SKIN CARE IN PREPARATION FOR YOUR TAN

THE NAKED TRUTH

WHY ARE THESE STEPS IMPORTANT?

  • To keep your pH balance in check and avoid from turning green.
  • To have your skin moisturised and exfoliated so it takes colour evenly.
  • To prepare to have clean skin with no product residue that would affect the colour.

7 DAYS OUT (Minimum)

  • Moisturise and exfoliate daily (See Merchandise for Body Lotion and Sugar Scrub Options).
  • Stay away from oils, deodorant, perfume and body sprays where at all possible!!!

HAIR REMOVAL

  • It is recommended that you have full body hair removal for optimum results. Exfoliate after all forms of hair removal.

Shaving (Recommended)

  • Minimum 24 hours before your appointment.

Waxing

  • Minimum 10 days before your appointment.
  • BE MINDFUL of wax residue and skin irritation which will become very noticeable with a spray tan.

Nair/Veet

  • Minimum 48 hours before your appointment.
  • Test your skin if you have never used before.

24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR TAN

Shower

  • Minimum 5 hours before your appointment to allow your pores to close.
  • Use a non-moisturising liquid gel soap. (See Merchandise for a Body Wash Option)

OTHER TIPS AND TRICKS.

  • Bring an umbrella if it is raining outside.
  • Sleep in loose fitting clothing to avoid body marks or flaws in the tan.
