PREPARATION
Before your airbrush service exfoliate the day prior or a few hours before.
Make sure your body is free of make-up, moisturizer, and deodorant.
Please schedule your appointment after manicures or pedicures. We do not recommend nail services other than polish changes after your airbrush appointment. Soaking your feet or body in tubs typically removes the tan much faster.
Wear very dark loose-fitting clothes for after your appointment. Please no jeans or tank tops. Do not wear a bra after service.
In inclement weather please wear a jacket, long pants, and boots. You can not get wet or sweat for 8-10 hours after your airbrush service with the original solution or 2-5 hours with Express.
You may wear anything you would like during the session, going nude is completely acceptable.
Please note wearing any type of undergarment will leave a line.
Please consult a doctor prior to your session if you are pregnant.
All waxing and exfoliation must be done prior to your session, waxing will remove the solution and make it patchy.
THE SESSION
Please inform your technician of any skin problems, trouble spots, or any issues you may have had with other sunless tanning products.
The application time takes approximately 5-10 minutes, but plan on a total of 30 minutes for your appointment time.
Do not worry if your hands and feet appear lighter than the rest of your body. These areas are purposely sprayed lightly because they develop more intensely than the other areas of the body.
You may feel tacky after the session but it will only last for about an hour
*You may wear anything you would like during the service. Going topless or nude is also acceptable.
AFTER-TAN CARE
After your treatment, we recommend waiting 8-12 hours before your first post-treatment shower for our original solution.
For Express solution you must wait 2-5 hours to shower depending upon how dark you would like to be. The longer the solution stays on the darker your tan will become. Please do not exceed 6 hours without showering with our Express Solution.
The development of the airbrush tan is different in certain areas. The tan will even itself out after your first shower.
The bronzer you see initially after the service is not your tan it is a color guide. As your tan develops you may get darker in the 8-12 hour developing time. This is the solution developing underneath. After your first shower, you will be the same color as your color guide when you left Brazil Bronze Soho.
Please do not expose your skin to water, sweating or working out while your airbrush is developing.
Use sulfate-free soap only where necessary during your showers. Do not use Dove or cleansers that have oils in them.
Please avoid waxing after the service it will result in taking your tan off.
Brazil Bronze Soho strongly suggests moisturizing one to two times a day when your airbrush is on. Moisturizing correctly will extend your tan and make it fade evenly.
We do recommend our Brazil Bronze Glow Stretcher to keep your tan, It is free of sulfates and parabans which can fade your tan.
Swimming and soaking in pools, hot tubs, and saltwater dry out your skin and shorten the life of your tan. We do recommend using a sunblock lotion regularly to act as a barrier while in water.
Brazil Bronze solution is not a sunblock, please always apply sun protection with your airbrush on.
We can not guarantee the removal of solution out of all products or materials ex Leather, suede, etc.
We do not recommend any soaps, cleansers or lotions from any other brands
Avoid using any type of DHA product that has a self-tanner after our tan ex. Jergens, Clarins, Neutrogena, St. Tropez, Dove
Do not use any types of body oils to moisturize
Do not wax for at least 1 week after your service.
Do not get manicures or pedicures after your service, you may get polish changes after your service.
Using certain products prior and immediately after the tan may alter the outcome and consistency of fading. Ex Dove soap/shower gel products, Benzyl Peroxide, oils, hormonal medications, acids, chemical peels, etc
