Preparing
for your spray tan
Preparation is the key to a perfect result. Simply
follow these steps to achieve ultimate results:
1. Exfoliate thoroughly the night before your tan.
Remember to shave or wax the day before tanning to achieve optimum tanning
results. This will also allow your pores time to settle and close before the
tan is applied.
2. Do not apply deodorant, moisturiser or wear
make-up to your tanning session. These can act as a barrier to your tan and
prevent even absorption.
3. Wear loose, dark clothing and underwear to your
tanning appointment. The cosmetic bronzer in the tan may rub off slightly but
will easily wash out of most fabrics.
4. Wear open sandals or thongs to your tanning
appointment – no socks or sneakers!
IMPORTANT: Do not exercise on the
day of your tanning application. Excessive perspiration will adversely affect
the development of your tan.
Maintaining
your spray tan
1. Wait at least 8-12 hours before showering
following your tan application. You will see colour washing off the first time
you shower.
This is just the bronzing agent, not your tan.
(NB If you are using our Botanical Blend Quick Tan you MUST shower
2-3 hours after application. This tan is not designed to stay on
the skin for longer and doing so will result in orange tones and an unnatural result).
2. Apply a moisturizer as often as required
following your post tan shower. Your tan will gradually fade until your next
exfoliation and tanning session.Dry skin exfoliates quicker so moisturising
between sessions is essential to keep your tan alive.
3. Avoid long, hot showers/baths and pat skin dry.
Do not rub!
4. Chlorine will shorten the length of your tan so
avoid swimming pools
and spas following application.
