Do not use any other self-tanning products 1 week before treatment.
Wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to treatment.
On the day of your spray tan treatment do NOT wear any make-up, deodorant, perfume, body oils or lotions as these may react with the tanning agents.
Avoid wearing tight clothing on the day of your tan as it can cause lines on your skin. This includes tighter-fitting jeans, bras, spandex, tight blouses and shoes/socks.

Immediately after your tan:

Wear loose, dark clothing
keep skin completely dry, avoid water contact
Do not apply any products over the developing tan
Allow tan to develop for at least 2-3 hours for express. 4-8 hours for classic
Avoid other beauty/hair treatments whilst your tan is developing
Avoid activities that make you perspire
Be careful when drinking hot beverages as hot cup can strip colour from around your mouth. Toothpaste can also strip colour while your tan develops

After your tan has developed:

Rinse off any remaining guide colour with warm/hot water. Once the water runs clear gently wash yourself with a mild soap
Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's) as they can strip colour
Avoid swimming pools as Chlorine will prematurely fade your tan
If you have any problems with your treatment please contact us.
Avoid manicures and pedicures that involve soaking your hands and feet and exfoliation as this can dissolve the spray tan and may end up in quick fading of your tan.
