Ready to prepare... if you need to wax or shave try to do it the day before. of course you can shave after as well, as needed. You will need to exfoliate in the shower before you come (do not use an oil based exfoliating scrub "sugar scrubs or salt scrubs" – this will leave a residue on the skin which can act as a barrier when we apply the product on your body).
Please don't put on any lotion…we want to get the product on to clean skin.


Now let's get started… you will undress to either dark cotton underwear or whatever you feel comfortable in, just remember the product can stain nylon, silk or wool – but washes out of everything else if washed right away. It takes around five to ten minutes to be sprayed. Expect to be with us for about 15 minutes. Please bring something a little bit loose and dark to wear after your appointment as the color can rub off inside your clothes while it is setting. Don’t wear tight jeans/pants as they absorb the product from the skin. After your tan, do not be alarmed if you see any of the surface color fade from your body (this is from your clothing rubbing against your skin but once you take your shower, it will even out).

How long until I shower... 9-12 hours is suggested – anything less you will have a diminishing result. You will see color washing off the first time you shower…do not be alarmed. This is just the surface color that was applied. The tan left behind will gently and gradually fade until your next exfoliation.

What about exercising... again 9-12 hours is suggested – excessive perspiration can hinder the tanning process and lessen the final result of your Faux Glow tan (so make sure if it's hot outside - don't allow yourself to sweat -stay inside with the air conditioner on).

How can I maintain it... take quick, warm showers; avoid long, hot baths; gently towel dry, blot the skin lightly; and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Avoid anything that exfoliates especially alpha hydroxyl and glycolic creams. Lotions and shower gels that help maintain your faux glow can be purchased, but as part of your service we will provide you with the afterglow

Before your next tan... if you want to start completely over on fresh new skin, you will need to soak for 15-20 minutes in a hot bath and then exfoliate (what a perfect excuse for some pampering...don't forget to light some candles).
