Tips for Tanners
Skin Patch tests are free of charge and recommended for allergic or very sensitive skin types.
Pre-Tan
• Shower and exfoliate skin prior to spray tanning session, or for best results book in for our recommended professional exfoliation treatment(s) - If you choose to exfoliate at home, we recommend the Pure Fiji Coconut Sugar Rub or Black Magic Exfoliate, both available in salon.
• Wear dark, loose clothing, leaving a bra off for an hour after your treatment is advisable.
• Do not apply moistuiser to the body as it will interfere with the absorption of the tanning solution into the skin.
• Avoid razors with moisturising strips if shaving immediately prior to your tanning application.
• Wax or shave to remove unwanted hair 8 hours prior to tanning application to avoid irritation.
• About Face supplies disposable underwear and hair caps for men & women.
Post-Tan
• Depending on the tan chosen, the wash off time will vary from 1hrs- 8hrs. Please ensure you are familiar with the tan chosen for you and the wash off times recommended.
• Do not exercise excessively or participate in activities causing heavy perspiring for at least 6-8 hours after the spray tanning process, even if you have opted for a 1hr wash & wear tan.
• Avoid activities which naturally exfoliate the skin such as long baths and chlorine pools, if you are going to be exposed to swimming (ie holidays) we recommend purchasing a tan extender which will help the longevity of your tan if you apply daily.
• Moisturise your skin regularly, for longer lasting results we recommend the range of Pure Fiji body products FREE of AHA's BHA's and other ingredients not friendly to spray tans. We also have a range of professional tan extenders.
NB: Wash off after first shower is normal. This is simply the excess bronzer
