Before Your Sunless Session (24-48 Hours)
💆🏻♀️ Get pampered! That’s right, schedule that massage, manicure, pedicure, facial, and all other beauty services before your tanning session.
Exfoliate. Exfoliating before your tanning session is a critical part of the process for an even and longer-lasting tan. We recommend using an exfoliating mitt (loofahs are not enough). Don’t forget important parts like the elbows, ankles, and underarms.
Remove any unwanted hair by shaving or waxing.
🙅🏻♀️ No oil. Stay away from any oil-based products, as they can leave a film on your skin and interfere with your sunless tan by blocking your skin.
Drink your water 💦 Hydration is key and will help keep your sunless tan retained longer.
The Day of Your Sunless Session
Come prepared. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing. No tight clothing (skinny jeans, yoga pants, socks). Chance of rain? ☔️ Be sure to cover from head to toe to avoid the possibility of ruining your results.
If possible, do a warm water rinse to remove any sweat or body product residues at least 4 hours before your appointment. We do not recommend using any type of “moisturizing” soap as they can leave a barrier on your skin on the day of your sunless tan session.
🙅🏻♀️ No lotions, deodorants, oils, perfumes, or body sprays.
Ladies: Pack or wear dark-colored undergarments or swimsuits. You may undress to your comfort level. Please note: if you are tanning for an occasion where you would prefer not to have a tan line up top, you may tan topless. If you do not feel comfortable going topless, you must bring an adhesive bra of some sort. We cannot work around strapless bra lines for backless tops or dresses. We can provide pasties upon request.
Men: Wear dark boxers or briefs. Men MUST wear some sort of undergarment. No exceptions.
After Your Sunless Tan Session
Wear your dark loose clothing while your tan develops.
Do not get wet for eight hours with a regular solution. This includes (not limited to) showers, exercise, swimming, saunas, washing the dishes, bathing kids, etc. Refrain from wearing tight clothing such as sports bras or tight-fitting shoes.
When showering, only use your hands using loofahs or washcloths may exfoliate your skin faster, causing your tan to fade faster. We recommend using the Perfect Glow Body Wash for post-spray tan showering. Pat yourself dry with the towel post-shower.
Keep hydrated. 💦 Drinking water and staying hydrated from the inside out will help your tan retain longer. Avoid using products such as mineral oil, AHA/BHAs, and petroleum. alcohol or any exfoliating ingredients will strip your tan faster. We recommend using the Perfect Glow Lotion and Tan Extender.
Wear your SPF. Sunless tanning does not offer any UV protection. Wearing an SPF of at least 30 or higher is recommended.
Having a pool or beach day? 🏖 We recommend limiting your time to 15-minute increments, if possible. Longer periods in the water will fade your tan faster from the pool chemicals or salt water. We recommend using the Perfect Glow Tan Extender to help keep your sunless tan through your trip.
