Sunless Tanning Frequently Asked Questions
Pre Tanning Preparation
- Avoid using other self-tanning products at least 4 days before treatment.
- Avoid waxing or shaving at least 24 hours before treatment as open pores collect the tanning solution.
- Ensure you have thoroughly exfoliated, paying attention to your elbows, knees and the backs of the heels, also the hands.
- Use plenty of moisturiser the day before coming in for your tan to make sure the skin is nicely hydrated.
- Wear loose dark clothing for your tan, and some loose fitting shoes, open toe sandals or flip flops are preferable as not to disturb the tan. Be advised that the tanning guide colour can stain nylon or wool.
- Avoid wearing aftershave, deodorant or any other products on the day of your tan as these can affect the treatment, so make sure you shower before you come to the salon for your tan.
- You will be provided with a pair of disposable briefs and sticky feet to stop the tanning solution sticking to soles of your feet. Please feel free to wear your own underwear if that if preferable to you.
