Never tan after a surgery without a doctor's consent. Spray tanning can cause infection to open wounds. The solution may not absorb through scars. The spray tan may disguise the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Dry skin tends to absorb the tanning solution quickly. The skin also exfoliates faster so the tan may fade faster and more unevenly. 

The excess oils on the skin surface create a barrier to the DHA which may cause the tan to develop lighter.

Clients may have larger facial/back pores due to age or oily skin. This may cause excess solution to pool in the pore and look like blackheads. If a client has large pores, it's helpful for your tanning specialist to gently pat with a soft cloth or disposable towel as this will help blend the solution.  

These are caused by UV exposure and may darken slightly when spray tanned. Barrier cream can be applied prior to help. 

Although it's not likely to happen, this can happen. Should this happens, please seek medical attention immediately.

Wait 24 hours for it to fully develop after rinsing. If it's still not dark enough, we can try another solution at your next appointment. 

Try rinsing again, soak in a bath tub, or sit in a sauna/jacuzzi. These methods will remove some of the bronzer to lighten the color.

This happens because of dry skin. If the skin is not well hydrated or if you exfoliate unevenly it can cause the lizard looking skin. This can also happen if there is an old tan underneath. Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize the day before. 

The length of your spray tan depends on the maintenance afterwards. Most people notice their tan begin to fade after about 4 to 7 days. Moisturizing and staying hydrated are two important factors that help maintain color. Refrain from showing in hot water to prolong your tan as well.

NO SOAP. A really slow rinse with luke-warm water is best. Only use your hands to remove the bronzer, and focus your attention on your legs, behind your arms, in your ears, and around your nose. The #1 cause for streaks is that the bronzer was not rinsed off properly and can stain the skin for a few days, so it is important that the first rinse is thorough. Pat yourself dry with a soft towel afterwards.

Wipe the areas you don't wish to have solution with alcohol pads. The alcohol helps remove the solution. 

Wait 24 hours. For best results, use soap only on lady parts to avoid depleting the color. Also, minimal scrubbing and shaving since it can strip the tan away.

Yes, unfortunately in some instances the tan may stain your sheets or clothing but we recommend if you are sleeping in your tan while it develops that you wear full pajamas, to minimize the risk of staining your sheets. This also helps minimize skin to skin contact (ie: hands touching skin.) The bronzers are just like make up and can be removed from sheets/clothing and washed following the care instructions.

Tanning should not be done 1 to 2 weeks prior to a laser appointment, and 4 days post laser. 

New mommas, be cautious with carrying your baby right after the tan as the bronzer can get on the baby. For mothers who are breast feeding, it is recommended to spray tan with a full coverage bra to cover nipple area so that breast feeding can be easily done after without worry of bronzer getting on the baby. 

Our Dolce Glow solutions react well with these skin conditions, but a patch test is always recommended to clients with these types of skin conditions or sensitive skin in general. Our solution is dermatologist tested and allergy tested. 

Sometimes when on these types of medications there is a chance the color does not pick up on your skin. We recommend, if possible, to pause use a week prior to your spray tan appointment. 

This helps ensure that we are keeping you safe and knowledgable on getting a spray tan. 

Proper pre and post care is key to a long lasting tan. Make sure to review our pre and post care page for tips. 

This can be caused by excessive friction from clothing or by not allowing the tan to dry enough before getting dressed. 

Soak in baby oil for an hour then jump in the shower to exfoliate everything off skin. You can also shower with hot water and exfoliate the color off. 

Our spray tan specialist will help you decide on the best solution and/or tone for your the day of your tan. Based on the solution that is used, we will give you a timeline for rinse off.

Hop back in the shower and do another rinse. If that doesn't help, rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab will help remove the streak.Keep in mind that is will also remove the tan in the area that you apply it to. We do not recommend respraying if this occurs. 

Wait 12 hours AFTER your initial rinse before applying any kind of lotion. Moisturizing is key to prolong your spray tan so moisturizing twice daily will give you the best results. It is also important to stay hydrated and drinks lots of water throughout the day. 

YES! The most important thing to remember is that the solution does not contain any UV protection/sunscreen. We recommend using a water based SPF over your spray tan. You will still be able to develop a tan naturally in the sun while keeping your skin protected. 

No, you will not appear orange with a Dolce Glow Tan. We use the highest quality solution and guarantee that you will not turn orange.

You may work out as normal after the first rinse. We do however suggest that you refrain from wearing any tight clothing that can rub your fresh spray tan.
