How to make your Spraytan last
-
Add these clean products weeks before leading up to your spray tan appointment & continue to use weeks after to ensure a good base for the tan to last & for the tan to fade evenly (Do NOT use Dove, Palmolive etc).
Using body wash and moisturisers that contain extra chemicals such as fragrance or colouring can strip your skin causing your skin to crack & not last or not grab at all.
Body Wash:• MOOGOO Natural Milk Body Wash
• CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
• QV gentle wash
• Cetaphil Ultra Gentle Refreshing Body washMoisturiser:
• Use creams not lotions.
• QV cream
• CeraVe moisturising cream

Weeks leading up to your tan:
• Start using the correct products morning and night to keep your skin moisturised with no chemical build up.
• Avoid sun exposure as sun damage (peeling of skin) can sometimes only become visible once spray tan is applied to the skin even weeks later.
•Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. -
• Do all beauty treatments such as nails, brows, wash hair, lashes, facials etc.
• Shave/wax body
• Exfoliate your skin well, especially if you have old tan on. Exfoliating mitts are a great option. If washing hair day before, exfoliate after to ensure all residue is off skin.
-
• Shower before your appointment (try at least an hour before) but if earlier please try to use luke warm water.
• Arrive with bare skin (no deodorant, moisturiser on skin) If you need moisturiser on your face you can do a light layer of a clean product.
• Wear dark, loose clothing to your appointment. Cotton is the best choice of fabric. Oversized t shirts are a great option for summer. Dressing gowns a great option for winter. Please do not wear silk as it can swipe off the tan. Loose pants, pj’s are a great option too.
-
• Avoid getting wet/sweating after your spray tan
• If your spray tan looks marked from a seat belt etc, Don't worry that will rinse off after your first shower and is just the bronzer on top.
• Shower after discussed time using only water, no soap, rinse until water runs clear roughly 60 seconds.
• After your first rinse shower, wait 8 hours until you can have your second shower using body wash and start moisturising.
• Pat dry with towel don’t rub.
• Avoid swimming, hot/long baths and showers, saunas to ensure your tan lasts.
• Try to shower only once a day, moisturise as soon as you get out the shower.
• Moisturise twice daily.
• Stay hydrated! Dehydration causes dry skin and cracking.
-
• Please wear clothes that cover you as much as possible (trackies, hoodie, socks, umbrella)
