I will provide a guide on what depth of colour you should choose taking into consideration your natural skin tone and the look you would like to achieve
There are two types of Tan you can choose from
8 Hour Tan in 8%, 10%, 12%
This needs to stay on for 8 hours before washing off. It can be slept in and will easily wash off your bedding. After 8 hours it will stop developing and you'll will be left with your healthy glowing tan
Express Spray Tan
This only needs to be left on for 2 to 4 hours and will continue to develop for up to 8 hours. It's ideal if you'd like to go about your normal activities as after its rinsed off, you don't need to worry about rubbing the skin and impacting your results. Ideal if you have a night out and would like a last minute tan as this can be applied in the morning, ready for that evening. Also ideal if you want to go out and about whilst the tan develops as the base tan (which often looks darker) has been rinsed off.
Each bottle contains DHA which is a substance that reacts with the oxygen in the air which causes the skin to darken through a natural chemical reaction. It works with your own skins tones, so will match the tan you would get from UV rays and therefore gives a natural look. Only the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin are affected by this clever process and therefore as these cells start to fall off, your tan fades.
The level of DHA in the fake tan lotion you choose will determine how dark your final colour will be. I will guide you to choose the one that best suits your skin tone.
There is some prep work you need to do before your Spray Tan to get the best Results.
Full body and face exfoliation using a mitt and avoiding oily exfoliation shower gels.
No thick oily creams to be applied 24 hours before.
Avoid Aveno moisturiser for a week before, this acts as a barrier to the Tan.
No shaving or waxing 24 hours before.
Ideally no perfume, make up or deodorant to be used on the day of your tan or ensure it's all fully washed off before you arrive
When showering only pat dry with a towel.
Apply moisturiser or after sun daily.
If going on holiday avoid long periods of time in the pool, as chlorine will reduce the length of time it lasts. However if having a tan for holiday your natural tan will blend into your spray tan.
Your appointment will take around 20 minutes and I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
You will be offered paper knickers to wear, although you can keeps yours on if you would prefer.
All clothes and jewellery will need to be removed and a hair net given to protect any spray going on your hair.
Some clients choose to wear a strapless bra, this is your personal choice.
You will step into the spray tent and I will spray you with the tan which takes around 5 minutes. I will then dry you with warm air, you can then get dressed.
Wear dark loose clothing and ideally don't put a bra on afterwards as this can rub off your tan. I would also suggest avoiding flip flops as the straps can rub off the tan.
Some tan may transfer onto your clothes during developing time, however this washes off easily in the washing machine.
Whist your tan is developing you will need to avoid rubbing the skin so long trousers and long sleeves are the best option. Skin must be kept dry and avoid washing hands.
If you have leather seats in your car or at home, place something over these as leather can rub off your tan (not a towel as will also rub this off)
After your allotted time for developing, its time to shower. Stand under the shower ensuing all areas are rinsed and stay there until the water runs clear. If possible try to use low pressure water. Pat dry with a towel.
