The FlexExpress® is a revolutionary upgrade to our current formulas that allows it to function as a Standard Tan or Express Tan. We still have the same four Elixir options as we did previously, but the shower time options are much more flexible. It can be showered off as early as an Express Tan or it can be left on as long as a Standard Tan. The FlexExpress® can be rinsed off as soon as 1 hour post-session and stops developing after 8-hours post session. Leaving it on for over 8 hours isn’t a problem!

You can shower as soon as 1-hour post session or any time after that. If you shower within 8 hours of your session, we recommend a warm water rinse only (no soap) and refrain from applying lotions or cosmetic products to your skin, as your tan is still developing. If you shower 8+ hours after your session, we recommend using soap. You may workout/sweat any time after your initial rinse/shower.

It is best to wear (or bring a change of) dark, loose fitting clothing and slip-on shoes. (There is cosmetic bronzer in the solution and there is a chance that it can rub off on clothing. It washes out of most materials, but it is better to be on the safe side and not wear anything light in color.) Flip flop sandals are available upon request at all S+B locations.  In addition, many of our locations offer a curated selection of dark, loose fitting clothing that is ideal to wear after a tan. Some apparel items are also available for purchase in our online shop!

Ladies, you are welcome to wear as little or as much as you are comfortable wearing- just keep unwanted tan lines in mind! (We have disposable thongs available for a $1.00 if needed.) Gentlemen, we request that you wear underwear or swimwear.

This depends on several factors including your skin type, skin cycle, lifestyle, and care. It should last for the minimum of a week and has the potential to last as long as two weeks. The best thing that you can do to increase the longevity of your tan is to apply products from the S+B Sunless Tanning Collection once a day. Also, try to avoid activities that speed up your skin’s natural exfoliation process. Keep in mind that long showers/baths, hot tubs, heavy sweating, and swimming in saltwater and/or chlorine all tend to dry out your skin.

This is due to several reasons. First, facial skin is thinner than skin found on other parts of the body. The face is also more exposed to the environment and endures more frequent washing. In addition, makeup, anti-aging creams, astringents, etc. tend to break down the tan more quickly. We recommend the S+B Sunless Tanning Water and/or S+B Sunless Tanning Glow Drops for ongoing maintenance or signing up for one of our Signature memberships (The Single, The Double or The Triple membership) as they offer complimentary face sprays!

Yes, we will assist you picking the right Elixir for your skin tone. However, if you are new to spray tanning, we suggest selecting a lighter shade (Elixir 1 or Elixir 2) for the first session.

Unfortunately, it does not, so please remember to wear SPF! We recommend the S+B Tinted Mineral Sunscreen.

We do not recommend getting a spray tan if skin is sunburnt or peeling. It is best to way until the sunburn has completely faded and/or the peeling has stopped before getting a tan.

Dry skin may cause the tan to fade unevenly.  We recommend that you moisturize daily for at least a week leading up to your tanning session and continue to moisturize regularly after your initial post-session rinse/shower. We recommend S+B Hocoba Oil®.

The active ingredient, DHA, has never been tested extensively on pregnant or breastfeeding women. We simply request that clients ask their doctor for an approval before they book a session.

Yes, however clients under the age of 18 require a parent/guardian present at the time of the waiver signing.

Due to the fact that spray tans only affect the outermost layer of dead skin cells, it is not uncommon for sweating or natural exfoliating to cause the "tanned" skin to rub off, as our skin cells are constantly turning over. The reason that we don't see this with a UV tan is due to the fact that UV rays affect our live skin cells, which don't live on the outermost layer and therefore are not the first cells to slough off when our body sheds them.
