Tanning Tips ...

One - Avoid using deodorant before your spray tan appointment as it provides a barrier to the spray tan's absorption and will react with the solution causing your skin to turn green.
​
Two -always shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to a spray tan appointment, as hair removal after a spray tan may remove or cause the tan to become blochy.
​
three- Wear dark, loose clothing to and from a spray tan appointment to avoid staining clothes. 
​
four - avoid activities that will cause excessive perspiring (sweating) for 12 hours after a spray tan.
​
five - Your tan professional will tell you when you can shower depending on the level of colour depth and your skin requirements, however, when showering, please avoid using soap and only shower with warm (not hot) water to wash off the excess tan.
​
six- Keep your skin moisturised the day after your spray tan, this will increase the longevity of the tan and help avoid the tan wearing off in patches.
​
seven- Exfoliate from head to toe the day prior to a spray tan, ensuring particular attention to dry areas such as your knees, elbows and ankles
​
eight- Wear underwear that you don't mind getting stained. Your tanning professional will offer you the use of disposable G-strings if you are concerned about staining your underwear.
​
nine- If you tint your eyebrows please tint the day before your spray tan to avoid the tint interfering with your spray tan.
​
ten- When showering off your spray tan, you may notice the water colouring, please don't panic, this colour is just the bronzer. After a shower, gently pat your skin dry and avoid vigorous rubbing when towel drying.
​
eleven - If you are having a spray tan for a special occasion, it is best to be sprayed one to two days before the event to ensure you're happy with your colour.
​
twelve- To prolong your spray tan, try not to use band-aids, pore strips or face masks, as they may remove tan as you rip or wash them off.
