To ensure the most natural, even, and long-lasting results, there are a few simple guidelines for before and after your appointment.
Before Your Appointment
Exfoliate
Gently exfoliate 24 hours prior to remove dry skin and create a smooth canvas for even color development.
​​​Professional exfoliators and single-use prep gloves are available for purchase in studio if needed.
Shave or Wax Early
Complete any desired hair removal at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Arrive With Clean, Dry Skin
Avoid lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, and makeup the day of your appointment.
Avoid arriving immediately after a workout, swimming, or facials. Skin should be cool and dry before application.
A pH-balancing spray is applied as part of your service to support optimal, even development.
Wear Loose Clothing
Dark, loose-fitting clothing is recommended after your tan.
Disposable undergarments are included if desired.
That's it. You're Ready!
After Your Appointment
Avoid Water or Sweating Until Rinse Time
Wait the recommended development time before showering.
Standard solution: 8–12 hours
Express solution: 1–3 hours
Avoid chlorinated pools for 18 hours
First Rinse
Rinse with lukewarm water only. No soap during the initial rinse.
You may notice cosmetic bronzer rinsing away — this is normal.
Pat Dry
Gently pat skin dry. Avoid rubbing.
Moisturize Daily
Hydrated skin helps your tan fade evenly and extend its life.
Professional body butters, tan-friendly shower gel, and tan-extending products are available in studio to help protect and prolong your results.
Avoid Long Hot Baths, Swimming, & Excessive Exfoliation
Heat, chlorine, friction, and harsh products can accelerate fading.
Any instructions specific to your tan will be provided at your appointment!
