Tan Care
How to make your tan last!
Pre Tan Care
Shower the morning of your session, do not use bar soap , shower gel is best. Avoid Dove and oil based products.
Do not use lotion or deodorant the day of your session, if you must use a light moisturizer only use it on areas that tend to be very dry. Deodorant can react to the DHA in the tanning solution and turn your arm pits green! Baby powder could be a alternative.
Using a loofa and shower gel only remove your dead skin. Pay attention to areas with thick skin such as elbows, knees and heels. You do not need to use speciality scrubs, they can actually slow the tanning process if it leaves a film on your skin.
Shave 24 hours prior to your session to allow time for your pores to close.
Post Tan Care
At least 8 hours after your session you may rinse off your tan. You will see cosmetic bronzers rinsing away...don't worry you are not losing your tan in fact it is still not done building yet. You're tan will continue to build for 18-24 hours post session. You may use soap on you're "hot spots". Wait 24 hours to shower as normal. Remember exfoliating is going to fade you're tan so for the next week be gentle with you're skin in the shower and you tan will last the desired 7-10 days.
Apply lotion at least 2 times a day. You may purchase a tan extender from us as well to help prolong your tan. Prefered products are:
Hempz - Avail for Purchase at Session
Shea Moisture
Aveeno
Norvell
The Painted Lady Spray Tans Tan Extender - Avail for Purchase at Session
Shaving is a form of exfoliating. If you must shave be gentle, be careful not to remove your tan. I recommend you use hair conditioner on your legs as a shaving cream alternative as it doesnt contain harsh alcohol which can dry and fade.
What our clients have to say
This is the best way to be sprayed tanned. Do not use a booth or a tanning bed ever again. The color took to my skin very well and it looks amazing. Jenn has a reasonable price which everyone could afford and great products! She is great at what she does. I love it thank you The Painted Lady Spray Tans.
I recommend The Painted Lady to anyone that is looking for the most AMAZING tan possible! They are always excellent and take care of me and my girls!
I had an absolutely amazing experience. I was completely comfortable with Jenn. She made sure that she explained everything that she was doing and why she was doing it. I absolutely love my color!!!!! I will definitely be bringing my wedding party to her!
This was my first time spray tanning with a personal service and Jen gives you her full attention. She makes you feel completely comfortable (in her space, towel service, being almost naked in her presence!) and pays close attention to detail. She works diligently and doesn't rush through the process. She explains the entire process thoroughly. I was not feeling well on my visit and she was very patient with me. I love my tan and will definitely return before my upcoming trip to Florida! Thanks Jen😊
Absolutely love my tan! Looks super natural and the whole process was super easy, laid back and enjoyable. Feeling like a goddess
I look amazing and I feel amazing too! I will def. be going back. She was even there to help post session when I THOUGHT My dog had created a tan emergency with my newly sprayed tan. Turns out, he didn't lol. I am so happy with the results and I will be going back in 7-10 days, and all summer. I'm going to choose healthy tan skin over baked skin this year!
