Preparing for Your Sunless Tan

Before you step into our tanning room, make sure you are ready for your session with these four easy steps:

 

1. Tan at the right time. You need to avoid water for at least 4-8 hours after you tan. If you can’t avoid splishing, splashing (or sweating) for that time, it’s probably not the best time to tan.

 

2. Exfoliate before your session to remove dead, dry skin cells. This allows the bronzing spray to absorb into fresh, clean skin. Your tan will not only be more even, but will last longer as well. We suggest using a light exfoliating and moisturizing body scrub in your morning shower. Try to avoid bar soaps or in-shower moisturizers, which could interfere with the bronzing process.

 

3. Skip the lotion and makeup. While moisturizing your skin in the days following your tanning session can make it last longer, applying moisturizers and lotions can interfere with the bronzing spray absorbing into your skin. If you want to tan your face, remove any makeup you may be wearing before we get started.  Also, use deodorant sparingly to ensure a smooth, even tan.

 

4. Wear lose-fitting, dark clothing to your session. Also, be sure to remove all jewelry and leave it off until your tan is set.
