don’t forget to prep!
-
Prep your skin 12-24 hours before by exfoliating with a loofah or exfoliating mitt and moisturizing your skin!
Wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. This will give time for your pores to close preventing dark spots from forming.
Avoid bar soaps, oil based products, or Dove products 24 hours before your tan.
The day of your appointment, take a shower, make sure to risnse off any body wash thoroughly and don’t apply deodorant, makeup, or lotion. Come with clean, dry skin.
For face only- If you tend to have dry skin or just like a lighter color overall on your face you may apply a little moisturizer to the face only, avoiding the neck, prior to your spray tan.
Complete manicures and pedicures at least one day before your spray tan.
Come wearing dark, loose fitting clothing and flip-flops to protect your tan. We also recommend not wearing a bra immediately after your spray tan.
