Tanning Aftercare
IMPORTANT
Preparation for your tan
-
Exfoliate and moisturise the night before your tan (NOT on the day of the tan), paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and any other problem dry areas.
-
Paint fingernails and toenails with clear or coloured polish; especially if artificial.
-
Wax / shave at least 24/48 hours prior to your treatment. This allows the pores time to close. Dotting in pores may appear if not adhered to.
-
DO NOT apply deodorant or perfume - and remove all make-up prior to your tan.
-
Wear loose dark clothing and flip flops for after your tan.
-
NOT suitable for people with respiratory problems; or those within the first 3 months of pregnancy.
-
Any medical conditions must be disclosed to the therapist prior to your tanning; as permission from your GP may be required.
After your spray tan:
-
Do not shower or bathe for at least 8 hours. This time changes to 2 - 4 hours when using the ‘Tonight’s the Night’ tan and 1 –3 hours when using the St Tropez ‘Express’ tan.
-
Do not exercise or swim during development time.
-
Pat yourself dry after showering. DO NOT have a hot oily bath, as this may strip the tan.
-
Apply moisturiser daily to help maintain your tan.
REMEMBER – When you wash your hands after using the toilet (during the development period) ONLY the wash palms and NOT the tops of your hands.
