The Lavish Tan Story
Lavish Tan™ was founded in 2005, when every solution on the market was totally orange and smelled awful. The founder worked at a high-end salon in Beverly Hills throughout college where her spray tan career began. Paris Hilton, Heidi Klum, Lindsay Lohan and so many other celebrities who were clients of the salon were paying $250+ per spray tan and looked totally orange! She thought, "If people are spending so much money and still can't get a good spray tan, where can you get one?" She realized the problem was the solution. This is when her quest to create the perfect solution began.
The idea came from the oxidization process of a banana. You leave a banana on the counter, it turns brown over time. Why not replace the orange ingredient, the beta carotene, with something that's brown? She took this idea to a cosmetic chemist she found through Linkedin, who was previously employed by Neutragena, worked side-by-side with him for 9 months and eventually created Lavish Tan™ Signature Solution in 2010. In the end, the banana idea didn't work, but the oxidization of an apple worked! The color of their solution is naturally brown, customizable, and also smells AMAZING!

After Care
The period right after getting the tan put on is the most critical for “being careful”.
Before your first shower
*Do NOT get wet. Be careful of rain, pets licking, dishes, drinks, food, etc. Any location you get wet, when you shower for the first time will come out a different color and become blotchy.
*Avoid sweating (even light perspiration). +Do Not apply anything on your skin.
*Wear loose, dark clothing.
During this period, the tanning bronzers will begin to look darker than your desired color. Do not panic and shower earlier than the discussed time! When you take the first shower, the bronzing makeup will wash off and a natural tan will be revealed underneath.
1st shower process for Signature Solutions
With this option, you can use soap. Rinse very thoroughly, making sure to still be gentle. Use your hands to guide the bronzer off of your skin to prevent streaks. Your water should be running completely clear before getting out. You can resume your normal routine as usual (makeup, workouts, deodorant, etc) after your first shower.
1st shower for Express Solutions
With this option, you can Not use soap. Rinse very thoroughly, making sure to still be gentle. Use your hands to guide the bronzer off of your skin to prevent streaks. Your water should be running completely clear before getting out. You will not look tan after the first shower, but do not panic, this is all part of the process. Do not apply lotion! Your color will develop over the next 24 hours. Once you have achieved your desired color you may begin moisturizing. This will be anywhere between 10-24 hours after the first shower. We also suggest keeping excessive sweating to a minimum for 10-24 hours after your tan until color has been achieved.
