Prep & Aftercare

Get more days out of your glow.

A little prep before your visit and a simple routine afterwards is the difference between a tan that fades patchy in three days and one that wears smooth for a full week or longer.

Bronzed skin being gently moisturised

Before your appointment

Exfoliate the night before

A gentle scrub on elbows, knees, ankles and hands removes dead skin so the colour develops evenly, without dark patches at the joints.

Arrive bare and product-free

Skip lotion, deodorant, makeup and perfume on the day. Any residue on the skin can create a barrier and cause the tan to grab unevenly.

Wear loose, dark clothing

Come in something wide-legged and dark coloured that will not rub against the skin on the way home, and bring flip-flops if we are doing your feet.

Caring for your glow

Time your first rinse

Leave the solution on for the number of hours your artist recommends for your chosen shade, then take a quick, cool, product-free rinse to remove the bronzer guide colour.

Moisturise daily

From the day after your rinse, apply an oil-free, fragrance-light moisturiser morning and night. Hydrated skin fades slower and more evenly.

Avoid what strips colour

Skip long hot showers, swimming pools, saunas, shaving and heavy exfoliation for the first 3-4 days to protect the colour and get the most wear out of your tan.
