How to Prepare for your Spray Tan:

A Patch Test is required at least 24hrs before your Spray Tan

• 24hrs Before - please exfoliate, moisturise and shave (if needed), giving pores time to close before the spray tan application

   

• Protecting Natural Finger Nails / Toe Nails - ensure you have some clear polish on your finger nails and toe nails to protect them staining from the spray tan

   

• On the Day - please do not apply anything to your skin, including moisturiser, deodorant, perfume, foundation etc as this will act as a barrier to the spray tan

   

• Clothing - wear dark loose fitting clothing as the colour guide may rub off (it can stain some nylon and lycra), avoid socks, boots, trainers and tight fitting garments such as jeans

   

• Pregnancy - do not have a spray tan if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy or if you have any open cuts or wounds or broken skin conditions

   

• Eyebrow / Eyelash Tints / Waxing - do not tint eyebrows or eyelashes within 12 hours of a spray tan treatment. Waxing should be carried out at least 48 hours before. Please note any waxing done after your spray tan will remove your tan !

   

• During the Tan - you can wear either a dark bikini, dark or old bra and knickers / thong. Disposable knickers are available at the salon.

PLEASE NOTE: Spray tan solution can vary on different people / skin types / tones.

If you wish to trial the % strengths of the tan prior to a special occasion or event, please ensure you have your patch test asap.

I am happy to spray a test area on your body free of charge in advance in order to avoid any disappointment nearer the time.

How to Prolong your Tan:

We want you to be happy with your tan, for it to be long-lasting and stay looking beautiful. Below are some easy to follow steps to help you make this happen.

• Tan Development - your tan can take upto 8-10 hours to fully develop. Avoid touching your skin as the colour will transfer onto your hands

   

• Do not sit on light leather or fabrics until after the tan has fully developed and you have taken a shower to wash the colour guide off (protect light colour car seats !) Avoid washing your hands immediately after having your tan

   

• Seat Belts! Remember the guide colour can also rub off onto your seat belt and then onto any light clothing!

   

• Bathing - please do not bath / shower until at least 8-10 hours after application of your tan and avoid any vigorous exercise / swimming during this time

   

• Prolonging your Tan - your tan can last between 4-10 days, depending on your skin type and care. Moisturise, with a non oily moisturiser, daily and use a mild cleanser / soap on your skin. Pat dry rather than rub. Showers rather than baths also help.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: Dove products can strip the colour of your tan !

   

• Fading Tan - as your tan starts to fade you may need to lightly exfoliate to keep it even and prevent any patches. You can do this after about 3-4 days. Remember - Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise !
