Prep 24 hours before
Shave, get your nails & feet done, exfoliate really good. Exfoliating using a sponge or loofah. No tree hut! Nothing oil based! ( this is leaving us with even skin to tan onto)
After your exfoliating shower, lotion your problem areas. (feet, knees, hands, and elbows).
The day of
Come in completely clean no deodorant, no perfume, no lotion, and no makeup!
WHAT TO WEAR — cover all of your skin. Dark colored long sleeve shirt & long pants. Loose fit (this makes sure we aren’t having skin to skin contact.) Wear sandals/ Slides with loose socks. No tight footwear
AFTER LEAVING — no sweating, do not touch your skin while tan is developing. Be carful washing your hands after using the bathroom.
RINSE TIME — showering in luke warm water gently pushing the product off your skin till water runs clear. NO SOAP NO SHAMPOO NO NOTHING. Just rinsing. Do not scratch or rub your skin once you get out. Pat dry. Put lose clothes on after.
YOUR STILL COOKING — your true tan color isn’t fully developed until 24 hours from application
After 24 hours
AFTER fully developed you may go about your normal routine. You can now use products (shampoo, body wash, lotion)
Keep in mind pools and oceans are not a spray tans friend. Soaking in water for long periods will exfoliate your tan off.
Tans last about 10 days. After care is important to insure you get the most from your tan. Keeping the skin hydrated is key. Using a gradual tan lotion helps top off the tan as it fades.
