Cleanse, shave, and exfoliate with oil-free products before your appointment. Skip moisturizers afterward to ensure optimal tan absorption. Plan any hair, spa, or workout treatments ahead of time for the best results.

• Avoid body and face moisturizer.

• Skip makeup, perfume, and deodorant.

• Wear loose, dark clothing for comfort after your tan.

• Stay completely dry for 6-8 hours—no sweating or water exposure until your first rinse.

• Your tan will gradually darken over the next 4-5 hours as it develops.

• ​You may feel slightly damp for about an hour after your tan, but you can go about your day as usual.

• When showering, use lukewarm water and mild, unscented soap. Keep showers short, and shave gently.

• Always pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. Moisturize daily with a mild lotion or tan extender to keep your glow lasting longer.

• Avoid direct skin contact when applying perfume—spray it onto clothing or hair instead.

• Minimize time in pools and hot tubs, as chlorine can cause your tan to fade faster. Any color transfer on clothing or sheets is temporary and will wash out easily.
