How to Prepare Before Your Tan:

Getting your skin prepped properly makes all the difference in how your tan looks and lasts. Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth, even, and long-lasting glow ✨

24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR TAN:

  • Gently exfoliate your skin to remove any dry or dead skin

  • Pay extra attention when exfoliating dry areas like elbows, knees, hands, and feet for the most even results.

  • Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment

  • Avoid heavy oils or products that leave residue on the skin

  • Avoid retinols/retinoids.

  • Exfoliating acids (like AHAs or BHAs) can sometimes affect how evenly your tan develops, so it’s best to avoid them within 24 hours of your appointment.

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT:

  • Be ready with clean and product-free skin!

  • Do NOT wear:

    • lotion

    • oils

    • deodorant

    • perfume

    • makeup

  • Prepare loose, dark clothing to wear afterwards.

  • Avoid tight fabrics like leggings, bras, or socks right after your tan

RIGHT BEFORE YOUR TAN:

  • Make sure your skin is completely dry.

  • I will provide barrier cream for hands, feet, and dry areas.

  • Your comfort matters. This is a judgment-free, relaxed experience

QUICK REMINDERS:

  • Nails are totally fine, your tan will not affect them.

  • Hair can be worn however you’re most comfortable.

  • Staying well-hydrated before and after your tan helps your skin hold color more evenly and for longer-lasting results.

  • Don’t stress. Everything will be guided step-by-step during your appointment.

Come relaxed, clean, and ready to glow. I’ll take care of the rest 💗
