Before your tanning session: - Please ensure you remove any tan you may already have on.
- Shower & exfoliate your skin, paying particular attention to elbows, knees, feet and any problem areas. This will slough off any dead skin cells and give your tan a good base to start and should help your tan last longer.
- DO NOT apply moisturisers, deodorants, oil based products or perfume!
- Any waxing or shaving MUST be carried out a MINIMUM of 24 hours before tan appointment.
- Wear loose dark clothing, or as I come to you a simple bath robe to slip on after will do fine.
- Avoid silk, wool and leather garments as tan will not wash out of these materials.
The session: - Wear swimwear or underwear if desired.
- Ensure underwear is black/dark as tan may stain lace & elastic.
- You will be provided with sticky feet to keep the bottoms of your feet tan-free.
- You will be dry to dress straight after.
Aftercare: - Do not touch skin whilst developing to avoid tanned fingers.
- Do not shower for 8 hours after treatment.
- Pat dry with towel, do not rub.
- Avoid water on skin whilst developing (rain, spilt drink etc).
- Avoid heavy exercise or any perspiration for 8 hours.
- Moisturise body daily to maximise duration of tan, ensure your moisturiser is oil-free.
- Don't worry if you see colour washing off from your first shower – this is normal. What you see washing off is the cosmetic bronzer. What is left is a beautiful, sunless tan.
- Make sure you use a mild soap or body wash that contains no oils.
