Before your spray tan appointment:

 

• Exfoliation is essential to achieve a flawless, natural looking tan.  Thoroughly exfoliate to remove any dead skin 24+ hours before your appointment. This will also help your tan last longer, and fade more evenly.  We recommend this is done the day before your spray tan, to allow your skins natural oils to restore.

​

• Hair removal should be done at least 24 hours before your spray tan. Waxing should ideally be done 48+ hours before.

​

• Avoid using any oil based products a couple of days before your tan.  These can cling to your skin and act as a barrier, stopping your tan from developing in some areas.

​

• If you are having a manicure or a pedicure, ensure your appointment is before your spray tan.

​

• For your spray tan appointment, ensure you have no deodorant, makeup, perfume or body lotions on. These will mix with the solution and achieve unwanted colours, uneven results, and will act as a barrier to the tan.

 

After your spray tan appointment:

 

• You will have a lovely bronzed glow immediately after your spray tan has been applied. This is not your tan, this is the cosmetic guide bronzer, which must be rinsed off from 1.5 hours after your spray tan. We will discuss the wash off time with you, which will depend on your skin tone and desired results. Wear loose, dark clothing after your appointment, to avoid smudging your bronzer. After rinsing the bronzer off, your tan will then develop over the next 18-24 hours.

​

• Stay dry until you shower. It is important to not get any water on you until you have rinsed your bronzer off.

​

• Before rinsing, stay cool, avoid any exercise and any strenuous activities which may make you sweat. 

​

• When rinsing your bronzer off, have a very quick, water only shower.  Avoid washing your hair and using any products, which could cause streaks in your tan.

​

• After showering, gently pat your skin dry with your towel, do not rub your skin.

 

• Starting from the day after your spray tan, it is essential that you moisturise often with a rich cream, to prolong your tan and help to keep it even.

​

• You can expect your tan to last 7-10 days with good care.  Long hot baths, spas, swimming pools and exfoliating products will affect the length of your tan.
