- Shower, Shave, & Exfoliate your skin - Scrub all over your body, including knees, ankles, feet, etc.
- Avoid using any lotion after your shower - If possible come to your session with clean dry skin. If you have abnormally dry skin you can use a moisturizer; however, make sure it is applied early enough that it will be fully absorbed. Also, make sure it is a water or aloe based lotion. NO oil based products.
- Remove any make-up prior to your session.
- Make sure to have all your other appointments (waxing, facials, pedicure, manicure,etc.) done before your airbrush tan.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION
AFTER YOUR SESSION
- Wear dark, loose fitting clothing directly after your session. Avoid wearing socks or anything tight around your skin. Bring sandals if possible.
- We recommend leaving our solution on for 8-10 hours if possible. During this time you are free to do your normal activities, however, avoid showering, working out, or anything that will get your skin wet until after this time.
- Moisturize twice daily with an aloe or water based product. DO NOT use oil based products; such as Dove and Oil of Olay.
- Bask recommends and carries several different extenders and lotions to help with your after tan. These products can help extend the life of your airbrush and are specifically designed to increase the duration of your tan and help keep it "fresh" looking throughout.
- Avoid jacuzzi's, hot tubs, chlorine, and very long hot showers. These all can drastically reduce the length of your airbrush tan.
- Don't use a washcloth or loofa in the shower. Just lather and rinse.

How is it different than the spray booths?
With bask’s pencil airbrush our solution comes out in a much finer mist than it does with the booths. This creates less overspray, meaning no streaking. Also the airbrush allows us to get every angle of your body. When we get to areas such as your wrists, knees and elbows we pull the airbrush gun further away to make your tan as even as possible.

How often should I get an airbrush?
You can visit bask for an airbrush tan just once for a special event or you can visit us once a week for a year-round glow.
For those of you dedicated to fitness routines and you wear the same sports bra you might see that your sweat is wearing off the airbrush faster in certain areas. If this is the case for you we recommend waiting until your tan has evenly faded before you have your next session. Gentle exfoliating should help speed up this process.
