How to Prepare For Your Tan (Do's and Don'ts)


The following guidelines are intended to maximise optimum and long lasting results for your Airbrush Tan, however if you choose not to follow these instructions we cannot accept responsibility for the results following application and NO REFUND WILL BE ISSUED!

DO'S PRIOR TO HAVING ANY AIRBUSH TANNING.

PREPARATION IS A MUST:

  1. Exfoliate 24hrs before having your airbrush tanning. Concentrate on elbows, hands, knees, ankles and feet. I prefer to do this in the shower on dry skin. Rub the granules over the skin then shower off for silky smooth skin. This is an important part of prepping the skin so that the tan can adhere to your skin and it will last longer and the result will be FAB. I would like to recommend St Tropez Body Polisher which is excellent and will work in conjunction with the Airport Tanning or Su-Do. It will also ensure that the tan wears off evenly. (Please read the section on Products)
  2. Do any shaving or waxing 24hrs before.
  3. Do wear some loose comfortable dark clothing, eg track suit bottoms/tee-shirt, NO bra!! (unless you are breast feeding in which case we wouldn't spray the breasts), or a loose fitting dress/skirt is fine if you are going back to work etc. and suitable foot wear. eg. flip flops/ open sandals. It is not advisable to wear expensive, light coloured garments until a shower has been taken 8 hrs or more after the application.

DON'TS

  1. Please don't wear any perfumes/deodorants or moisturise your skin on the day of having your tan done. They could react with the tan and I need clean skin on which to get the best results.
  2. Wear face make up, but eye make up is ok.
  3. Don't wax or shave on day of having your tan done.
  4. Don't wear too much jewellery.
  5. Don't wear tight fitting jeans & boots

DEVELOPING

  1. Whilst drying please do not allow palms of hands to touch tanned areas as the colour will transfer. We do not spray palms of hands therefore if this occurs we cannot take responsibility.
  2. The Airbrush tan for either St Tropez or Su-do requires a minimum of 5hrs to develop. We like to say leave it 8hrs before you next shower.
  3. Please avoid all bathing, showering and any exercise that may cause excessive perspiration for 5 hours or more. Please note this also includes placing your hands in water to wash up etc, as this will cause discolouration.

AFTERCARE.

SHOWERING

  1. When you first shower after the application you will be aware of the slight brown residue in the water. This is the colour guide washing away.
  2. Use a non oil based product for cleansing
  3. DO NOT over rub the skin - pat dry with soft towel
  4. Moisturise thoroughly everyday with a non oil based product. I strongly recommend the St Tropez Body moisturiser, it has L-Tyrosine (tan accelerator) and is excellent for maintaining your tan.
  5. You can exfoliate with body polish every 4th day to ensure the tan breaks down evenly.
