Looking after your
spray tan!
You are more likely to achieve a deeper, longer lasting tan if you allow the reaction process the time it needs to complete.
Your spray tanning solution contains the active ingredients DHA and or Erythrulose it is recommended that you leave your colour guide on for about 6 - 8 hours and overnight if possible
before showering or taking a bath. Contact with liquids during the first 8 hours after a Sunless Tanning application may have a detrimental effect on the final results.
While wearing your colour guide it is recommended that you:
- Avoid wearing tight clothes for at least 5 hours.
- Avoid wearing a tight bra, socks or shoes after your tanning session. Thongs are a good choice .
- Do not apply moisturiser, deodorants or shave or wax
- Avoid strenuous exercise; sweating can inhibit the development of your tan.
- Do not sit on leather or light coloured fabrics until your colour guide is washed off, as colour guides can stain
- Hydrated skin is essential in maintaining your sunless tan so moisturise regularly after showering.
- Pat skin dry after bathing to help your tan last longer.
- Chlorine in swimming pools may bleach your tan or cause it to come off unevenly.
- Excessive sweating may cause your tan to fade unevenly.
- Use gentle shower products:
Some soaps are too harsh... using them can take tan off in patches. Use soaps and body washes that are sodium laurel sulphate free. Sodium laurel sulphate is a harsh foaming agent.
Note: As your tan starts to wear off, it may hold on certain
areas of your body longer than others.
Gentle exfoliation of the heavier areas will ensure a
natural-looking fade of your tan.
TIPS ON REMOVING YOUR TAN
If you have a build up from weeks of regular tanning try covering yourself in baby oil.. leave it on as long as possible then jump in a hot bath or if you're like me and don’t have one, a hot shower will be fine.. exfoliate with a glove and exfoliant wash and it should scrub straight off and be ready for your new one!!
