Please follow our before and after care instructions to get the most out of your sunless spray tan. Prior instructions to your spray tanning session and how you care for your airbrush tan after is very crucial and will be 100% up to you to maintain and follow proper instructions. What you do and don't do will highly affect the outcome of your airbrush tan. 

WHEN TO BOOK YOUR AIRBRUSH TAN:

If you are tanning for any special occasion, event, Vacation, Wedding, Prom, Birthdays,Girls Night Out, ETC. We recommend you to book your airbrush tanning session 1-2 days before your event. 

BEFORE YOUR SPRAY TAN SESSION:

You will need to shower and exfoliate your entire body at least 12-24 hours prior to your airbrush tan.Shave/Wax any unwanted body hair. Exfoliating should be the very last step of your shower. Do not apply any products after you have finished exfoliating. Example: If you exfoliate then wash your hair you will be creating a residue barrier to inhibit the tan to adhere to those areas. So please be sure exfoliating is the very last step. Avoid any OIL products as it may refrain the spray tan solution to adhere correctly. Manicures, Pedicures, & waxing should be done prior to your airbrush tanning session. If your skin is really dry we do advise you to apply an oil free moisturizer before your appointment. PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE ANY JEWELRY OR ANY VALUABLE BELONGINGS SAFE AT HOME. MGS will not be responsible for any personal belongings left behind. 

WHAT TO WEAR:

You may wear what you most feel comfortable in during the airbrush tanning process. It all depends on the clients comfort level. Be sure to wear dark undergarments when getting sprayed. We offer disposable shower caps and disposable thongs for you. Make sure to wear dark loose fitted comfortable clothing after your airbrush tanning session. No shorts or dresses, nothing white or tight until after you have taken your 1st shower. If your appointment happens to be on a rainy/snowy day please be sure to bring an umbrella or to have yourself covered from head to toe as much as possible. Men must wear some form of undergarment such as bathing suit, shorts, or underwear during their airbrush tanning session.

 

8-10 HOURS WHILE YOUR TAN IS PROCESSING:

You need to keep your body fully protected until your 1st shower! Wear dark loose fitted clothing. Loose fitted pants & long/short sleeve T-shirt is best. We advise you not to wear dresses, shorts, nothing white or tight & no crop tops. No clothing that shows skin until after you have taken your 1st shower. Your tan is still processing for the next 10 hours & will continue to get darker. No skin to skin contact. Do not sweat in any way. Do not work out. Do not change into different clothing, keep the same clothing on you left our salon with and leave on till your 1st shower. Pretty much watch Netflix and chill! :)

Shower Time:

It is very important to shower before returning to any activities after your tan has fully processed. Use a mild soap in your 1st shower. If you need to shave please use a new razor as the old one can be dull and cause fading or streaking of the skin. Pat yourself dry with a towel & DO NOT RUB! Moisturize for the next 10 days. Do not use any oil based products as it can also cause uneven fading and/or streaking. Moisturizing is one of the key factors to a long lasting airbrush tan that will last more than a week and evenly fade away. If using any acne products we would advise to not use them while you have your spray tan on. 

How Long will my spray tan last:  

Your tan should last for about 7-10 days depending on how you maintain and care for it. Each individuals body chemistry is different based on skin type and PH balance.
