Any gel-based body washes work best. Showering should be done at least FOUR hours prior to tanning to allow your pH levels to neutralize.

+ Rinse In Lukewarm Water With No Soap | This is just a rinse off. No body products such as body wash, use your hands or a wash cloth to help wash off the bronzers.

+ Wait Until Your Color Is Fully Developed To Moisturize | Tans typically take 24 hours to fully develop, you want to give it the full processing tan before applying any products. This is why it is ideal to get sprayed 2-3 days before your event.
