Tan
Preparation
1.
Thoroughly exfoliate your body the night before
using exfoliating hand gloves or a washer used
firmly. Pay special attention to feet, ankles,
knees, elbows as these areas tend to be drier and
may grab too much tan.
2.
Hair removal must be done prior to tanning. Wax 24
hours before. Shaving on the day is fine (if you
have sensitive skin shave day before)
3.
Do not moisturise your body, or apply deodorant,
wear makeup or perfume to your tanning session.
These cause a barrier on the skin hindering
development of full colour potential. You may
moisturise your face, elbows, knees and feet if you
find you are quite dry in those areas. This
will assist the tan to not grab too much on those
areas.
4.
Wear whatever
you feel most comfortable in. Most women wear a
g-string, full brief or go nude. For guys, boy shorts or jocks.
5.
Wear loose, dark clothing after tanning. No tight
clothing, closed in shoes or boots. Jewellery will
have to be removed and a bra cannot be put back on.
These items rub on the tan and the outcome is an
uneven result.
After Tan Care
1.
Do not shower for 8-12 hours after your tan. Use
a
Body Shampoo (without Sodium Laurel Sulphate) to gently cleanse skin without
stripping off tan and to keep skin hydrated.
2.
Do not undertake activities that will cause you to
perspire. This will affect the result of your tan.
3.
Moisturise twice daily. This promotes a longer
lasting tan and enables tan to fade evenly. Use
Bronzing Custard every second day, alternating with
Body Frosting to prolong the life of your tan and to
keep your tan dark!
4.
Avoid activities that naturally exfoliate your
skin. This includes long baths, shaving too often,
rubbing with a towel (pat dry only) Chlorinated
pools bleach your tan.
5.
Sit on a towel and not directly onto furniture after
your tanning session.
6.
Do not use lotions with Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA's)
or Glycolic Acid. Their purpose is to promote
exfoliation to reveal new skin.
