TIPS & QUESTIONS
Tanning Tips to keep that glow for up to two weeks
PRE-CARE SHAVE
-
Shave and Exfoliate 8 to 10 hours before tanning solution is applied, preferably with a body sponge or exfoliating body scrub.
-
You can also shave the day after spray tan as long as you use a brand new razor and a lot of shaving gel.
-
Exfoliate knees, elbows, tops of hands and feet, face, etc.No lotions, deodorant, face make up, shaving gel, or exfoliating oils. You want your skin to be as dry as possible for application of solution.
-
Make sure to get your pedicures, manicures, waxing etc. the day before your tan.
POST-CARE
-
Choose loose fitting, dark colored clothing for right after application that is comfortable to wear until your tan is fully developed.
-
Wait 8 to 10 hours (usually over night) before washing tanning solution off.
-
Lather body soap on hands or loufa and completely wash all tanning bronzer off, gently in circular motions.
-
For longer lasting tan apply tan extender lotion 2 to 3 times daily especially after swimming or a shower. (Avoid lotions with parabens, petroleum, or mineral oils that will fade your tan faster)
Common Questions
Will tanning bronzer get on my couch or sheets?
The first 2 to 3 hours you will be very sticky (a good thing) so be careful to not rub off on clothes, sheets, etc. If it does get on your things, the tanning solution will wash out as long as you wash them within the first couple of days. After about 2 to 3 hours the stickiness will decrease.
Do I need to rub the solution in?
No, once solution is applied and absorbed into your skin you just sit back and let it work it's magic. You do want to make sure that you don't get wet ( I.e sweating during exercise or spilling any type of liquid on your skin).
Will my tan be natural or orange looking?
In recent years tanning solution has greatly improved. I use the newest organic high quality products. The right shade will be chosen just for you with a bronze streak-free glow. No orange here!!
