Before My Spray Tan Tips & Tricks!
GREAT IDEA!!
Exfoliate: Use a Sugar scrub & loofah. Stay away from oily scrubs that can leave a barrier on the skin. Shave & Exfoliate at least 2 or more hours before spray tan. Also use a ***Sulfate-free body wash*** that will keep your skin free of any soap residue. If you do not exfoliate on a weekly basis, be careful not to scrub to much. This can cause skin to be red and irritated. Ask your tanning pro what products recommended!
Loose Fitting Clothes: Loose fitting clothes only. You don’t want your tan rubbing off when you get dressed. Have Flip flops instead of socks/shoes, no white feet! Avoid any tight fitting clothes.
Waxing & Mani/Pedi’s: Get your waxing or mani-pedicure done at least 24 hours before your spray tan to ensure optimal tan results. ***Do not get after spray tan***
WORST IDEA!!
Moisturizer: Before your spray tan, avoid moisturizers after you shower. The hydrating properties act as a barrier & prevents tan proper development. Also, your tan may fade more quickly with any residue left on the skin.
Shaving: Do NOT Shave right before your application. We recommend at least 2-4 hours before a spray tan,minimum. Shave the day before & anytime after first shower w/NEW RAZOR. Shaving to close to your spray tan causes pores to absorb solution & may cause a “freckling” effect that can last entire time of spray tan.
Makeup & Parfume: Anything covering your skin can result in an uneven absorption of solution. Sounds silly but even perfume can be a culprit. Stay clear of any perfume a week prior to application, as oils stay on skins' surface longer.
