Not properly preparing your skin is the biggest cause for an unsatisfactory tan. It is important to follow these guidelines to ensure you get the tan you are going for and keep it for as long as possible


Pre-Tan

  • Exfoliate before your session with an oil-free exfoliant. Spend some extra time on your knees, elbows, feet and hands.

  • Before your session, do not use any kind of moisturizers, deodorant, perfumes or makeup.
    Please refrain from wearing jewelry during your tanning session

  • Wax or shave prior to your appointment.

  • Pedicures and manicures should be done the day before.

  • During your session you should choose a dark fitted bathing suit, undergarments or you can choose to go nude, although I do require men to wear swimsuit trunks or boxer shorts, preferably dark.


Post Tan

  • After your tan is complete and your skin is dry, you may get dressed in dark loose fitting clothing. A loose t-shirt or a sundress and flip flops would be ideal. Avoid wearing white clothing, wool, silk or nylon materials. Keep in mind color may come off on your clothing but will wash out

  • Avoid sitting directly on leather or furniture covered with light fabric such as white or light colored bed linens. I would suggest sitting on a towel.

  • Avoid swimming and exercise until the next day.

Tips to keep your tan maintained:

  • Avoid hot baths and showers. Try to keep the water temperature as cool as you can

  • Do not exfoliate

  • Gently towel dry

  • Moisturize everyday in the morning and evening. Well hydrated skin is essential in maintaining a longer life to your tanning treatment. Avoid using products that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids as this accelerates the rate of exfoliation

  • Wear sunscreen
