Tanning

Before

• We recommend you obtain a patch test, if you have never used any self-tanning products before or have sensitive skin.
• Do not use any other self tanning products 1 week before treatment.
• The day before or morning of your treatment exfoliate your body in the shower paying attention to your hands, elbows, knees, ankles and feet.
• Wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to treatment.
• On the day of your tanning treatment DO NOT wear any make-up, deodorant, perfume, body oils or lotions as these may react with the tanning agents.
• Wear loose, dark clothing, sandals or flip flops.

After

Immediately after your tan application:

• Wear loose clothing.
• Keep skin completely dry, avoid water contact.
• Do not apply any products over the developing tan.
• Allow tan to develop for at least 6/8 hours (overnight if possible).
• Avoid other beauty/hair treatments whilst tan is developing.
• Avoid activities that make you perspire.
• Drink hot beverages through a straw as contact with a hot cup can strip colour from around your mouth. Toothpaste can also strip colour while your tan develops.

After your tan has developed:

• Rinse off remaining colour guide with warm water. Once the water runs clear gently wash yourself with a mild soap.
• Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s) as they can strip colour.
• Avoid swimming pools as Chlorine will prematurely fade your tan.
• To prolong your tan use moisturise daily, locking in colour. This will also hydrate your skin.
• 5 to 7 days after your spray tan we recommend you gently exfoliate your skin with Fake Bake Passion Fruit Body
• Polish. Repeat this every 2 days thereafter to ensure your tan fades evenly and to prepare your skin for your next tan application.  

**WARNING - Self Tanning products do not contain a sunscreen and do not protect against sunburn.  Repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase the risk of skin ageing, skin cancer and other harmful effects to the skin, even if you do not usually burn.
