SUNLESS TANNING TIPS

Your sunless tan will look radiant and last longer if you follow these tips closely before and after your session.

PREPARE

    Do not wax 24 hours prior to your tanning session.
    Be sure to exfoliate thoroughly at least 24 hours before your session. Doing so will remove dry, flaky skin, and allow your skin to better absorb the sunless solution. It will also allow the solution to oxidize to a brilliant golden-brown color.
    Avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products and in-shower moisturizers in the 24 hours leading up to your session. These products can halt the bronzing reaction or cause the color to not develop as golden brown. The best option is a gel body wash.
    Do not apply lotions, moisturizers or perfumes prior to your session. It is also best not to wear make-up.
    Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and remove jewelry prior to your session.
    Disposable undergarments are provided.  However, please know that client confidentiality is priority and personal preference with regards to choice of tan lines or no tan lines is respected.

​

MAINTAIN

    You must avoid water entirely for at least 6 hours after your session, or you will stop the tanning process.
    Avoid activities that may cause you to perspire for at least 6 hours after your session.
    Avoid chemically treated pools and spas for at least 24 hours to prevent pre-mature fading.
    For maximum results, wait at least 8 hours before showering/bathing. And bathe with plain water only for the first 16 hours after your session to avoid fading.
    Avoid using bar soaps. We recommend using body washed without sulfates.  The Shea Moisture line is one of our favorites.
    After bathing, gently pat dry skin. The instant cosmetic bronzer will wash off – as it is designed to do – and will leave behind your sunless tan!
    After you shower, be sure to hydrate with a body moisturizer rich in shea butter. Again, the Shea Moisture line has great hydrators.  Moisturizing will further increase the life of your tan.
 

REFRESH

    Once you are ready to tan again, the best way to remove any remaining tan is to liberally apply Infinity Sun Exfoliant with Pineapple Extracts for up to 10 minutes.
    Shower gloves or a loofah can then be used to exfoliate your skin.
