Your Pre-Tan Preparation Guide

Pre-Tan Checklist

  • Prepare your body for tanning by exfoliating & moisturizing 24 hours in advance.
  • Pay special attention to elbows, knees, ankles, and any areas that tend to get dry.
  • Make sure your skin is clean and dry before your appointment.
  • If you wax or shave, make sure to do this at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. As a result, your pores will have time to close, preventing dark spots!
  • Avoid bar soaps, high-pH shower products, oil-based products, and in-shower moisturizers for 24 hours before your tan. The barrier created by these products may prevent the fast-acting tanning agents from developing on your skin.
  • Don’t apply moisturizer, perfume, deodorant, or makeup on the day of your appointment. This may cause discoloration or a patchy tan result that won’t last as long.
  • Wear loose clothing to put on after your appointment.
