PRE and POST Tanning Tips:
To achieve the best results there are a few simple steps to follow before the tanning . As well as things you can do to
maximize the life of your tan, keeping the appearance looking its best.
Before You Tan:
Shower/bathe and exfoliate prior to the tanning session. Exfoliating prior to your appointment is the most important and crucial key step in
achieving the best tan. (Pay close attention to problem areas such as knees, elbows and feet.) If you fail to exfoliate properly, it can have a negative
impact on the results of the spray tan.
When bathing, use a soap/bath gel that you can see through (transparent). White bar soaps and thick/creamy bath gels can have ingredients that will
act as a barrier and can either neutralize the DHA’s reaction with the skin, or can result in uneven or splotchy tans. A Ph balancing soap is also a
good option to use when bathing prior to the tan.
Do not apply lotions, moisturisers, perfumes or anything with oil in it onto your skin before your spray tan. Use deodorant sparingly and little, to no
make-up is preferable. These products can act as a barrier to the tanning solution, causing an uneven tan. When we have you in the tanning room,
we will provide you with a barrier cream for your hands and feet protect your palms and to ensure a good blend and transition on the hands and feet.
Shaving, facials, manicures/pedicures, hair colouring, waxing, or any other hair removal procedures should be done at least one day prior to your
tanning session.
After You Tan:
Bring and wear loose-fitting, dark clothes and flip-flops immediately after the tanning session. Baggy T-shirts, sweat pants, long cotton sun dresses,
etc.
Avoid rubbing your skin with your hands until after showering.
Stay away from activities that will cause you to sweat or get wet. This includes exercising, being in excessive heat, saunas, sex, swimming, bathing
or showering, etc.
Avoid touching skin to skin while developing, such as crossing legs when wearing shorts - it can build up heat and transfer the tanning agent
resulting in a dark stripe on one leg, and a light stripe on the other. Another words, you can end up with a very uneven tan.
When the recommended development time has passed, rinse off in the shower and use warm water to rinse off the solution and bronzer. Only rinse
until you see the water is clear, then stop (this should only take a few minutes) - and pat dry. DO NOT MOISTURISE UNTIL THE TAN HAS
TOTALLY DEVELOPED. We recommend NOT to wait at least 12 hours after receiving your tan before moisturising to ensure it has fully
developed.
Continue to avoid bar soaps and body washes with heavy moisturisers. Transparent body washes will continue to keep the PH levels stable and will
result in a longer lasting, better appearance of the tan.
Moisturise! We cannot stress the importance of this step. Moisturise at least twice a day! Keeping your skin hydrated is key to extending the life
of your tan. Drink plenty of water, and stay hydrated inside and out. This will keep your tan radiant and will help with proper fading.
Avoid applying products to your skin that contain alcohol, mineral oils, or anything abrasive such as a facial scrub - as these products can dry your
skin, and wear the tan off prematurely.
Use a good sunscreen! Protect your skin. We have given you a great colour, now you can protect the skin from UV damage. Most sunscreen have a
moisturising affect as well.
