Exfoliate using a mitt or glove, please stay away from body scrubs as these may contain ingredients that will affect the tan application. It is really important to do any hair removal 24 hours prior to tanning, including shaving, creams and waxing. If you have any medical concerns or if you are pregnant please consult your doctor before tanning. Make sure you arrive to your appointment with clean skin free of deodorant lotions or make up, and don't forget to bring an umbrella if it is raining. It's your choice. Most clients wear underwear, though your options can be discussed at your appointment. Your tan will last much longer if you follow these simple steps. Use a gentle body wash instead of soap and invest in a good quality body butter or lotion (available at the studio). You should get between 5-10 days out of your tan. Of course, I just request that my male clients wear underwear whilst being tanned. Brides, Mothers of the bride, Formal girls, people attending special occasions such as a night out, people going on holidays. Try it, you will love it. Depending on the brand 1-8 hours, during this period do not get wet or cause excessive sweat. A Spray Tan if applied correctly on this skin tone will give a healthy glow to the skin, so yes you can have a spray tan and it will look great. All appointments are made by phone. I run strictly by an appointment only system, as this ensures your total privacy.
