Preparation and aftercare
Proper preparation and after care is the key to optimizing an spray Tan. Just as some people will treat leather with mink oil or other preparations to condition it against premature wear and discoloration, it is a great idea to exfoliate and condition the skin before and after an spray tan. Some lotions are designed for this and some can do more harm than good. Prima offers Skin Dance and other lotions made for this purpose.
Ideally, the skin should be exfoliated with an exfoliating scrub or glycolic product. Then it should be moisurized with the proper moisturizer approx. 4 hours prior to spraying so that it has conditioned the skin but is not a residue on the top of the skin. Moisturizing should be repeated again after the first shower, some eight hours later. Taking these steps insures the freshest, cleanest, longerlasting substratum (skin) and can mean the difference between your tan lasting 5 days or 10 or more days. Artists go to great lengths preparing the surfaces of canvas in order to insure works of art that will last longer.

Worth mentioning
Yes, chlorine will strip an spray tan quickly.

The best products in the wrong hands are worthless, train your people!

When sprayed deliberately, thicker, dryer skin like hands, feet, knees and elbows absorb more dha and appear orange. Premoisturize (as above) and only lightly mist those areas.
