How to Prepare for your Tanning Session
Preparation is a MUST!
Step 1: The Night Before Your Tan
A pre-tan pampering session is essential if you want to achieve a flawless, long lasting, patch free tan - this should include:
De-fluffing - Yes, ladies/gents, it is imperative to engage in hair removal 12-48 hours before your tan, NOT ON THE DAY. This time allows pores to close properly and stop that tell-tale dotting that can appear after your tan and ensure your tan looks smooth and gorgeous - Shaving can be done the day before, Waxing needs to be done ideally 48 hours prior to your tan.
Exfoliation _ Indulge in full-body exfoliation to remove lingering dead skin build-up. Make sure you pay particular attention to your hands, fete, elbows and knees. This will ensure your tan looks smooth, even, radiant and last longer. We recommend you avoid using an oil based exfoliator.
Step 2: On the Day
Where possible it is best to have a quick shower on the day to remove any deodorant, moisturizers, makeup or perfume you may have been wearing throughout the day, as these will cause a barrier to the Spray Tan Solution. When you are ready/it's time to get tanned, decide what you are going to get tanned wearing. (eg, a bikini, undergarments or women can be sprayed in the nude). We have disposable undergarments and hair available for purchase. Please arrive or prepare to secure your hair up and away from your body.

What to expect
You will be asked into the spray booth soon after arrival and changing into your tanning wear. Your hair, hands, fingers, elbows, feet, toes and knees will be protected from oversaturation with a barrier cream and you will be asked if you would like to be lightly misted with a pH balancing spray prior (part of our extender package) to being asked into the spray tent. You will be verbally guided into varying poses to assure a beautiful even tan. On completion of the spray you will be asked to dry for approximately 5 minutes prior to donning your loose dark clothing.
You will be given the option of 4 different shades: Clear (no instant bronzer), Dark, Venetian, and Double Dark

Prolong your tan
.Step 3: After your Tan
After a few minutes drying time you'll be asked if you would like you skin toning & moisturizing post treatment (part of the extender package) and ready to pop your clothes back on. We recommend choosing something dark and loose... Tight clothes will leave wear marks. You tan will take at least 8 hours to fully develop so PLEASE AVOID:
1- working up a sweat during this time
2- Coming into con tact with rain/ water (use wipes to wash hands)
3. Avoid touching your skin during the development time as this will stain your hand and cannot be easily removed.
The color you will see directly after the application of your spray tan is only a guide color & not the finished color. This guide color will gradually get darker over the development time, this is quite normal and please don't panic! when you have your first shower, either after the full 8 hours, or in the morning if you have slept the guide color, you will see the guide color running off you skin and will only then reveal the true color of your tan.
Step 4: Looking After Your Tan
To keep your tan looking gorgeous you will need to:
1- Avoid long hot baths and showers
2-After a shower always pat your skin dry with towel do not rub
3- Moisturize daily, this will prolong your tan & keep it looking nice and fresh
4. After about the 4th day & then every other day after, very gently exfoliate your skin. This will help to even out the tan again & ensure even fading.
5- Last, but not least, ENJOY YOUR TAN
