Preparation & Aftercare

Client Preparation

Week of Your Appointment

  • Complete all beauty services before your tan
    (waxing, facials, lashes, nails, hair, etc.)

  • Moisturize daily leading up to your appointment to keep skin hydrated.
    Do not apply lotion the day of your tan.

  • Stay well hydrated for best results.

Before Your Appointment

  • Shave and exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment using a gentle exfoliant or exfoliating glove.

  • When showering, use a clear gel body wash. Avoid Dove, Olay, or moisturizing soaps as they can leave a residue that blocks the tan.

  • If you need to shower the day of your appointment to remove deodorant, makeup, or sweat, do so at least 2-3 hours before. Quick rinse only—no exfoliating. Avoid showering right before your appointment.

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

  • Wear loose, dark clothing and sandals to prevent transfer.

Client Post Care

After Your Tan

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

  • Rinse at your scheduled time (standard: usually 8-12 hours; express: 2-4 hours) using lukewarm water only—no soap.

    Seeing bronzer wash away is normal. Pat to dry— do not rub.

To Maintain Your Tan

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

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

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

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