48 - 24 Hours Prior To your Spray Tan
Hair Removal
Any waxing needs to be done 48 prior to your spray tanning appointment. The bikini area is very sensitive and needs time to recover, and for the pores to close so that you get a golden fabulous tan.
Nails
Schedule your mani / pedi before you have your spray tanning appointment.
Not to worry, your spray tan will not stain your new nail colour.
Scrub That Skin
Exfoliating your skin is the absolute key to a great spray tan. Removing dead skin cells with a SHIBUMI Kessa exfoliation mitt and a gentle scrub for a few days leading up to your tan is ideal.
Balance the Skin pH
If you have an oily skin, enjoy a bath the day before your spray tan, add Bath Bombs to your bath to help balance your skins PH levels. A skin that is either too oily or too dry can result in a tan that is patchy and uneven.
Shave What You Need To Shave
With 24 hours to go before your spray tanning appointment, you need to shave whatever you normally shave. Shaving close to or immediately before your appointment can cause imperfections in the outcome of your spray tan.
Directly Before Your Spray Tan
Time
Arrive or be ready at least 15 min before your appointment time, so that you can be properly prepared for your appointment.
What To Wear
Bring loose dark clothing to wear after your spray tanning appointment to avoid excessive skin contact and visual rub off.
Do not wear tight fitting jeans, pants, shorts, or light synthetic fabrics to your appointment or after your tan.
Makeup And Body Products
If you are wearing makeup remove it with baby wipes or a cloth and warm water. Do not wear any lotions, oils, deodorant or perfumes. Wearing make up and body products will affect the colour outcome of the tan on you face.
Your Hair
Tie your hair up and away from your face and neck. You will be given a sexy hairnet to cover your hair.
Stand Ready
Remain in your underwear, change into your bikini, C-String or into the supplied disposables. You may also stand in the nude if you feel comfortable. Remember where there is clothing there is a tan line.
After Your Spray Tan
Wait To Shower
Wait at least 8 hours to shower or to sweat following your tanning appointment. After 8 hours jump in the shower for a nice warm water rinse. Remember to PAT yourself dry.
Use Lotion Like It Is Your Job
After every shower you need to apply a body lotion to keep you skin hydrated and your tan looking great. Dry Skin? Switch it up with a body butter to help prevent your skin drying out and the tan from fading with an uneven look.
Pool Side Rules
Only 24 hours after having your tan feel free to jump in. When done swimming have a fresh water rinse and pat dry and apply body lotion to your skin to prevent dry skin and your spray tan from fading.
Facial Treatments
Any type of exfoliating will remove the tan faster than normal. Wait until you are ready to remove and prepare for the next spray tan before you break out the masks and body scrubs again.
SPF Is Your New BFF
Wear sun screen if you are headed outdoors, just stick with the lotion kind of SPF. Remember exposing your skin to the harsh sun will dry out and damage your skin, so remember to moisturize very well after.
