Before your tan

Exfoliate 24 hours before
Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and hands so the tan develops more evenly.

Shave or wax ahead of time
Try to do this at least 6 - 24 hours before your appointment so the skin has time to settle.

Skip heavy skincare + oils
Avoid lotions, body oils, and rich moisturizers right before your appointment since they can create a barrier on the skin.

Arrive clean + dry
Come without deodorant, perfume, makeup, or body products whenever possible.

Wear loose, dark clothing
Choose relaxed clothing and shoes that won’t rub against your fresh tan.

Plan around water + sweat
Avoid workouts, swimming, or anything that may cause sweating until after your recommended rinse time.

Protect your glow.

Follow your rinse time
Your rinse time will depend on whether you booked an OG or Rapid tan. Follow the instructions given at your appointment for the best result.

Keep showers short + lukewarm
Long, hot showers can dry the skin and speed up fading.

Moisturize every day
Hydrated skin helps your tan fade more evenly and keeps your glow looking fresh longer.

Pat, don’t rub
After showering, gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing with a towel.

Skip exfoliating until you’re ready to remove the tan
Scrubs, exfoliating mitts, and strong acids can make your tan fade faster.

Be mindful of chlorine + sweat
Pools, hot tubs, and frequent heavy sweating can shorten the life of your tan.

Use tan-friendly products
Choose gentle, hydrating body care and avoid harsh soaps or products that strip the skin.
