Preparation for sunless tanning is vital to its success. Through following proper preparation techniques you will receive lasting, beautiful results. If you have any addition questions concerning the preparation for sunless tanning, feel free to speak with one of our experienced staff members. 

NO COSMEDICS
Do not apply moisturizers, perfumes or lotions prior to your tanning session. It is also recommended that you do not wear any make-up or deodorant before your sunless tanning service. The skin should be void of any and all products that may cause a barrier or splotchy appearance with the tan.

EXFOLIATE
Before each sunless tanning session, it is always recommended that you exfoliate the area being treated. Removing dead, dry skin cells that may prevent the absorption of DHA bronzers into fresh healthy skin cells is vital to the sunless tanning process. Exfoliation allows for the tanning spray to absorb into the skin and oxidize to a brilliant bronze tint. If proper exfoliation is not done, the sunless tan may look unnatural, blotchy and uneven. Our staff recommends using a moisturizing body scrub the morning of your service to promote healthy, exfoliated skin. While a moisturizing body scrub may be beneficial, you must avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products or in-shower moisturizers. Products such as these may cause the tan to appear orange and prevents full absorption.

PREVENT STAINING
Use lip balm and a light blending cream on your lips and in-between fingers and toes. This prevents discoloration or color grouping in unwanted areas. If desired, blending cream may also be used on the elbows and other creases in the skin that may prevent even application. We recommend that you speak with one of our staff members regarding the stain prevention regime before applying any products to your skin before the session.

DRESS APPROPRIATELY
Wearing dark clothing to your session is highly recommended. The spray tanning tint may cause discoloration or staining in lighter clothing. The clothing you wear should also be loose fitting and comfortable. The minimum amount of direct contact with the skin is best immediately after a sunless tanning session.
