FOLLOW THESE STEPS
EXFOLIATE
"...good spray tans come to those who exfoliate..."
It doesn’t need to be harsh, light gentle exfoliation on the days leading up to your appointment works best. Focus on dry areas such as knees, elbows, wrists and ankles to ensure dead skins cells and old fake tan are fully removed.
DO NOT SHAVE ON THE DAY OF YOUR SPRAY TAN
Shave NO LESS than 24 hours before and book your wax 48 hours before a tan. Remember, we do not mind body hair, its natural! It's really important you do not remove hair the day of your appointment. Freshly shaven skin allows cosmetic bronzer to sit in hair follicles creating dark dots on your skin. Most shavers have soap strips combined with the up/down motion of shaving causes potential stripe marks.
​
MOISTURISE & HYDRATE
Do not apply lotions, oils or creams on the day and make sure they are fully rinsed off your skin for your spray tan. Products like these act as a barrier and can stop the tan developing. Rather, apply moisturiser on the days leading up to your appointment. Skin hydration is how your spray tan lasts & starts from within (so smash those water drinking goals)!
​
CLOTHING, JEWELLERY & WATCHES
Tight clothing such as leggings, bras, sports wear and socks cause indentations that can cause tan lines or streaks during development. The annoying thing is you can't always see this during application so be a little conscious of this! The same goes for watches especially if you regularly wear one. (Brides remove that apple watch a few weeks before your tan!)
SHOWERING
On the day, please do not shower or bathe less than 2-3 hours before your spray tan! This is very important because your pores open and your skin needs to re-adjust after cleansing before applying tan. The skin can also hold on to extra moisture which affects application & development. Use oil-free soap to remove makeup, deodorant, or moisturiser. Do not reapply afterwards or wear these products to your appointment.
​
​BEAUTY APPOINTMENTS (ESPECIALLY FOR BRIDES)
Your spray tan needs to be the last beauty treatment you have before your holiday or event. Consider booking beauty treatments at least 48 hours beforehand. This includes; Eyebrows, Manicures, Pedicures, Hair Appointments, Facials, Waxing, Dermaplane, Eyelashes & Massages. This is because products used during these treatments can effect development or even strip your flawless glow! Aesthetics such as Filler, Botox or facial treatments such as chemical peels need to be fully healed and settled before we can spray tan you
​
WHAT TO WEAR
Whatever you feel comfortable in! We can provide disposable G-Strings, nipple covers, hair ties and hair covers. You can wear underwear, bikini's, swimming costumes, go topless or even nude! Just consider your tan lines for events and outfit choices! Cosmetic bronzer in the solutions can transfer onto clothing.
