Prep/Aftercare: Text

24 Hours Prior to Your Appointment

  • Exfoliate using an exfoliating mitt or sugar/salt scrub (DO NOT use a loofa or Dove soap)

  • Shave/wax as you normally would

  • Keep skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and moisturizing regularly

  • At time of appointment, have clean, bare skin and loose, dark clothes ready to put on after.

  • You may dress down to your comfort level. Disposable underwear is usually available upon request.

​

Immediately After Your Appointment

  • Avoid putting on any tight clothing including bras, underwear, and socks

  • Avoid any and all moisture. This includes sweating, steam/humidity, washing hands/doing dishes, rain, lotions etc.

  • Your first shower will typically be in 3-6 hours depending on how dark you'd like to be. Please follow the rinse time recommended during your appointment and DO NOT leave your solution on for more than 8 hours. Use warm (not hot) water to gently  guide the bronzer off with your hands. Once the water going down the drain is clear, exit shower and pat dry (do not rub).

  • It is best to leave your skin alone for the next 12-24 hours while your tan fully develops. You might not have much of a tan when you first rinse... TRUST THE PROCESS.


24 Hours After Your Appointment

  • Take your first real shower! Wash your body using just your hands and a clear shower gel.

  • Avoid long, hot showers and remember to pat dry.

  • Moisturize using a tan safe lotion immediately after showering and anytime your skin feels dry, usually 2-3 times a day.

  • If you need to shave, use a new razor and do so lightly. Using a clear body wash instead of shave cream is also recommended.

​

TIPS:

  • Avoid soaking in water for long periods of time (baths, pool, ocean). If you do plan on being in the water, apply an oil free SPF lotion at least 15 minutes prior to water exposure which will help protect the tan from fading.

  • Use a touch up spray, tan extender, or self tanner to extend the life of your tan. I recommend adding the touch up spray to your regular face or body moisturizer when applying. You can also use a makeup brush to apply the touch up spray alone. Begin using tan extenders on day 4 or 5. and use everyday or every other day. It's also great to use on the legs after shaving.
