Before Your Tan
Shower, shave and exfoliate (using an exfoliation mitt) 24 hours prior to your appointment. No sugar scrubs please these products can leave a residue on your skin.
Showering too close to your appointment time could cause speckling where you have shaved or have enlarged pores.
Please stop using face products with retinol 3 days prior to your tan.
If possible, stop acne medications 3 days prior to tanning session and do not start using again until your tan starts to fade. Please consult your physician before stopping any medication. If this is not possible we may decide not to spray your face. 🙂 No biggie.
Do not use oil based body wash (ex. Dove, Olay, Bath and Body).
Wear loose fitting clothing (no yoga pants). Long sleeves and pants with sandals are best to avoid skin to skin contact.
Come to your appointment without lotion, deodorant or makeup.
During your tan you will be offered disposable undergarments. However, you are welcome to tan fully nude or bring your own swimwear or undergarments. The tanning solution used should wash right out of any clothing worn.
After Your Tan
For normal developing tans, please allow 12 hours before rinsing.
For rapid developing tans, please allow 3 hours before showering.
Avoiding sweating or exposure of moisture prior to your first rinse post tan.
Your first shower should be a lukewarm rinse only. Your tan will still be developing for up to 24 hours.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Moisturize using an oil, paraben and fragrance free lotion This will help to keep your tan longer.
