Addicted to the Glow

For a long lasting tan

  • Exfoliate your skin before the session. The fresh skin cells will form a smooth base that your spray tan will stick to. The fresher the skin cells, the longer the life of the tan. A good scrub and an exfoliating mitt will allow the elimination of all the dead skin cells and impurities on the body. Pay attention to rough areas like the top of the feet, heels, ankles, elbows, knees, knuckles, etc.

  • Shave, wax and exfoliate the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment.

  • Do not wear any existing self-tanner or residue from a former spray tan on the skin.

  • Do not use lotions, oil-based exfoliating products, gels or waxing/shaving creams on the day of the appointment. These can leave a film and change the pH of the skin.

  • If you really need to take a shower before the appointment, take it 3 hours prior to the session and rinse only with cool/warm water. The steam can open the pores.

  • Manicures, pedicures, facials and massages should be done 24 hours before the appointment.

  • If the skin is sweaty, make sure to dry it prior to the application.

  • Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant.

  • The application can be done with or without undergarments or a bathing suit.

  • Wearing loose and dark clothes is recommended for after the session. Tight clothing can rub against the tan and remove color on some areas.

After your tan.

    • For the first shower after development, we recommend not using soap. Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly until the water is clear. Please avoid using DOVE soap.

    • Avoid activities that cause sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it’s raining or snowing outside, you should wear long, concealing clothes.

    • If the session takes place in the evening, you should go to bed wearing long, loose clothes to prevent the bronzer from getting on your sheets.

    • Do not apply cream, makeup or perfume on the skin during the development period.

    • Avoid body washes, lotions, sunscreens with alcohol, parabens, mineral or petroleum oil, or sulfates. Do not apply perfume directly on the areas that have been sprayed. The alcohol present in perfumes can affect the spray tan.

    • Do not wax areas where solution has been applied. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.

    • Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan will start fading, it’s essential to exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residue.

    • Excessive sweating, hot tubs, saunas, long baths and pools can cause a faster fading.
