Pre-Tan Prep
*Exfoliate your skin the night before tanning to remove dead skin that would otherwise flake off. But, don’t overdo it! Your skin needs TLC.
*Wax a minimum of 24 hours prior to tanning
*Shave 8 hours before (or after) your post tanning shower. Use a sharp, clean razor, with a lubricating product.
Spray Day
*void wearing make-up and moisturizer – it acts as a barrier to the spray and keeps color from processing properly.
*Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and undergarments (spray solution will wash out of most fabrics, but may stain nylon, lycra and silk)
*If ‘sleeping in’ your tan, avoid pajamas that bind or have elastic which can rub away color.
PRESERVING your TAN… with a healthy skin regimen
*Wait at least 8 to 12 hours before showering!!
*Apply moisturizer morning and evening after your post-tan shower. Avoid moisturizers with AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) which promotes exfoliation.
*Avoid long, hot showers and baths, and scrubbing the skin. Choose a wash cloth that is as soft as possible and pat your skin dry. Excessive friction may prematurely fade your tan.
*Shave with a new sharp razor and lubricating product to avoid exfoliation in those areas.
