Preparation
24 hours before your session
EXFOLIATE! Before each session exfoliate thoroughly to remove dry, flaky skin.
Remove dry skin cells that will prevent the absorption of the sunless solution into fresh healthy skin cells. This allows the solution of absorb deeply into the skin and oxidize to a brilliant golden brown color.
We recommend using a salt scrub for a deep exfoliation and skin treatment 24-hours before your session.
NOTE: Avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products or in-shower moisturizers. These products can halt the DHA bronzing reaction or cause the color to not develop as golden brown. The best option is a gel body wash. Any waxing should be done no less than 2 days prior to your session.
STOP! DO NOT APPLY LOTION Do not apply lotions, moisturizers or perfumes prior to your session. It is best not to wear make-up, but if you do, makeup can be removed prior to your session.
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and remove jewelry prior to your session.
Your tanning session will last approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
Maintenance
After session
- Avoid Water for 6 hours! You must avoid water entirely for at least 6 hours after your session or you will stop the tanning process.
- Avoid Sweating! Avoid activities that may cause you to perspire for at least 6 hours after your session.
- Avoid swimming pools and spas! Avoid chemically treated pools/spas for at least 24 hours to prevent pre-mature fading.
- Wait to shower! For maximum results, wait at least 8 hours before showering/bathing. Bathe with plain water only for the first 16 hours after your session to avoid fading.
- Cleansing: After tanning session, avoid using bar soaps or high pH products. A mild, clear gel shower wash is best. After bathing, gently pat dry skin. The instant cosmetic bronzer will wash off – as it is designed to do and will leave behind your sunless tan!
- Tan extend/Moisturize: After your first shower, be sure to moisturize your skin every day to extend the life of your sunless tan.
- Removal: Once you are ready to tan again, the best way to remove any remaining tan is to liberally apply baby oil, wait at least an hour and then take a nice, hot bubble bath. Shower gloves or a loofah can then be used to exfoliate your skin.
