Tanning Tips

Here are some Skin Palette airbrush tanning tips!

Preparation: The week of your session

• Exfoliate! One of the most important things to do prior to airbrush tanning. Only use an abrasive exfoliate up to 3 days prior to your session as this will create abrasions that will interfere with the evenness of the application. Try Infinity Sun’s non-abrasive body polisher.
• Keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing and drinking lots of water.

Preparation: The day of your session

• Shower the morning of your airbrush tanning session
• Shave (up to 6 hours before) or wax (up to 24 hours before)
• DO NOT wear lotion, makeup, perfume or deodorant before your application as these act as barriers
• It is recommended that you wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and flip-flops if possible. Tight clothing can rub the tan off in some areas. Avoid wearing socks after the session.

After your Appointment:

• Please wait at least 8- 12 hours before showering. It is recommended to wait until the following morning before showering.
• When showering, try to avoid taking excessively hot showers, scrubbing or exfoliating. Try to use your hand instead of a washcloth. Also, use a body wash or shower gel, these products contain less alkaline than regular bar soap. Pat dry with a towel, no rubbing.
• Do not exercise after your appointment. Wait until the following day after your shower before perspiring.
• Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize after your post tan shower. Make sure the moisturizer is alcohol free. Moisturize daily thereafter and if possible twice daily. Hydrated skin is essential in maintaining a long lasting tan because it slows the process of natural skin exfoliation.
• Do not swim. Hot tubs and swimming pools will fade your tan. If you must swim, use a waterproof sunscreen to help seal your sunless tan in.
• Use the Infinity Sun aerosol to touch up the face, hands and feet between sessions.
