Prep & Care

Step 01

Shower and Shave

Shower, shave, and wax at least 24 hours before your appointment. Skin needs time to settle so the tone takes evenly.

Step 02

Exfoliate Head To Boot

Scrub the day before with an oil-free exfoliant. Pay extra attention to elbows, knees, ankles, and hands.

Step 03

Hydrate The Hide

Drink water all week and moisturize daily up until the night before. Day-of, skip the lotion so the solution can bind to bare skin.

Step 04

Come Bare-Faced

Have no makeup, no perfume, no deodorant, and no SPF on prior to the technician's arrival. Anything on the skin acts as a barrier.

Step 05

Dress The Part

Wear loose clothing an oversized tee and baggy sweats. No tight waistbands, no bras, no socks.

Step 06

Clear The Calendar

No water on the skin, no sweat, and no tight clothes for 8–10 hours after an original tan, or 2–5 hours after a rapid tan.
