Spray Tan Before and After Care
Ready for a flawless spray tan?
Follow these guidelines before and after your appointment!

Before the Session
- Try to take a shower at least 3 hours before your appointment - A fresh, clean body tans best!
- Shave and/or wax, and exfoliate the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. It is important to allow the amino acids in your skin to reconstruct, as the DHA agent in the spray tan solution needs amino acids to develop. The pores also need time to close before the application, otherwise it may leave dark spots on the skin
- Do not use lotion/moisturizers, wax, shaving cream, or any other oil-based products prior to your appointment. These products can leave residue on the skin and prevent the tanning solution from developing properly
- Do not wear makeup, creams, sunscreen, perfumes, or deodorant the day of the appointment.
- Moisturize the skin days prior to/leading up to your tanning session (NOT the day of the appointment)
- We recommend you wear loose and dark-coloured clothing when leaving your appointment
Exfoliation is the most important step to achieve an optimal result that will last up to 10 days. We suggest using a good-quality scrub, accompanied with an exfoliating mitt. This allows the elimination of dead skin cells and impurities. Pay attention to rough areas like feet, ankles, knees, elbows, underarms, knuckles,
etc.
If the exfoliation process has not been done properly, this could result in an uneven tan, which will fade quickly. NUDA products have been designed to fade gradually and evenly when the skin is properly prepared
During the Session
The application can be done with or without undergarments. Disposable underwear, nipple covers, and hair caps are provided if you require. If choosing to leave undergarments on, please choose DARK colours to prevent staining.
If choosing the CLASSIC spray tan solution, you will need to let your tan sit for 10-12 hours before you shower. If choosing the RAPID spray tan solution, you will need to let your tan sit for 3-5 hours before your shower
**Your NUDA tanning specialist will thoroughly discuss and educate you on the two different tanning solution types before the appointment begins. We will also discuss/review the desired shade specifically suited to your skin type, and your needs**

After the Session
- Avoid activities that provoke sweating, and any contact with liquid during the development period. If it is raining or snowing outside, please be sure to cover your skin with long clothing
- Avoid any excessive touching or rubbing of your skin while the solution is processing (Before your first shower/rinse)
- Do not apply creams or makeup on the skin during the development period
- If you will be sleeping with the tanning solution on; go to bed wearing, long, dark, loose-covered clothing
- Wait 10-12 hours or 3-5 hours before showering, depending on the solution used. Your artist will educate you on proper showering times according to the tanning type and shade applied
- When showering, rinse the entire body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water runs clear. For the first shower, we recommend NOT using soap
- Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate, good-quality lotion
- Excessive sweating, jacuzzis, saunas, and taking long hot baths or showers will cause faster fading
- Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of the result. Delicate shaving may be done OCCASIONALLY
- Use gentle facial cleansers (No oil-based or exfoliating products)
- Avoid lotion, soap, and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum, and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading
- Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result (10 days). When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues
