✨ Pre-Tan Instructions ✨
Following these steps is essential for achieving the best possible spray tan. Skipping them may lead to uneven or short-lived results.
1. Exfoliate
Spray tanning solution affects only the top layer of dead skin cells. The thicker this layer, the sooner your tan will fade. Exfoliating creates a smoother, more even surface and helps your tan last longer.
• Use oil-free products, as oils can block the tanning solution.
• Avoid bar soap on the day of your tan—its residue can interfere with even application.
2. Wax/Shave Before Your Tan
• Shave 8–24 hours before your appointment.
• Wax at least 24 hours prior.
This allows pores to close fully, preventing a “spotty” appearance.
3. Avoid Deodorant, Makeup, Perfume & Moisturiser
These can act as barriers or even cause colour issues (some deodorants can turn armpits green). Moisturise well the day before, not the day of, to help extend your tan.
4. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing After Your Tan
Your tan needs about 1 hour to set.
• Choose loose, dark cotton clothing and flip-flops after your session.
• Avoid wool, lycra, nylon, spandex, and silk, which may stain.
• Temporary colour transfer to clothes or sheets during the first 6–8 hours is normal and usually washes out.

Aftercare
1. Wait Before Showering
Leave your tan on for 6–8 hours, or overnight if possible, before showering or bathing. Avoid socks or shoes, as sweating can affect development.
2. Avoid Moisturisers & Deodorant
Do not apply moisturisers or deodorants until after your first rinse.
3. Avoid Tight Clothing
Wear loose clothing for at least 5 hours to prevent rubbing.
4. Avoid Water & Exercise
Refrain from swimming, showering, and vigorous exercise for at least 5 hours.
5. Wait Before Shaving
Do not shave for at least 12 hours after your treatment.
6. Avoid Light Fabrics
Do not sit on light-coloured fabrics before your first shower, as the colour guide may transfer.
Note: During your first shower, some colour will wash off. This is normal—it’s just the guide colour. Your developed tan will remain.

Tan Maintenance
To prolong your spray tan:
1. Moisturise daily with an oil-free moisturiser.
2. Avoid long, hot showers or baths—they speed up exfoliation.
3. Pat your skin dry; do not rub.
4. Limit exposure to swimming pools and seawater, as these can fade your tan.
