+ Will I turn orange?
No, of course not! Our solutions are designed to provide natural and conservative results. Our consultants have the ability to mix over 100 different colors with our vegan, organic based solutions, none of which are orange!
+ What do I need to avoid while my spray tan is setting?
Do not allow your skin to come in contact with any water or product until your tan has fully set (this will depend on which solution you had applied). This means no make-up, moisturizer, and no activities that will cause you to sweat until after your first shower. No crying, washing dishes or accidentally peeing on your leg either (yup, it happens).
+ Will I ruin my spray tan if I sleep while it sets?
If you plan to allow your tan to develop overnight then we suggest wearing a long sleeve top and long pants to bed, in order to avoid skin to skin contact. Any skin to skin contact will create friction on the skin, which creates sweat, which will not allow your tan to set- this also means no skin to skin contact with anyone else’s skin ;) You will also want to ensure your sleep environment stays a confortable temperature to prevent sweating!
+ How long does a blushtan® solution spray tan last?
Your custom results will provide gorgeous, glowing results for 5-7 days (potentially longer due to our hydrating ingredients!) as long as your skin stays moisturized and products with harsh chemicals, exfoliants and bleaching ingredients are avoided. To get the most out of your tan, ask about our line of organic and natural products that are specifically designed for sunless tanning. Using these recommended products will not only provide longer lasting results, but also more natural and even fading.
+ How do I maintain my spray tan results?
When you have a spray tan you should avoid bar soaps, exfoliants and products not designed for use with a spray tan. For best results when showering, use our 'sunless safe' blushtan® Body Wash. You should always use a 'sunless safe' moisturizer post-shower to keep skin hydrated. For best results use our blushtan® Hydrating Moisturizer daily post-shower. Keeping your skin moisturized will mean longer lasting results and more natural, even fading. To refresh your color once it starts to fade, apply blushtan® Gradual Tanning Moisturizer with our blushtan® Tanning Mitt.
+ Can I shave while I have a spray tan?
It is best to take care of any hair removal at least a few hours before your spray tan appointment. However, we do understand that sometimes shaving post application cannot be avoided - in this case, be sure to wait at least 24 hours after your tan was applied and be gentle - shaving is a form of mild exfoliation so we want you to be careful that you do not remove the tan.
+ How do I maintain my spray tan on vacation?
We highly recommend coming in for a quick bronzing session 24-48 hours before you're vacation bound! That being said, sweating, salt water and/or the high levels of chlorine used in resort pools will unfortunately cause your spray tan results to fade very quickly :( So here are your options... 1 - Stay cool and avoid the pool! Find a lounge chair in the shade, tell your waiter to keep the frozen drinks coming and stay away from the water (occasional toe dip allowed); OR 2 - Enjoy your spray tan as a nice initial base tan to ensure confidence is high the first time you put on your bathing suit and head for the beach/pool! While you're splashing around in the ocean or relaxing by the swim up bar, you will probably be soaking up a little natural sun which helps make up for the faux glow you lost. Whichever option you choose, remember that the tan may fade, but the memories will last forever (aaand we don't want you to be remembered as 'that girl' who stressed about her spray tan the whole trip)! Besides, we thought you were perfect pre-tan (and your family/friends probably agree)- so pack our blushtan® Gradual Tanning Moisturizer for touchups, get that new Instagram shot out of the way on day one when your tan is fresh and pleeeease just enjoy your vacation!!
