✨ Before Your Tan: Prep Like a Pro

  1. Exfoliate Gently: 24–48 hours before your appointment, exfoliate your skin using an oil-free scrub. This removes dead skin cells, allowing for an even application.​

  2. Shave Wisely: Shave the day prior to your session. Shaving too close to your appointment can cause residue that may affect tan development.​

  3. Skip Products: On the day of your tan, avoid applying lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, or makeup. These can create barriers that prevent the tanning solution from adhering properly.​

  4. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing: Post-tan, opt for loose-fitting, dark attire to prevent any rubbing or staining.​

  5. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated.​

🌞 After Your Tan: Maintain Your Glow

  1. Wait Before Showering: Avoid showering, sweating, or swimming for at least 8–12 hours after your tan. This allows the color to develop fully.​

  2. First Shower Tips: When you do shower, use warm water only. The cosmetic bronzer will wash off, but don't worry—your tan is still developing beneath the surface.​

  3. Moisturize Daily: Keep your skin hydrated with an oil-free moisturizer to extend the life of your tan.​

  4. Avoid Exfoliating: Do not exfoliate or use products with alcohol or oil, as they can cause the tan to fade prematurely.​

  5. Stay Dry: For the first 24 hours, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, like intense workouts or hot tubs.​
