Tan Care
Shower, shave, and exfoliate at least 24 hours before your appointment. Please do not shower or shave the same day even if you feel you need to! It can greatly affect the outcome of your tan. Use an exfoliating mitt to scrub your entire body. Loofahs and washcloths are not enough. Please do not use body care products that contain mineral oil, parabens or sulfates. NO DOVE SOAP. Take care of all other beauty services prior to your tan appointment. This includes facial treatments, waxing, manicures pedicures, lashes etc. Skip lotion! Even if you have dry skin. I have a tan friendly lotion you can apply if necessary. I have wipes available for you to remove any make-up or deodorant. You'll need a blank canvas for the solution to apply flawlessly!
Women may tan completely nude if desired. Men will need to wear underwear or shorts. Remove all jewelry prior to your appointment. Wear loose, dark clothing and shoes. Leave the bras and leggings home! The type of solution you are tanned in will determine when you can get wet. This varies from 1-8 hours. During this time your tan needs to develop and you'll need to avoid getting wet. This means no showering or exercise. In the summer please don't plan any outdoor activities immediately after your tan. You do not want to sweat off the tan or cause it to streak. In the event there is rain please come prepared with an umbrella, closed toe shoes, long sleeves and long pants.
Your first shower will just be a rinse only. Gently use your hands like a washcloth and go over your entire body to remove the bronzer. Avoid using washcloths loofahs exfoliants during the life of the tan. That means soap on your hands only! Use a mild and moisturizing body gel. DO NOT USE DOVE, OIL OF OLAY, BATH AND BODY OR VICTORIA SECRET body products. You may shave but the more you shave the quicker the legs will fade. Moisturize your skin daily, more than once if possible. Skip skim firming or anti- aging lotions. They are generally alcohol based and known to fade a tan. Pat yourself dry, never rub with a towel.
Drink your water!! Hydrate yourself from the inside! Moisturize daily! Shower with a mild gel. Avoid washcloths, loofahs and exfoliants. If you are planning on swimming in a pool, ocean, hot tub be sure to do quick dips. The longer you soak in water, the more the tan will fade. Applying a waterproof lotion sunscreen during these water activities will help protect your tan. Spray tans will not protect you from the sun! WEAR SPF DAILY! Once your tan starts to fade you may exfoliate to remove the tan and prep your skin for your next one!
