I have many enquiries about how to prepare your skin for a spray tan, what actually happens during the appointment and how to look after the spray tan..
So I've made it as simple as possible and listed the 'need to know' on pre/post spray tan!
Before Your Spray Tan...
- Shower and exfoliate your skin
- Avoid heavy moisturising shower gels
- Do not apply moisturisers, deodorants, oil based products or perfume
- Wax/Shave at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment
- Wear loose dark clothing and open shoes, eg flip flops
- Avoid silk, wool & leather garments as tan will not wash out of these materials
Your Spray Tan Appointment...
- Wear suitable swimwear or underwear to create desired result
- If using underwear ensure its black as tan does not wash out of elastic/lace
- I will apply barrier cream to your hands, feet, knees, elbows and any other dry areas
- You will be dry and ready to dress straight after your spray tan
- Do not touch the skin whilst developing to avoid tanned fingers!
Aftercare...
- Shower between 6-8 hours after your spray tan (I usually advise around 7 hours)
- Pay dry with a towel - do NOT rub
- Avoid water on your skin whilst the tan is developing - especially rain
- Use moisturiser daily to keep your tan looking fresh (avoid oil based moisturisers as these may strip the tan)
If you have any questions at all .. please do not hesitate to contact me!
