Before your tan
-
Shave or wax 24-48 hours before appointment to allow your pores to close up.
-
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!!
-
Moisturize 24 hours before your appointment.
-
Shower before your appointment with only water, no soaps or body washes to ensure your skin is nice and clean.
-
After your last shower before your appointment do NOT apply anything to your body, no creams, deodorants or perfumes of any kind.
-
Wear loose dark clothing to your appointment, only wear thongs or slides on your feet. Socks or other shoes will ruin your tan.
After your tan
-
When you leave your appointment be super careful not to wet your tan until you have your first shower after your recommended wait time.
-
Still do not put on any creams, deodorants or perfumes until after your first shower. Also avoid any sport or exercise that will make you sweat, this will ruin your tan.
-
After your recommended wait time, remember to shower with lukewarm water for only 45 seconds - 1 minute. Whatever you do, do NOT turn your shower off before you have made sure you have rinsed your entire body - otherwise you will be left looking streaky.
-
Your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after your first shower. After then you may continue showering as normal.
-
Moisturize after every shower to keep your skin hydrated and glowing - this will help your tan last as long as possible.
-
AVOID - Swimming and bathing for long periods of time. This may cause your tan to flake and fade.
-
Remember that your spray tan does not protect you in the sun. So if out and about on a sunny day please apply sunscreen to protect yourself.
