Your guide to a perfect SOL® spray tan:
Before your tan:
Exfoliate skin thoroughly. Exfoliation creates the perfect canvas on which to apply colour by removing dry, aged skin cells to ensure your skin is most receptive to the tanning solution, and that your tan will fade evenly. We recommend that you exfoliate the day before your appointment to allow your skin’s natural oils to restore.
Any hair removal treatments such as shaving, waxing or use of depilatory creams, should also be performed the day before your appointment.
After showering, do not apply any products to your skin such as moisturiser, deodorant, perfume or make-up, as any product residue on the skin will create a barrier to the tan and prevent even absorption.
Wear loose, dark clothing to your tanning appointment and if you do not wish to have an ‘all over tan’ bring with you dark underwear or a dark bathing suit to wear during tanning. Most salons offer disposable underwear, so just enquire when booking.
After your spray tan:
Although our new Botanical Blend Quick Tan develops after just one to two hours, generally, your SOL™ spray tan will take 6 to 8 hours to fully develop. To ensure the best possible results, we recommend that you do not shower, swim, and engage in any physical activity that may cause perspiration, or apply products to your skin during the development time.
Once your SOL™ spray tan has fully developed, you may resume your normal routine, Please remember after showering, it’s best not to rub your skin with a towel, rather pat dry as rubbing will gradually remove the tan. Once dry, apply moisturiser liberally morning and night to maintain and extend the life of your tan.
