PRE/POST TAN CARE PREPARATION
Exfoliate entire body with mild, oil free exfoliate 1 day prior to your tan.
For best results, schedule waxing appointments at least a day before your tan.
Wear flip-flops or loose sandals. No socks or boots right after tanning.
Bring the following items if applicable: hair tie, lip balm and black swimsuit or underwear.
Remove any make up and deodorant.
Pull hair up and away from face and neck with a hair tie.
Remove clothing, shoes, and jewelry.
Do not use oil-based exfoliates. These types of exfoliates leave a residue that blocks the
tanning process. Make sure your body is free of make-up, moisturizer, deoderant and perfume.
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing if possible. If you wear light clothes you may
experience “rub off” on the inside of your clothes. This is caused by the bronzer, which
serves as a guide for the technician as she is applying the tan. The “rub off” will wash
out of most materials.
THE SESSION
The technician will give a consultation on your ideal results and will choose the appropriate solution for your skin type.
Please inform your technician of any skin issues or trouble spots you may have had with other sunless tanning products.

The tanning session takes 10 minutes and the solution dries as it is being applied.
The application is flawless. No messy hands and feet, no streaking, and no clean up.
AFTER-TAN CARE
After your tan, wait 8-12 hours before you shower.
If you notice any flaws on your skin prior to your first shower, they are likely rubs from
clothing. Remember to wash only the palms of your hands until after your first post-tan
shower.
Do not attempt to blend flaws or fix spots that may occur from water splashes
from hand washing. These flaws usually only affect the bronzer and your tan will almost
always be even after your first shower. During your first shower, the color run off is also
just the bronzer used as a color guide so that the technician can see that she is applying
your tan evenly. This color is not your tan.
Wait until after your first post-tan shower to exercise. Your new tan needs to fully
develop before excessive sweating.
Use soap only where necessary. Scrubbing, exfoliating, shaving, and waxing will cause
the tan to fade more quickly.
Swimming and soaking in pools, hot tubs, and saltwater dry out your skin and shorten
the life of your tan.
The more you moisturize the longer your tan will last. During the week after your
tanning session, try to avoid using exfoliating products. These products shorten the life
of your tan. Only use them before a tanning session or to help remove the remnants of an old tan.
