PRE-TAN PREPRARATION

TO ENSURE AN EVEN, LONGER-LASTING TAN

Shower, shave and exfoliate well from head to toe. Exfoliation beforehand is key to a long-lasting tan! Be sure to get elbows, knees, heels & feet, neck (but gentle there!) and any dry, rough areas.
Do not apply body oils, heavy creams, or body butters before your tan session. Regular lotions are ok.
Do not wear oil-based foundation makeup. (Mascara & eyeliner are ok.)
Do any waxing, manicures, pedicures or other pampering before your appointment. If you must wait until after the appointment, wait at least 24 hours.
You may want to have a dark swimsuit, bikini, or dark undergarments to wear for your session. It is ok to opt for just bottoms, or, yes, nothing at all if you prefer not to have any tan lines.
Men must wear swim trunks or shorts.
It is ideal to have dark, loose-fitting clothes and sandals or flip flops to wear after your session.

POST-TAN CARE

TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR TAN

Wait at least 8-10 hours to shower or engage in activities that cause you to sweat. Wait longer, if possible, to allow the tan more time to set. (UNLESS doing Express Tan, you must shower in 3-5 hours with Express tan)
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! (of course not until at least 8 hours after your session) Hydrated skin will prolong the life of your tan. Applying lotion morning and night is ideal. Your skin will love you for it.
Shower with mild cleansers. Avoid heavy exfoliating and long showers or baths. Pat dry after you bathe, no rubbing. (This is better for your skin anyway!)
