Spray Tan
We use Moroccan Nights that can be rinsed off after just 1 hour.
Bring loose fitting dark clothes, preferably something you don’t mind getting tan on and thongs are a good idea. Spray Tans usually look their best 1-2 days after being done!
Tanning Advice for best results!
BEFORE
Wax or shave at least 48 hours prior to treatment. This allows time for the pores to close, otherwise dotting in pores may appear.
Exfoliate and moisturise 24 hours before your tan. Pay attention to elbows, knees, ankles and problem dry areas.
For the entire 24 hours before your tan avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products, oil based products or in- shower moisturisers. These products may act as a barrier against your skin and can prevent the tanning agents to develop.
On the day of tan application don’t apply moisturiser, perfume, deodorant or makeup. Make sure your skin is clean and dry as too much moisture causes tanning product to slide off the skin.
AFTER THE TAN
Wear loose, dark clothing and loose fitting shoes. Tight clothing, underwear and shoes may cause marks.
You can control the colour of your tan depending on your first rinse.
When to rinse?
If you want your tan:
Light- 1 hour
Medium- 2 hours
Dark- 3 hours
If you leave your tan on longer than this don’t stress.
While your tan is processing stay cool so you don’t sweat, avoid crossing legs when sitting or anything where your leaning on yourself.
You may feel sticky for a couple of hours.
THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP AFTER APPLYING TAN IS THE SHOWER PROCESS
DO NOT use any products in the first rinse! DO NOT wash your hair, use soap or body wash.
Shower quickly for 45 secs with lukewarm water. The brown bronzers will wash away while the fast tan actives continue to work and deepen.
DO NOT USE HOT WATER.
Hot water will stop the development of tan actives during the development time. This is a common mistake people make, especially in the colder months. Once you shower, you can wear your favourite clothes, go out of the house and not stain the bed sheets. Your tan will develop into a natural tan without the hassle of any stains or smell.
Don’t worry if you look white again after this rinse as the tan will continue to develop over the next 8-12 hours.
Don’t worry about any streak marks after the rinse, if this happens they will be gone after your next proper shower.
Pat your skin dry. Do not rub or scrub your skin and moisturise everyday!
After day 5, exfoliate with a soft body polish daily to help your skin absorb even more moisturiser and keep it looking and feeling gorgeous. This also helps the tan fade naturally, rather than in patches.
