wedding spray tan prep

• To be safe, stop using retinols on face, neck and chest. Sometimes this can result in a patchy spray tan once developed.
• Stop using Dove, Dial and Olay soap ASAP. We carry spray tan friendly soap to use before & after.
• Focus on drinking lots of water and moisturizing your skin!

• Exfoliate and shave. Exfoliate your entire body with a natural body scrub or mitt. We recommend a coffee scrub!
• Scrub your underarms to remove deodorant build up.
• Mani/Pedi should be scheduled at least 24 hours prior.
• All waxing services should be scheduled at least 24 hours prior.

• Remove all product from your skin the day of your appointment. Your skin should be free of lotion, fragrance, makeup, and deodorant.  
• With ^^ all that being said, please do not shower before your appointment. If you have to rinse off lotions, do so (without soaps, no shaving) at least 4 hours before your appointment.
• Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

The more hydrated your skin is, the better your tan will look. Lotion 2x a day with a spray tan friendly lotion (no mineral oil). We recommend a body butter with cocoa butter or shea butter as a main ingredient!

 Avoid using any loofahs or washcloths during your showers. A clear, gel based body wash is best, or a hydrating bar soap (NOT DOVE!) We carry spray tan friendly soap that is designed to extend the life of your spray tan.

Avoid pools & hot tubs for long periods of time, long hot showers/baths, saunas, and excessive sweating. Your tan will not last very long if you plan on doing these things.

Skip intense workouts for 24 hours. After that, wear loose clothing and use a towel to pat sweat away.
