Preparation & Aftercare
Client Preparation
Shower, shave, and exfoliate 8-24 hours before your appointment using a gel based body wash. Avoid using Dove or Olay.
Arrive with clean, dry skin—no lotion, makeup, deodorant, or perfume.
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.
