WHAT TO EXPECT:
You may wear a pair of disposable spa panties,
your own underwear or nothing at all. If you chose to wear
your own underwear or swim suit we recommend bringing something
black to ensure it will not be discolored by the self tanning
product. You will b We use our own special equipment and
our own self tanning solution. There is no smell, just a
cool misting sensation. It takes just a couple of minutes
to be sprayed and a full 15 minutes to dry in front of a
fan.
After tanning, we suggest wearing something
loose and dark. We say no jeans as denim can be very absorbent
and "sucks" the product off the skin.
For ladies we suggest no bra or handbag strap
on the shoulders straight afterwards as it can cut into
the tan.
Our solution is tinted so when you leave you
will already have a pleasantly tanned look. A little of
that color can rub off on the inside of your clothes. It
will not stain WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LEATHER AND NYLON.
So--if you are driving home in the summer you might want
to bring a towel to protect leather car seats.
After 12 hours you can shower. Do not worry if your tan
looks speckled. Allow the water to sheet thoroughly over
you--it is this sheeting action that is the final step in
making the tan smooth. You will see a tea color running
off you--do not be alarmed, this is not the tan washing
off, this is merely the tint that the technician used as
a color guide, it has to come off, don't worry. Only use
soap where necessary and bear in mind that shaving causes
the tan to fade quicker.
The resulting color will be very natural--don't
be alarmed if it looks too dark before you shower. The first
time you come to us it is best to wait twelve hours before
showering. You will get a good self tanning effect even
if you shower after four hours but for the best effect wait
twelve hours.
FAQ's:
When should I get
sprayed?
If you are doing it for a special event we recommend doing
it the day before or as close to the event as possible (allowing
12 hours to shower.)
How long does it
last?
5-7 days.
Can I choose the
color?
Yes, you can choose anything from a healthy glow to
a deep tan. We will guide you towards a choice that will
work well with your natural skin color. There is no color
chart. Everyone's result is slightly different, the product
works individually with your skins natural chemistry--no
two people will look the same. Our product is known for
giving a natural, warm color--not orange, yellow or ashy.
What if I think
my hands and feet look too pale?
This is sometimes an issue. Our technicians prefer
to spray your hands and feet a little lighter than the rest
of the body. The reason is that the skin on the hands and
feet absorbs the self tanner differently to the rest of
the body. It is very easy to turn hands and feet orange
and blotchy. We ask that you respect our technicians years
of self tanning experience and allow them to do hands and
feet gently.
How often do I get
sprayed?
You can do it one time for a special even or you can
do it once a week for a year round glow.
How do I prepare
for my tan?
Get any waxing, manicures or pedicures before you come.
If possible come with clean skin, no lotion, make-up or
deodorant. Bring something a little bit loose and dark for
afterwards. Don't go to the gym and avoid sweating immediately
after being sprayed. Avoid the rain!
