Malibu Tan Company wants to prepare you to come out of the spray tanning booth looking your best.  Here are our top 10 tips.

1. Avoid using deodorant before your spray tan appointment.  It will provide a barrier to the spray tan’s absorption.

2. Don’t apply moisturizer prior to having a spray tan as it will interrupt the absorption of the spray tan.

3. Always exfoliate and shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to a spray tan appointment.  Shaving after a spray tan will remove the tan.

4. Try not to get wet for 1–2 hours after a spray tan. If it is raining the day of your appointment, make sure you bring a large enough umbrella to cover you.

5. When possible, try to wear dark, loose clothing to and from a spray tan appointment to avoid staining lighter-colored clothes.

6. Try to avoid activities that will cause excessive perspiring for 12 hours after a spray tan, even if you are able to wash your tan off after a couple of hours.

7. Avoid activities that naturally exfoliate the skin — such as baths and chlorinated pool swimming — for at least 12 hours after your spray tan.

8. Use a tan extender like Hempz to prolong your tan.

9. When you do shower, avoid using soap and shower only with warm (not hot) water to wash off the excess tan color.

To give the DHA enough time to fully set, it is recommended to wait a minimum of 4 hours after a sunless spray tanning session or 8 hours for optimal results. Showering sooner may diminish the intensity of the tan. If you tan using an Instant Cosmetic Bronzer, the Instant Cosmetic Color will wash off in the shower, but the color produced by the DHA will remain.

10. Keep your skin as moisturized as possible after your spray tan to increase the longevity of the tan and help you to avoid the tan wearing off in patches due to dry skin.

A Sunless Spray Tan can last up to 7 days depending on the formulation you choose and the condition of your skin.
