Remove any deodorant, makeup, or lotion prior to your session. This can affect your tan development.
Shower, shave, and exfoliate with an oil free such as Aviva Pre-Tan Exfoliant. We have this available for purchase. Pay extra attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, and feet. Bring a dark swimsuit or undergarments to tan in that are not your best.
Wear dark, loose fitting clothes and flip-flops.
If you wax, please do so 24 hours prior to any tanning session.
Remove contact lenses (if you choose to) and jewelry.
Post-tan Care
Allow a few minutes to dry prior to getting dressed.
Do not wear tight fitting clothing.
Wait between 6 and 12 hours shower, exercise or sweat. You must allow time for the solution to react with the amino acids in your skin. The cosmetic bronzer will wash off in the first shower. This is normal and is not your tan!
Avoid anything else that may cause you to perspire or get wet.
Apply a DHA tan extending lotion such as Skin Glow Tan Extender, moisturizer after showering. We have this available for purchase.
Moisturize twice daily. Hydrated skin retains tan longer.
Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxy acids.
Avoid harsh scrubbing and long, hot baths. Pat your skin dry.
Apply a sun block with SPF while in the sun.
If you choose to sleep in the bronzer, this is fine, just know the bronzer may rub off on blankets or sheets. This will wash off almost everything except for satin. Do not wear this type of material just in case only before your first shower.
