Spray Tan Preparation Guidelines

---

Waxing should be completed at least 48 hours prior to your appointment and shaving should be completed with a razor that lacks a moisture strip. 

Stray away from a body scrub/loofah combo as most are oil-based and will leave a residue. Instead, use an exfoliating mitt. 

Tanning should always be the last beauty treatment completed due to the barriers that spa treatment products can create. Complete all facials and massages the days prior. feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Any bar soaps or cream-based body washes (Dove specifically) are known to leave a residue on the skin and can create a barrier that the tan cannot penetrate through and may leave streaks. Any gel-based body wash is best. Showering should be completed at least twenty-four hours prior to tanning to allow your pH levels to neutrilize. If you must shower within twenty-four hours run cold water at the end of your shower. 

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing with open-toed shoes. Please note that the bronzer in solution may transfer to your items, but is water soluble and should wash out. 

Complete manicures + pedicures the day prior. If completd day-of tan, please forgo any oils/lotions that your nail technician might apply on you. If completed days after the tan, your tan may become uneven due to soaking, acetone, oils, lotions, etc. 

  Forgo any lotions, oils, deodorants, perfumes, or makeup the day of your appointment. All of these can create a barrier on the skin that the tan will not adhere to. uneven due to soaking, acetone, oils, lotions, etc.
