Tan Care
PRE-TAN CARE
18 - 24 hours prior to session:
- It is important to exfoliate with a gentle, oil free body scrub. Pay special attention to dry areas like your feet, knees, and elbows.
- Shave and/or wax at least 24 hours prior to your session.
DAY OF SESSION
- Do not apply deodorant, perfume, body oils, lotion or moisturizer to the skin. This can create an uneven tan.
- Remove makeup, contact lenses and jewelry before your session.
- Dark undergarments are best to wear during your actual session. Disposable thongs are also available in the salon.
- Wear dark, loose fitting cotton clothing and flip flops to your appointment

MAINTENANCE
