Before & After Care
Pre-Tan Preparation
Most important: Absolutly NO DOVE soap of any kind!!!!!! (it leaves a film on your skin which makes the solution bead up and run!)
~Exfoliate your skin the night before. This promotes an even coverage and lengthens the duration of your tan by removing dead skin.
~Wax a minimum of 24 hours before your tanning appointment or shave 8 hours before or after post tanning shower
~Remove or avoid wearing make-up and moisturizer as this acts as a barrier to the spray and stops the process from working properly.
~ Wear dark loose fitting clothing and undergarments to your tanning appointment. The cosmetic bronzer may rub off on clothing. It will wash out of most fabrics but may stain nylons, lycra & silks.
Maintaining Your Tan
~ Wait at least 8-12 hours before washing.
~Apply moisturizer morning and evening after your post tan shower. Avoid moisturizers with AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) because they promote exfoliation.
~ Avoid long, hot showers and baths and scrubbing the skin. If you use a wash cloth when bathing, choose one that is as soft as possible. Excessive friction on the skin may fade your tan prematurely.
~Chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs can remove or shorten the longevity of your tan.
~Take care when exercising as friction and excess sweat may cause your tan to rade prematurely or unevenly.
