Check out these helpful instructions.
PRE-TAN
Shower
At least 8 hours before your session be sure to shower, exfoliate, shave and moisturize. Do not re-apply moisturizer before the appointment. Waxing should be done at least 24 hours prior. This will allow even coverage and help extend your tan to its full potential.
Clothing
Bring or wear loose fitting clothing and what you would like to be sprayed in. The bronzer may rub off onto your clothing but will wash out of most fabrics. Avoid silks and nylons.
Face & Skin
Remove makeup and deodorant prior to your appointment. Natural Glow will provide make-up remover if needed.
Jewelry
Remove all jewelry.
Post – TAN
Wait Time
The solution takes 3-8 hours to fully develop, depending on which depth you choose to be. During that time avoid getting wet and activity that promotes sweating. Wear loose fitting clothing.
Shower
When showering, be gentle on the skin. Apply body wash with your hand, avoid any scrubbing or exfoliating that will remove or lighten the tan. When shaving, use a sharp blade and press gently on skin.
Moisturize
Pat skin lightly with towel to dry, moisturize while the skin is still damp. Apply a few times a day if possible.
Enhancing Products
To prolong your tan and minimize fading, we suggest using tan extending lotions at home to darken a fading tan.
