps that contain Glycolic Alpha hydroxyl, Sodium Laureth Sulphate or Alcohol.  These ingredients will exfoliate your skin & fade your tan, possibly removing your tan instantly!

 

  • AVOID spraying perfumes directly on your neck or skin.  Perfumes contain Alcohol which can create blotches and fading if sprayed directly on your tan.  Spray perfume in the air and walk through the perfume mist.

 

  • AVOID long swims in Chlorinated pools or soaking in Hot tubs.  Submerging in Chlorine will dramatically accelerate the fading process and promotes the outer layer of skin to slough off.  Applying a generous amount of Water proof Sunscreen prior to submerging can reduce the fading process.

 
If Unsure about certain products...feel free to call or text me with any questions you may have!  (360) 303-6163
 
**During your first initial shower after your Spray Tan application, expect about 25% of the cosmetic bronzer to wash off.  This is not your tan washing off but the bronzer that was applied with the tanning solution to give you your instant tan results.  When water runs clear you can then pop out of your shower, pat dry and Moisturize!! 
 
Your end result...
 
A Gorgeous Bronzed All Natural Looking Airbrush Tan!!
