// WARM WATER RINSE //
After waiting the designated amount of time rinse off using lukewarm water only. Do not use any products during the rinse.
When rinsing, the cosmetic bronzer will come off. Use your hands and gently rub your entire body to ensure you get all of the bronzer off of your skin. Rinse until the water in the bottom of the shower becomes clear.

Pat dry with a towel- do not rub!
You will be significantly lighter post rinse which is normal!
Do not apply any products to your skin after your rinse.
// SOAP SHOWER //
You can shower regularly 24 hours from your rinse. Over those 24 hours the active ingredient in the spray tan solution, DHA, will fully develop and you will see your true tan results.
// WORKING OUT //
You can resume after your first soap shower. If you sweat pat dry - do not rub!
MAINTAINANCE
// MOISTURIZE //
1-2 times daily with a spray tan friendly moisturizer and drink your water! The KEY to a long lasting tan is staying hydrated from the inside out!
