🧖♀️ SKIN PREP | Glow On, Gorgeous
Because flawless tans start with flawless prep.
A glowing tan begins long before the first spray. To ensure your color develops evenly, lasts longer, and looks ultra-natural, follow our signature skin prep routine.
✨ 24–48 HOURS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
✔️ Exfoliate Thoroughly
Use an oil-free body scrub, exfoliating mitt, or dry brush to slough off dead skin. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists.
Pro Tip: This helps your tan apply smoothly and fade evenly.
✔️ Wax or Shave Early
Hair removal should be done at least 24 hours before your tan. Shaving too close to your appointment can open pores and create dotted texture.
✔️ AVOID Heavy Lotions & Oils
Avoid applying rich moisturizers or oils before your tan—they can create a barrier and prevent even absorption.
🛑 WHAT TO AVOID
Dove, Olay, or bar soaps
Retinols, AHAs, or acne treatments
Loofahs or exfoliating mitts (after tanning)
Chlorine and saltwater—can cause uneven fading
Deodorant
✨ DAY OF YOUR TAN
✔️ Arrive With Clean, Dry Skin
Shower, rinse thoroughly, and skip all body products—no makeup, deodorant, lotion, sunscreen, or perfume.
✔️ Wear Loose, Dark Clothing
Stick to flowy fabrics, preferably cotton or bamboo. Avoid jeans, tight bras, or anything that could rub the tan off during development.
✔️ Bring Flip Flops or Slides
Closed-toe shoes can smudge your freshly sprayed glow.
✨ AFTER YOUR TAN
⏱ Wait to Rinse
Your technician will tell you exactly when to shower. No sweating, swimming, or tight clothes until then.
🚿 First Rinse = Just Water
Use lukewarm water only—no soap, scrubs, or shampoo during your first rinse. Don’t panic if color runs off—that’s just the cosmetic bronzer.
🧴 Moisturize Daily
Hydrated skin = longer-lasting glow. Use a tan-safe, oil-free lotion morning and night.
