DO:

Exfoliate thoroughly and moisturise the day before your tan is to be applied. This will remove dead skin & helps to promote an even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan as well as helping to achieve even tanning results.
   
Spend a little extra time on knees, elbows, feet and hands. Exfoliate at least once a week to maintain, smooth healthy-looking skin
   
Shave or wax at least 8 hours before your spray tan session
   
Remove makeup, perfume & deodorant prior to spray tan for best results.
   
Take off Jewellery before your appointment
   
Remove contact lenses just before your tan
   
Wear dark loose fitting clothes. Spray tan solution washes out of most clothing very easily, but the cosmetic bronzer could wipe off on lighter coloured clothes, giving temporary discolouration.

 

Do NOT:

Don’t moisturise skin within 2 hours prior to your spray tan application, as lotions can create a barrier, preventing the absorption of tanning solution or lotions. Preferably wash off all moisturisers before your appointment.
   
Don’t apply any perfume or fragranced deodorant prior to your spray tan as this can interfere with the colour guide and colour of the tan
   
Don’t wear long boots after your tanning appointment of as these can make your tan patchy on your legs.
   
Don’t wear wool, nylon or silk during or after your spray tan application for at least 8 hours as the sunless ingredients could cause those materials to stain.
