Wax/Shave- Make sure you wax, shave, pluck, or laser any unwanted hair at least 24 hrs. prior to your spray tan appointment.
Exfoliate- It's best to exfoliate your skin at least 24 hrs. prior to remove any dead skin, oils and leftover film from lotions, makeup or body wash. This helps your skin hold the tan longer and helps to keep tan even and not streaky. Try not to over exfoliate as it can leave your skin uneven or patchy. No oil-based scrubs at this time.
Manicure/Pedicure- Schedule any necessary nail appointments at least 24 hrs. prior to your spray tan to avoid uneven, splotchy and/or streaky hands, feet and legs.
NO Bar Soap/Creamy Body Wash- Stop using bar soap, cream and oil-based body washes the day before your spray tan appointment. Do not use Dove, Victoria's Secret or Bath and Bodyworks soaps and lotions as they can change the pH level of your skin. It can also leave a film which can make your tan look streaky and blotchy.
Facials/Spa Procedures- Complete any and all spa procedures a day or two prior to avoid open pores or left over products on your skin. Make sure not to use acne products before a spray tan.
PLAN AHEAD- Planning your day before, during and after your spray tan is key to ensuring a lasting glow! Moisturize daily/weekly leading up to your spray tan appointment. Make sure you can do your initial rinse within the designated time depending on the solution you chose during your consultation. Avoid working out/sweating directly after your spray tan.
