Preparation and Aftercare Advice
Preparation Exfoliate thoroughly and moisturise the day before your tan is to be applied. This will remove dead skin and provide a new, smooth surface for your tan.Exfoliating helps to promote an even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan. Shave or wax and moisturise the night before your application NOT ON THE DAY. Remove contact lenses during your session. Remove make-up, moisturiser, perfume and deodorant before your application. Do not have a spray tan if you are pregnant or breast feeding (as a precaution). It is recommended that you wear dark loose fitting clothing. Solution washes out of most clothing very easily but could stain nylon and lycra materials, therefore dark coloured underwear is recommended. Be careful after your tanning appointment of wearing long or ankle boots as these can make your tan patchy on your legs. Aftercare Your tan takes 4 hours to sink completely into the skin and another 12 hours to fully develop, therefore Leave your tan on overnight if possible and have a shower in the morning (the later you leave it the better - remember your tan takes 12 hours to develop). This allows your tan to fully develop. Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan. Sandals are a good choice. Avoid applying moisturises or deodorants. Avoid wearing tight clothing for at least 5 hours. All swimming, showering and vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 5 hours as this can inhibit the development of your tan. Don't shave until 12 hours after your treatment. Don't sit on light coloured fabrics until you've showered or taken a bath as the colour guide can cause discolouration.Remember. When you take a shower or a bath you will probably see some colour wash off. Don't worry. This is quite normal as it is only the colour guide that the spray tan technician uses when the tan is applied. You will be left with a gorgeous tan.
