*If you are booking a group appointment, please send these instructions to all members of your party.

1. Start moisturizing your skin as soon as you can and be prepared to moisturize frequently after your tan. Let's Glow's tan extending lotion will keep your tan looking vibrant for up to two weeks.

2. About a week prior to your appointment, discontinue products that are not spray tan friendly. This includes, AHA and BHA skincare products, retinol, Retin-A and any acne creams that cause your skin to shed.

3. Shave and exfoliate 24-48 hours before your appointment (must be a razor without a moisture strip).

4. Continue to moisturize after shaving/exfoliating leading up to the day of your tan (focus on areas that are known to get particularly dry- elbows, wrists, knees and ankles).

DO NOT use moisturizer, body oils, makeup, perfume or deodorant on the day of your tan unless you’re able to wash it all off before your appointment. If you shower on the day of your appointment, make it a few hours beforehand so your pores close back up before your tan. Be sure to have CLEAN SKIN for your appointment.

6. If you use Dove or Olay soap, cut it out of your routine in the days leading up to your tan and while you have your tan. Consider purchasing our "Good To Glow" body wash to prep your skin and to use during your tan. This is formulated for spray tans/self tans and will not strip your tan like many drug store/grocery store brands which contain silicones, parabens, sulfates and petroleum by-products.

Tips:

*Avoid washing hair in your last shower before your appointment AND in your post-tan rinse. Shampoo & conditioner leave behind a residue on your skin that will act as a barrier. It can also strip your tan in your first rinse. You can wash & condition hair 24 hours after spray tan application.

*Your spray tan should be the last beauty service completed before a big event. Waxes, massages, manicures & pedicures need to be completed at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan.

*Avoid oily exfoliating scrubs. We have exfoliating mitts linked above for purchase to help in prepping for your tan (these can also be used to help remove old tans).

*Have dark, loose clothing to change into after your appointment (preferably no robes). Aim for a loose long sleeve shirt and PJ pants.

*You'll be given aftercare instructions at your appointment, but take a peek at our "Aftercare" and "Products" highlights on Instagram to better prepare. If you need to purchase any products, (Good To Glow Body Wash and our tan extending lotion- both linked above- will be your tan's best friends), we can bring your products to your appointment or coordinate a pickup prior to your appointment.

*If you are tanning for a vacation, time your appointment in such a way that you can rinse before needing to board a flight. Travel Kits with our most-loved products are available for purchase.

*If you're tanning for an important event (such as your wedding), please plan in such a way that you have at MINIMUM one rinse + one full shower prior to needing to put on your wedding dress.
