PREPARING FOR YOUR INSTANT TAN

3 Steps to a successful Instant Tan!

Step 1 - Preparation

  • Prime your skin for treatment by exfoliating and moisturising the previour night. (Moisturising on the day will dilute your tone.)
  • Do any waxing or shaving at least 24 hours before your appointment as this should reduce any skin irritation.
  • Only wear loose fitting clothes as the lotion may mark tight fitting garments.
  • Wear dark or old underwear as the lotion will stain light Nylon and Silk.
  • Always tint eyelashes and eyebrows at least one full day before your appointment to avoid possible discolouration by the lotion.

Step 2 - Post Tanning

  • Please leave your Instant Tan on for at least 3 hours and preferably overnight before showering or taking a bath. This gives your Instant Tan a chance to fully develop.
  • Avoid sitting on light coloured furniture until you have showered or taken a bath as the lotion can cause discolouration.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan.
  • If when you shower, you see a brown colour in the water, this will only be surplus lotion being removed.

Step 3 - Caring for your Tan

  • Moisturise regularly to help maintain your tan.
  • Avoid long hot baths and showers as these speed up exfoliation.
  • Pat your skin dry after a bath or shower as rubbing your skin may rub off your tan.
  • Avoid swimming pools as the chlorine will bleach your tan.
  • Exercise carefully to reduce sweating as this will cause your tan to fade unevenly.

This treatment is completely cosmetic and does not give protection from the sun.
