Before the Appointment

  • Shower and exfoliate the day of appointment (avoid oil based gels & scrubs)
  • Shave day before appointment to avoid irritation (razor conditioning strip may contain oils)
  • At appointment skin should be free of lotions, oils, perfumes, makeup, deodorants, antiperspirants as these may inhibit solution development

 At the Appointment 

  • Wear loose dark fitting clothes or sundress and flip flops

  • Your privacy is honored. During session wear a dark colored bathing suit or garment of preference

After the Appointment (and the next 6-12 hours)

  • AVOID WATER, including washing your hands
  • NO SHOWER for a minimum of SIX HOURS (during shower it is normal to see some bronzer wash off as this is the tint that gave you that initial glow)
  • Avoid touching your skin to prevent solution from staining palms of hands
  • Wear loose fitting clothes to avoid rub off and/or seam marks
  • Avoid exercise/sweating for a minimum of 6 hours
  • Do not swim or immerse yourself in water
  • Avoid direct sun as your skin is not protected from the harmful effects of the sun or tanning beds UVA/UVB rays
  • Do not apply moisturizer or sunscreen until showered
  • If wearing shorts or skirt/sundress, protect fabrics from rub off by sitting on a towel until showered (bring towel for car travel)

Maintaining the Tan

  • Moisturize twice daily, once immediately after shower while skin is damp
  • Pat skin dry after shower/bath
  • Avoid hot showers or baths
  • Shave a day or two after tan with a new razor to avoid unecessary exfoliation
  • Chlorine from hot tubs and pools may cause tan to fade more quickly
  • Salt water may cause tan to fade more quickly
  • Skin products such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid/Salicylic Acid/Retin A increase exfoliation and will cause tan to fade more quickly
  • Avoid waxing and depilatory hair removal as these hair removal techniques can remove the tanned top layer of skin
