Prepare:

• Always exfoliate before a sunless tan with a non-oil based scrub or natural loofah.

• For the smoothest application and a long lasting tan, exfoliate the skin 2-3 days in a row prior to application.

• This will ensure you remove as many dead skin cells as possible for a flawless sunless tan.

• Make sure to exfoliate the entire body where the sunless tanner will be applied and focus on the areas that are prone to dryness such as:

1. Shaving should be done 24 hours prior to application.
2. Waxing should be done at least 48 hours prior to application.
3. Laser hair removal should be done 4 or 5 days prior to a spray tan.

• Please refrain from using sunless tanners for at least 2 weeks prior to a laser hair removal appointment.
• Avoid applying any perfume, cream, lotion, deodorant and makeup before a self tanning application, a clean canvas is always best.
• Barrier cream however, may be applied to hands and feet as well as any other dry spots. (This will prevent those areas from developing too dark or patchy, for a more even finish.)
• Be sure to avoid any moisture while your tan is developing, such as water and sweating.
• Any area that gets wet while your sunless tan is developing can end up lighter, spotty or streaky.

Maintain:

• Take lukewarm showers.
• Pat your skin dry with a towel, never rub the skin.
• Please hold off on moisturizing your skin until after your second shower, and refrain from applying moisturizer following your first rinse.
• Use oil free and fragrance-free moisturizer to prevent stripping the tan.
• Keeping your skin hydrated will prolong the lifespan of the tan.
• Moisturize and drink plenty of water to keep your skin healthy from the outside and from within.
• Avoid exfoliating the skin until you are getting ready for your next sunless tan application.
• If you notice your tan fading, you may gently exfoliate to get rid of the dead skin cells and even out the tan.
• Your tan will continue to develop for the next 24 hours.
• While uncommon, a sunless tan can develop differently during various hormonal cycles.
• Factors such as ovulation, menstruation, and even elevated stress levels may result in a lighter tan.

Avoid:

• Avoid all derivates of Retin A and Retinol such as:
• Avoid any product containing:
• Avoid using any toners and serums that contain alcohol or witch hazel.
• Avoid facial scrubs, blackhead strips and microdermabrasion.
• Avoid wash cloths, loofahs, exfoliating mitts or wipes.
• Avoid waxing, depilatory hair removers, hair inhibiting lotions, laser hair removal and dull razors.
• Avoid chlorine pools, hot tubs, saunas and excessive sweating.
