Spray-On Tan Preparation and Maintenance

Preparing for your Tan

Before Tanning: All waxing, shaving and exfoliating is to be done the day/ night before your tan. Exfoliating can be accomplished by rubbing a damp soapy face washer firmly over your skin when showering. Pay attention to rough skin areas like knees, elbows, ankles and the tops of your feet. An exfoliating scrub and loofah can be used.

Morning of tan: Shower using only water and no products or shower gels. Do not apply moisturiser to your skin at this stage as doing this will reduce the final result. It is recommended not to wear makeup, deodorant or perfumes. Wear suitable attire for tanning. We suggest a g-string, briefs, bra, bikini – whatever you are comfortable with- for women. For men, a g-string, briefs or boxers MUST BE WORN.

Maintaining your tan: Once your tan is applied, you must allow it to dry completely. We will ensure that your application is dry before you leave, but as a precaution, do not wet your skin for at least 5 hours after the tanning session. Showering the following morning is the best option. We also recommend that you do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and showering phase. When showering don’t be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off. This is part of the tanning process. Your skin will continue to tan. Apply moisturiser twice daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin exfoliates and will keep your tan looking better for longer. Other considerations in maintaining your tan are to avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Shorter sessions are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin. These can be used at the end life of your tan.

 IMPORTANT ADVICE

Skin: If you feel you have highly sensitive skin, or you have any doubts, we recommend a small localised test spray to check your skin compatibility before having your full body spray.

Clothing: We recommend that you wear dark, loose fitting attire after your appointment. Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics, some lighter coloured materials including leather, may stain.

Sunscreen: The spray-on tan does not provide any sun protection and it does not contain a sunscreen. Please make sure you apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn when outdoors.
