SPRAY TAN

1. Dress Appropriately
The dyes from tanning products will stain lighter coloured clothing, so you should choose garments in darker colours that are easy to wash. Bring along a bag to hold garments while getting tanned to avoid have your underwear exposed to everyone.

2. Put Your Hair Up
You can’t have hair hanging on your shoulders and down your back because it makes a proper all over tan impossible. Put your hair up in cheap hair clips or with a hair band instead.

3. Choose Loose Slip-On Shoes
You might think that flip-flop sandals are a good choice after tanning, but the straps tend to rub away the tanning solution. Select a pair of easy to remove shoes that cover as little of the feet as possible.

4. Request a Manicure and Pedicure First
Get a manicure and pedicure first to protect your fingernails and toenails from dyes. A manicurist can trim and polish your nails to prevent lines on fingertips and toes after your spray tan at the salon.

5. Shower and Exfoliate
Before going to the salon or spa for your spray tan treatment, you should shower at home to remove flaky skin. If you have rough patches on your elbows or knees, then use an ex-foliating product to prevent dark areas caused by tanning dyes.

6. Choose a Sunny Day
After you get a tan at a spa or salon, the dyes must remain on the skin for several hours to set! 

7. Bring an Eyeglass or Contact Lens Case
You will need to remove eyeglasses during a tan and need a protective case to hold the items during the process. If you want to remove contact lens, then have a case available. Some people like to wear contact lenses during a spray tan, but you should discuss this with an optometrist.

8. Wax or Shave before Tanning
The tiny hairs on your body will create lighter lines during the tanning process. You can choose to shave and wax at home or request professional hair removal from our beauty therapist. (waxing needs to be done 24 hours prior to the spray tan).

9. Maintain Your Spray TanAfter going through a spray tanning process at a salon, you can make the dyes last longer by moisturising on a daily basis with gentle creams and lotions. Ask your beauty therapist to recommend a high-quality product that keeps your tan looking great for longer.

10 . Skin should be free from perfume and deodorant
We recommend you have a patch test prior to every treatment

After treatment advice;
Do not shower or bathe for a minimum of 4 hours after your treatment(St Tropez 8 hours)
Do not participate in any activity which may cause perspiration for at least 12 hours after the treatment. The guide colour can be left on overnight although it may transfer onto bed linen. It will wash out of cotton, but not so easily from man-made fibres or wool.
