Preparation & Aftercare

Client Preparation

  • Arrive with clean, dry skin—no lotion, makeup, deodorant, or perfume.

  • Avoid shaving or exfoliating within 24 hours of your appointment.

  • Wear loose, dark clothing and sandals to prevent rub-off.

Client Post Care and Maintenance

  • 2-12 hours after appointment:

  • Avoid all moisture—no showering, sweating, lotions, or makeup.

  • Rinse only when instructed (usually 8-12 hours; express tans rinse in 2-4 hours).

  • Rinse with lukewarm water only—no soap. Seeing bronzer wash away is normal. Pat to dry.

  • 12-24 hours after appointment:

  • Begin moisturizing morning and night. Hydration makes your tan last longer.

  • Avoid long hot showers, baths, saunas, swimming, and heavy sweating.

  • Wash with hands only—no loofahs, washcloths, or exfoliating.

  • Do not exfoliate until your tan is ready to fade.
