How to prepare for your tan...
It's important to prep for your spray tan BEFORE your appointment to ensure you get the very BEST out of the application!
- Exfoliate before your spray tan appointment, ideally the night before or morning of your appointment. This helps remove any dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin so they wont shed off after your tan has been applied, leaving your tan patchy. Pay extra attention to areas that tend to be drier such as knees, elbows and ankles.
- Do not shave or wax the day of your spray tan. If you shave or wax too close to your appointment, the spray tan may seep into your open pores, leaving dark dots. It can also irritate your skin; therefore, it's best to shave/wax the day before.
- Shower before you come to your appointment to ensure your skin is COMPLETELY free of any moisturiser, makeup, perfume, and deodorant. When you have product on your skin it can alter the colour of your tan and leave it looking uneven and patchy as products create a barrier between your skin and the tan.
- Wear dark, loose fitting clothing to your appointment to avoid getting tan on them afterwards. Loose fitting clothes are important as they minimize rubbing while your tan is developing. This is why we recommend getting a tan near the end of the day so you can go bra-less and straight home while your tan develops.
