My Tanning Top Tips

🤎 Pre Tan

 

1. Have a patch test if you've not used self tanning moisturisers before

2. Buff away (exfoliate) dry skin 24hrs before, everywhere on the body including the neck area!

3. Wax/shave at least 48hrs before, don't use moisture Strip Razors!

4. Moisturise generously the days leading up to your appointment

5. Rinse off any products such as deodorants, oils, makeups before you arrive

6. Do not shower within 4 hours before having you're tan, if you do make sure it's a cool shower and not hot! We don't want to tan open pours!

7. Opt for dark LOOSE clothing for after and open toe shoes

8. Tie your hair up

🤎 Post Tan

 

The first 24hrs after your tan will make or break how it looks! With proper care you will keep the glow. 

 

1. Stay dry whilst it's developing (6-8 hrs), If you have had the Rapid then 2-4 hours

2. Wear loose clothing after your tan, and to sleep in whilst developing. No skin on skin! You are better wearing loose tracky or PJ bottoms and a loose long sleeved top

3. Toothpaste will strip your tan so be careful when brushing you're teeth

4. If you are likely to get sweaty add a light dusting of talc to areas, armpits - around boobies - arm creases - between thighs

5. Wait to shower, use luke warm water, no gels, make you're showers shorter

6. Pat dry with your towel, do not rub!

7. Moisturise after your shower and continue to moisturise twice a day

8. Avoid touching/rubbing you're skin. No one wants brown palms and fingers!

9. When going for a wee, wipe wipe wipe! We don't want dribbles down your legs during development, this will strip your tan.

​

Swimming, hot baths, and hot tubs can significantly fade tan, so it's best to steer clear of these activities. Remember to moisturise daily to keep your skin hydrated and maintain that glow. Drink lots of water, it really helps!
