We provide two solution options:


  1. Classic 8-Hour Solution: The Classic 8-Hour Solution is the traditional spray tan solution containing a set DHA percentage. It is unable to develop to a higher percentage and will stop at the designated percent after 8 hours.  Because of this, you can sleep with it on and rinse off at your convenience, as long as it's after 8 hours but before 24 hours.
  2. Rapid Solution: Unlike the classic solution, the Rapid Solution does not contain a set DHA percentage and can develop to a higher DHA percentage the longer it is left on. This solution should be rinsed off within 5 hours or less, according to the specified time provided by your technician. Typically, the washing time ranges between 2-4 hours post-application, with the exact time communicated during your appointment. Because this solution will not stop darkening until it is rinsed off, it's crucial to wash it off at the correct time to prevent over-development and achieve a natural hue.

Additional Details:

  • The rapid tan initially appears very dark, but once you remove the bronzer, it will noticeably lighten. The color will continue to evolve over the next 24 hours, revealing the final shade.
  • The 8-hour solution provides consistent color, with a less drastic change during the 24-hour development period.
  • Both solutions are part of the custom color service, and your specialist will assist you in selecting the most suitable one.


After your tan, the recommended time to wait before showering depends on the type of solution used and your schedule for the day. Our expert technicians will ask about your plans and preferences to determine the best option for you.


For our Rapid Solution, which should be rinsed off within 5 hours or less, the washing time typically ranges between 2-4 hours post-application. Your technician will provide the exact time during your appointment to ensure a natural hue and prevent over-development.


If you get the Classic 8-Hour Solution, you should leave it on for a minimum of 8 hours. You can choose to sleep with it on and rinse off at your convenience, as long as it's after 8 hours but before 24 hours. This solution offers flexibility and ease, allowing you to fit it into your schedule.


Yay!! You've locked in a date with destiny, and we can't wait to meet you! Get ready to glow from head to toe with our top-notch spray tan tips!


  • Start by exfoliating! Scrub away dead skin the day before your tan appointment to reveal smooth skin for the tan to adhere to. Ensure to address any unwanted hair too!
  • Time your daily shower carefully! Exfoliate at least 4 hours before your tan session to allow the tan to bond effectively. Avoid exfoliating or shaving on the day of your tan.
  • Avoid using lotions and fragrances! Refrain from applying moisturizers, perfumes, or other products after your last shower before tanning. They can interfere with the tan's application.
  • Plan your beauty treatments strategically! Schedule waxing, manicures, and other treatments before your tan, not after. Post-tan treatments can fade your tan prematurely.
  • For a radiant glow, schedule your tan 2 days prior to your important event.


WooHoo! You aced your appointment and are now ready to flaunt those Tan Lines! To keep that sun-kissed look, nailing the after tan routine is key. Here are some top tips to ensure your tan stays on fleek:

  • Hold off on showering or breaking a sweat for the next eight to ten hours post-spray tan (or one to four hours for rapid sprays) to let that tan set in like a boss.
  • Say no to shaving for the first 24 hours after tanning to avoid premature peeling, and if you must shave, use a fresh blade.
  • After your tan, go for a quick rinse with warm water only for about 60 seconds - skip the soap to keep that glow intact!
  • When showering, be gentle - use your hands instead of rough scrubbers to avoid fading your tan too soon.
  • Choose a gentle, sulfate-free body wash to keep your tan looking fab. Steer clear of harsh soaps like antibacterial soaps, Dove, Dial, Ivory, Nivea, and Oil of Olay, as they can strip your spray tan.
  • Moisturize your skin twice daily with a tan-friendly moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and your tan looking sharp. And don't forget, handle your skin with love and care!


Maintaining that sun-kissed glow involves a combination of factors that determine how long your tan will last. Starting with the preparation and aftercare steps, your skin's natural renewal cycle, and your daily activities all play a role in the longevity of your tan. 


Your tan will gradually fade as your skin cells naturally shed, typically lasting anywhere from 5 to 10 days. During this time, your skin is in a constant state of renewal, and as old skin cells are replaced with new ones, your tan will gradually fade away. 


To extend the life of your tan, it's essential to follow a good skincare routine and avoid activities that can speed up the shedding process. When your tan starts to fade, using an exfoliating mitt can help remove the remaining color, allowing you to start fresh with your next tanning session. 


So, get ready to enjoy your sun-kissed look for about a week of fabulous radiance! And when it's time to refresh your tan, be sure to schedule your next tanning session promptly for a continuous sun-kissed look that lasts!


Dress appropriately and ALWAYS wear dark colors! Opt for loose clothing and slip-on shoes for your tan appointment to maintain the golden glow. Consider wearing comfortable sweats, a cozy oversized sweatshirt, soft slippers, and for the ultimate comfort, no bra! Loose clothing is key to avoid friction that can cause the tan to rub off. 


When it comes to attire for your tan session, the choice is yours! Feel free to wear whatever makes you most comfortable. Embrace your individual style, whether you prefer dressing up or down. While tan lines are expected, we believe they add a touch of allure to your tan experience. Whether you are pro tan lines or no tan lines, there are options for everyone.


For women:

  • Tops are not mandatory, but if you opt to wear one, a small bikini or bralette top is recommended to avoid prominent tan lines.
  • For bottoms, a small bikini bottom or panty that creates a flattering tan line is suggested. The key is to choose something that you feel good wearing, as you will also appreciate the tan it leaves behind.


These are some styles we recommend:

For sexy, low coverage - a little g string is the way to go! We personally love one with a small triangle on the back as we find it is the most attractive.

For a little bit more coverage, we recommend a classic thong.

Finally, for a more covered look we recommend a cheeky panty.

You can choose to go commando, but according to FDA guidelines, we strongly advise wearing bottoms. Besides, nothing beats flaunting a sexy tan line!


For men: You are expected to wear some form of bottoms - we suggest snug-fitting boxers, a speedo, or even a male thong.


We are thrilled to hear that you love your tan as much as we do! At SD Tan Lines, we strive to provide you with the best tanning experience possible, and we're delighted that we've succeeded in giving you a glow you adore.


When it comes to maintaining your tan, you can visit us as often as your skin cycle allows. It's best to wait about a week before applying a new spray tan to avoid layering on top of an old one. If there's still some tan remaining before your next appointment, simply exfoliate it off during your preparation routine.


For those looking to maintain a continuous tan and radiant skin, we offer a monthly membership that includes 4 tans per month at an irresistible price. This membership ensures that you always have a fresh, sun-kissed look without breaking the bank.


As our schedule tends to fill up fast, we recommend snagging your next spot before saying goodbye at each appointment. This way, you can ensure that you always have a spot reserved for your next tanning session.


Thank you again for choosing SD Tan Lines for your tanning needs. We can't wait to see you again soon!
