For the Traditional SprayChic Airbrush Tan you should wait 24 hours after your session to shower. This will result in an even tan that will last up to 7 days. Don't be shocked when you see the cosmetic bronzer rinse off in your first shower. This is completely normal as that is the temporary color guide. Our most popular option is the Accelerated SprayChic Airbrush Tan for those that prefer to rinse off the cosmetic bronzer sooner. The Rapid solution that is used for the Accelerated SprayChic Airbrush Tan allows you to rinse off in 1-hour for a light tan, 2-hours for a medium tan or 3-hours for a dark tan. Your SprayChic Expert will review which timeline would be best for your skin type if you choose the Accelerated option. We highly recommend reading our blog post regarding the difference between the Traditional and Accelerated options, however we will chat about your specific situation and what may work best for you.
