Pre-Tan Preparation
24/48 Hours Before your Appointment
​Exfoliate
Focus on knees, elbows, hands, and other dry areas to remove previous tan, dead skin and create a smooth base.
​Hair Removal
Shave 24 hours before your tan, Wax 48 hours before a tan. It's really important you do not remove hair the night before or day of your appointment.
​Moisturise
Apply moisturiser the day before. Collagen & Meletonin boosting lotions work wonders.
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water to keep hydrated.
​Nails
Paint your fingernails and toenails before your session.
For your Appointment
Cleanse
Bathe or shower with oil-free soap to remove makeup, deodorant, or moisturiser. Do not reapply afterwards or wear these products to your appointment.
Top Tip: Keep skin clean and free of make-up, perfumes, moisturisers, and deodorants for your appointment.
Top Tip: A sunless tan won’t protect you in the sun—always use SPF to prevent burning.
After Care
Straight after your spray tan...
What to Wear
Loose, dark clothing and flipflops. Keep in mind tight underwear, clothing or shoes will cause tan lines or potential rub off.
​Development
Let your tan develop for the recommended time.
It takes 8 hours for the tan to develop unless you are having an express treatment.
The full finished look will develop 24 hours after your appointment.
You will see the best results on days 2 - 5, so consider this for your special occasion/event.
​Exercise and Water
Avoid sweating and getting wet. No bathing, swimming, exercise or getting caught in the rain!
​Showering
Once developed, shower (with no soap) until the water runs clear, use your hands to evenly wash off the bronzer then gently pat your skin dry with your towel.
​
Maintaining your Glow
​
Bathing
Try to avoid long baths, hot tubs or swimming (but enjoy your holidays, just bear in mind your tan will fade quicker after doing these activities.)​
Gentle Exfoliation & Moisturising
