PREPARING FOR YOUR SPRAY TAN
To get the best results from your spray tan:
1.Remove dead skin cells by doing a full body exfoliation this needs to be done the night before!
2.Shave/wax at least 24 hours before. This allows pores to close again, otherwise resulting in a ‘plucked chicken’ effect from the tanning solution sitting in the open pores.
3.Deodorants and perfumes can prohibit the absorption of the solution, therefore these should be removed before the tan is applied, preferably with water.and a wet flannel.
4.Do not use moisturisers on the day of the tan as they can act as a barrier to the solution.
5. Apply Nail Polish to your toes nails as the tanning procedure over time can dicolour your nails.
What Will Happen During My Treatment?
On your very first tanning session, I will ask you a number of questions and fill in a consultation form for you, this will be kept on file for your next visit and not entered onto any database.
Barrier cream will be applied to your hands and feet and any dry areas to prevent them from tanning too much.
I will then ask you to remove your clothing, leaving on what you feel comfortable in.
The spraying will take about 10-15 minutes, plus a few extra minutes to dry – but in your own home feel free to walk about for as long as you like! The spraying takes place in a cubicle to ensure spray goes on your skin and not into the air.
During treatment you will see the colour on your skin. This is a guide colour for myself to see whilst spraying. The tan will develop over 8 hours (max) into a gorgeous sunless tan. The guide colour will be seen washing off during your initial shower.
WHAT DO I WEAR WHILST TANNING?
We advise to wear dark underwear ie: a thong or bikini bottoms whilst tanning and most women choose to go topless.
But we would like to advise you that we want you to feel comfortable, so you wear what suits you.
Men - Boxer shorts or shorts to be worn.
HOW DARK WILL I GET?
There are different strengths of DHA, and your I will advise you of the one best suited to your skin tone, bearing in mind how dark you want to go. The darker you tan naturally, the darker you will go with a spray tan.
WHAT ABOUT STREAKING OR TURNING ORANGE?
Fake tanning has come a long way since the early days. Better solutions, machines, training and spray tan technology virtually eliminates these issues. NAILEDNFAKEIT Spray Therapists are experienced in producing non-streaky tans and will ensure the right solution is chosen for your colouring.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY TAN?
Wait at least 8 hours before showering.
Wear dark, loose clothing during the development time of the tan. The tan will wash out of most clothing but may stain lighter coloured items. Tight clothing may also cause rub off, resulting in lighter patches on your skin.
Do not do excessive exercise and perspire during the tans development time.
Try not to take long baths or go swimming as chlorine will fade the tan quicker.
Pat, Do not rub yourself dry after showering or bathing.
Moisturise, is the key to keeping your tan, so do this EVERY day.
