Tanning Preperation is Important, please remember these points.
The day Before your Spray Tan
Exfoliate the night BEFORE your tanning appointment
This will rub off dead skin cells enabling a smooth even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan. I recommend using Exfoliating Gloves & Sanex Body Wash.
Be careful, as some exfoliating products & shower gels contain oil which stick to the skin and can affect your Tan.
Moisturise immediately after Exfoliating
Overnight you will produce a new layer of skin ready to be tanned.
If you are unsure what moisturiser to use after exfoliating, I recommend going into your local chemist and asking for a tub of AQUAEOUS CREAM.
Additional Information
Shave or Wax at least 24/48 hours before tanning. Please ask for a skin patch test if you have hyper sensitive skin.
Acrylic/Gel nails – please paint them with clear nail varnish to prevent staining or cover with some vaseline.
On the Day of your Spray Tan
Please shower as normal in the morning to remove the moisturiser.
AVOID wearing any products on your skin. This includes make-up, deodorant, perfume and moisturiser on the face and body. Do not use facial wipes with added moisturiser and avoid re-showering immediately before your spray tan session.
I do not provide disposable pants or bras for your spray tan.
My reason behind this, is that I want you to feel as comfortable as possible when you stand in front of me, especially for the first time or even your first ever Spray Tan. It is entirely up to you what you wear. It can be anything from a full bikini, shorts, swim suit or if you DARE – Naked.
After your Spray Tan
What to wear
Wait at least 5 minutes after spraying before getting dressed. I recommend a long sleeved Pyjama Top & Bottoms or a loose fitting tracksuit as tight clothing will cause the tan to rub off during the development stage.
Wait a minimum of 8 hours before washing.
This will allow the tan maximum time to develop. Rub shower gel into your hands and make sure that you go over your whole body quickly in the shower or take the shower head down and rinse off your legs first, then rinse the top half.
Wash as normal using your hands and shower gel only.
Pat towel dry after every shower and then moisturise
If you are not showering until the morning. Please wear loose gloves in bed to prevent hands accidentally touching the body during sleep. I would also suggest tucking your Pyjama bottoms into socks.
Please try and avoid water & take care when brushing your teeth if the Tan is not fully dry.
Additional After care Information
Moisturise every morning & evening – especially after showering.
Do not take long baths or go swimming as this will fade the tan.
Do not excessive exercise and perspire immediately after the spray.
Remember that the tan does not have any SPF factor so wear sun protection as usual.
