24-48 HOURS BEFORE:
Exfoliate and shave. Exfoliate your entire body with a natural body scrub (water will work) or mitt. PLLLLEEAAAASEE NO TREE HUT!
Give some extra attention to the neck, elbows, and underarms.
Scrub your underarms to remove deodorant build up.
Manis/Pedis should be scheduled at least 24 hours prior.
All waxing services should be scheduled at least 24 hours prior.
STOP using DOVE, DIAL, OLAY soap ASAP. I carry spray tan friendly soap to use before and after your tan.
DAY OF:
Make sure there is NO product on your skin the day of appointment. Your skin should be free of lotion, fragrance, makeup, and deodorant. THINK NAKED!!
IF you have product on your skin just rinse off with water 4 hours before appointment (I will be able to tell if you did not follow these instructions and this could lead to your tan not developing as it should).
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAY TAN
STAY HYDRATED AND MOISTURIZED
The more hydrated your skin is, the better your tan will look. Lotion 2x a day with a spray tan friendly lotion (no mineral oil). I recommend a body butter with cocoa butter or shea butter as a main ingredient. (Ask me, I may have some spray tan safe moisturize available to purchase).
SHOWERS
Avoid loofahs or washcloths during showers. A clear, gel-based body wash is best or a hydrating bar soap (NOT DOVE!). I Carry spray tan friendly soap that is designed to extend the life of your spray tan.
ACTIVITY AFTER YOUR TAN
Avoid pools & hot tubs for long periods of time, long hot showers/bath, saunas. Your tan has a chance of not lasting as long if you plan on doing these things repetively or for long periods.
