For the healthiest tan, start with the healthiest skin:

Exfoliate your skin the night before. This promotes an even coverage and lengthens the duration of your tan by removing dead skin that would otherwise flake off. Do not injure the skin by overdoing it.

Wax before or the morning of your tanning appointment. OR Shave the morning of or before your appointment. Use a sharp, clean razor, with a lubricating product (such as hair conditioner, which should be rinsed off.)

Remove or avoid wearing make-up, moisturizer, or deodorant as this acts as a barrier to the spray and stops the process from working properly.

Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and undergarments to your tanning appointment. The cosmetic bronzer may
rub off on clothing. It will wash out of most fabrics, but may stain nylons, lycra, and silks.

Maintaining Your Tan

For the most beautiful, long-lasting tan, develop a healthy skin regimen:

WAIT 12 hours before bathing.

We recommend you DO NOT shave the first shower after your tan. Wait until your second shower after your tan to shave your legs.

Apply moisturizer morning and evening after
your post-tan shower. Avoid moisturizers with
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) because they
promote exfoliation.

Avoid long, hot showers and baths, and scrubbing the skin. If you use a wash cloth when bathing, choose one
that is as soft as possible. Excessive friction on the skin may fade your tan prematurely.

Chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs can remove or shorten the longevity of your tan.

Take care when exercising as friction and excess
sweat may cause your tan to fade prematurely or unevenly.
