BEFORE & AFTER CARE

• DO exfoliate at least 24 hours before your spray tan
  Make sure you pay special attention to elbows, knees, heels and hands! Dry and rough skin will absorb the tan much more – yet fade quicker and patchy
• DO shave at least 24 hours before your spray tan (only applies if you shave)
• DO wax at least 48 hours before your spray tan (only applies if you wax)
• DO wear either black underwear/bikini
  Whilst the tan washes out it might stain certain fabrics such as white nylon 
• DO NOT moisturise on the same day as your spray tan
  This will act like a barrier and will prevent the spray tan being absorbed into the skin
• DO NOT shower directly before your spray tan
  Many shower gels can influence the PH level of your skin.
  Slightly acidic (sweaty) skin, tans best so if you need a shower simply rinse and avoid shampoos and shower gels altogether
• DO NOT wear any perfume or deodorant on the day of your spray tan.
  This can have an effect on your PH level and the tan might turn out patchy
• DO NOT wear make up or jewellery on the day of your spray tan

Before and after a Tantrick spray tan.

• DO wear lose closing for the rest of the day to avoid rubbing which could result in an uneven tan and also avoid socks for the first few hours.
• DO moisturise regularly - As this will help prolong your tan   
• DO exfoliate only rough areas like knees, heels and elbows regularly to allow your tan to fade evenly  
• DO use retail items to top up your face 
  This is the first area that starts to fade and you can keep it natural looking by using our recommended retail items.
• DO have regular top up sessions so we can build and extend the life of your tan.
• DO wear only flip flops or sandals if you MUST go out.
• DO NOT shower for at least 8 -10 hours (ideally it is best if you can leave the tan on over night without showering or washing it off)
  During this time the tan will absorb into your skin and start to develop (please note that it can take up to 24 hours for the tan to fully develop so a “top up” is only recommended after that time to ensure that you can see the full results)
• DO NOT exercise or sweat excessively as this could have an influence on the development of your tan
• DO NOT come into contact with leather
  Leather is skin and will tan just like your tan so be careful with leather seats in cars, couches etc and use towels to protect them.
• DO NOT take long baths as this will result in your tan fading quicker
• DO NOT rub your skin with a towel after a shower. Make sure you pat your skin dry instead. 
• DO NOT exfoliate the whole body after your spray tan as this removes the tan
• DO NOT touch your skin immediately after your tan has been applied! This will cause the palms of your hands to discolour and will remove the tan from your body!
• DO NOT go swimming, the chlorine will strip your tan.
