How do I prepare for my spray tan session?
1. Shower or bathe and exfoliate prior to your session. Since the chemical process affects only the top layer of skin, as your skin sloughs off, your tan can go with it. Your skin must be smooth, clean and dry to get a smooth, clean tan. NO LOTIONS PRIOR TO TANNING. NO LOOFAH-Loofah sponges can cause streaking; we recommend pre-tan exfoliating with a rough wash cloth or exfoliating wash. No oily exfoliating crème.
2. Wear loose fitting, dark clothing and flip-flop shoes after your spray tan session. Tight or rough clothes, such as jeans will rub on your skin, and reduce the effect of your tan. The tanning solution may stain silk, wool and synthetic fabrics, so these should not be worn in the first 24 hours after the spray tan session. I feel ideally if you can it is helpful to not pull up tight straps over your shoulders right after I tan you and also definitely no sports bra's pulled on right after I tan you.
3. Shave before your tan because you will not want to shave the day after.
** I recommend you do not use Dove soap or deodorant before you tan. Dove has a moisturizer in it that acts as a barrier. It is fine to use Dove products after the tan.
