Preparation

Ideally, you should shower, shave/wax(24 hrs) prior to receiving your spray tanning services.  You should avoid applying lotions, perfumes, oils or heavy makeup or deodorants on the day of your tan. This promotes even coverage and helps to extend the life of your tan.

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! Leading up to your spray tan we recommend that you exfoliate. Avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products or in-shower moisturisers. These products can neutralize the DHA bronzing reaction within the skin. A sunless tan is developed on the outermost layer of your skin which is subject to a normal skin shedding cycle. At any given time, some layers of your skin may be ready to slough off while other parts may just have been renewed.  Exfoliating provides a consistent, fresh top layer of skin to serve as the base for your spray tan.  Be sure to pay special attention to areas of the body that are prone to rough skin patches like hands, knees, elbows, ankles and feet.

We also recommend that you schedule manicures, pedicures, facial services before you have your spray tanning services.

It is best to wear dark, loose fitting clothing and undergarments to your appointment.  The cosmetic bronzer will rub off on your clothing, but will wash out of most fabrics. Try to avoid wearing delicate fabrics such as silk, linens or nylons.

Maintenance

After receiving your tanning application services, it is extremely important to moisturise!  Proper moisturising prolongs the skin renewal cycle resulting in a long lasting sunless tan!

We suggest that you do not wet your skin for at least 20 minutes-8 hours after receiving your tanning services depending on the The Product. Ask your therapist if your not sure. void long, hot showers and soaking baths. Avoid scrubbing your skin using loofahs, washcloths or exfoliating gloves. When you shower, do not be alarmed if the initial cosmetic bronzer washes off.  This is part of the tanning process and your skin will continue to tan. The longer you wait to shower/bathe – the darker your tan will become.

Important Advice:

If you feel you have highly sensitive skin, or have any doubts, we recommend a small localised test spray to check your skin compatibility before having your full body sprayed.

We request that you notify us if you have any respiratory or pulmonary conditions or are pregnant or nursing.  We do not provide spray tanning services to women in their first trimester of pregnancy.

Important Advice:

If you would like to shave after receiving your services, we recommend using a new, sharp razor with a moisturiser and avoid using shaving creams or oils.

We also recommend that you do not exercise or perspire excessively between your tanning services and showering—this could lead to streaking, fading or blotchiness.

Chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs can remove or shorten the lifespan of your spray tan.

Our product does not provide any sun protection and does not contain sunscreen. We recommend visiting a dermatologist on a regular basis and strongly suggest you apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn whenever you will be participating in outdoor activities.
