Before & After Care

To ensure the best results from your SunFX spray-on tan, we highly recommend preparing your skin beforehand. This involves a thorough cleansing and exfoliation of your entire body, using our gentle exfoliating gloves or our SunFX Body Polish which contains natural walnut shell and turbinado sugar.

Be sure to focus on rough areas such as knees, ankles, heels, and the tops of your feet, as these areas tend to absorb tanning solution faster, potentially leading to an uneven looking tan. By exfoliating beforehand, you can effectively remove the top layers of dry and dead skin, leaving your skin fresh and ready for a flawless tan.

If you plan to shave or wax, we suggest doing so at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. This will give your skin time to heal and any small nicks or cuts to close up, reducing the risk of uneven tanning or irritation. With proper preparation and attention to detail, you can ensure a perfect and long-lasting SunFX tan.

To achieve the best results from your SunFX spray-on tan, it’s important to prepare your skin properly on the day of your appointment. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

Avoid Certain Products: Prior to your appointment, avoid using deodorants, moisturisers, perfumes, and makeup if possible, as these can interfere with the effectiveness of the SunFX tanning solution. If you must use deodorant, be sure to wipe it off before your appointment.

Exfoliate: Use gentle exfoliating gloves or SunFX Body Polish with natural walnut shell and turbinado sugar to cleanse and exfoliate your entire body. Focus on rough skin areas like knees, ankles, heels, and the tops of your feet to remove dead skin cells and create an even surface for the tanning solution.

Shave or Wax: If you plan to shave or wax, do so at least 24 hours before your appointment to allow your skin to recover and avoid irritation from the tanning solution.

What to Wear: It’s important to wear suitable clothing after your appointment to avoid staining your clothes. We recommend wearing loose, dark clothing as some minor rub off can occur after your spray tan. Leather and lighter colored fabrics are more prone to staining, so avoid wearing them if possible. During the application, you may wear as little or as much as you like, but most people choose to wear a G-string or bikini. Our spray tan technicians are fully trained to respect your privacy and confidentiality.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your skin is well-prepared for your SunFX spray tan, resulting in a flawless and natural-looking tan.

Congratulations on your beautiful SunFX tan! To maintain it for up to 5 to 7 days, it’s important to follow the instructions below.

After your tan has been applied, allow it to dry completely before getting dressed. Your SunFX technician will make sure it’s dry before you leave, but to be safe, avoid getting your skin wet for at least 5 hours after the session. We recommend showering the next morning for the best results.

During the time between your tanning and showering, avoid excessive sweating or exercise as this could cause the tan to wear off unevenly.

When you shower, don’t worry if some of the initial bronzer washes off, this is part of the tanning process and your skin will continue to develop a beautiful, natural-looking tan. However, use only a gentle body wash rather than abrasive soaps that could shorten the lifespan of your tan.

To extend the life of your tan, moisturize your skin daily with a hydrating lotion. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, chlorinated water, or saltwater as these can also shorten the lifespan of your tan.

Remember that SunFX tanning solutions do not contain sunscreen, so be sure to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Enjoy your beautiful, natural-looking SunFX tan!

After your SunFX tan application, it is important to follow certain steps to ensure that your tan lasts as long as possible. Typically, a SunFX tan lasts 5 to 7 days depending on your skin type and how well you follow the instructions.

Firstly, after your tan is applied, it is crucial to let it dry completely. Your SunFX technician will ensure that your application is dry before you leave, but it is recommended not to wet your skin for at least 5 hours after the tanning session. It is best to shower the following morning to ensure that your tan has fully developed.

During the time between your tanning session and your shower, it is recommended that you do not exercise or perspire excessively. This is to avoid the risk of sweat causing streaks or blotches in your tan.

When showering, it is important to use only soft body wash rather than normal soaps which can be abrasive and shorten the lifespan of your tan. Do not be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off during your first shower as this is part of the tanning process, and your skin will continue to tan.

To extend the life of your tan, it is important to keep your skin moisturized daily. This will help to keep your skin hydrated and avoid any dry patches which can cause the tan to flake and fade faster.

Finally, it is recommended that you avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water, as this can also shorten the lifespan of your tan. If you do go swimming, rinse your skin with fresh water as soon as possible to avoid any damage to your tan.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your SunFX tan looks its best and lasts as long as possible.
