Pre Tan & After Tan Care Tips

Pre Tan Preparation
· Shave or wax and moisturise the night before your application NOT ON THE DAY
· Exfoliate thoroughly and moisturise the day before your tan as this will remove dead skin and provide a new, smooth surface for your tan and. helps to promote an even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan. Focus on areas such as knees, elbows, feet, and ankles.
· If possible, please have a shower before the technician comes to you, as you will need to remove make-ups, deodorants, perfumes, jewellery and moisturiser before spray tan.
· Remove contact lenses during your session
· Do not have a spray tan if you are pregnant or breast-feeding (as a precaution)

Do not be shy. Spray tanners have seen it all. The less you wear, the better the results. If you feel more comfortable wearing your underwear or a full bathing suit do that. Most people wear just a G-String but this is a personal choice. The Technicians is fully trained to operate in a discreet manner and fully respect client confidentially.

After Tan Care
The application of the product takes less than 10 minutes and feels touch dry almost immediately. It is recommended that you wear dark light loose clothing after being sprayed, as full development of your tan will take 6 - 8 hours and any undue friction from tight clothing may affect the final result.

· Solution washes out of most clothing very easily but tends to stain nylon and Lycra materials and therefore dark coloured underwear is recommended
· Wait at least six hours before showering or leave over night if possible.
· It is ok for some colour (bronzer) to come off when you first shower.
· When in the shower do not scrub your skin. Wash your body with body wash but without a loofah and when drying, pat your skin rather than rub it.
· Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan. Sandals are a good choice.
· Avoid applying moisturises or deodorants.
· Avoid wearing tight clothing for at least 5 hours.
· All swimming, showering and vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 5 hours as this can inhibit the development of your tan.
· Don't sit on light coloured fabrics until you've showered or taken a bath as the colour guide can cause discolouration.
· Apply generous amounts of moisturiser to help retain skin cells and extend the life of your Spray Tan

Summer Daize Body Bronzing Solution works 100% perfectly on 100% perfect skin. If you have very dry, hard or particularly absorbent skin on the feet, hands, knees or elbows you may apply a small amount of moisturizer to these areas about an hour after your Spray tan. You must always blend any moisturiser into the skin and not wipe it off, as this will remove the solution. Your Technician is fully trained to advise you about any problem areas on your skin.
Note: The use of hot baths, spas and swimming in chlorinated pools will reduce the life of your tan.

Summer Daize has a unique range of products specially formulated to prepare and nourish your skin. If you wish to prolong your spray on suntan, ask your Technician for details on these products.

Maintaining the Tan

It is recommended you follow these general guidelines to maintain your tan:
· Moisturise regularly (use oil-free moisturiser).
· Avoid long hot baths and showers as this speeds up exfoliation.
· Pat your skin dry after a bath or shower. Rubbing your skin may rub off your tan.
· Avoid swimming pools or seawater as these can reduce your tan.
