Tan Care

Preparing your skin for a tan

Manicures and pedicures are to be done 24 hours prior to your spray tan.
Waxing is best done a minimum of 24 hours prior to ensure all residue is off the skin.
Shaving is best done 6-24 hours prior to your appointment to allow pores to settle and reduce the chance of ‘black dots ‘ forming.
Exfoliating is best done each night for 3 days leading upto your spray tan to rid off dead skin cells.
Please arrive with clean skin free from deodorant, makeup, moisturiser or perfume.
We recommend using Azure Tan Exfoliating Scrub with salicylic and glycolic acid will gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog and shrink pores, and also remove the remaining traces of your previous tan, leaving the skin soft, smooth and prepped for your next tan application.
Also please do not use the following products as tan will not absorb product to maximum and your tan will not last. Dove, Nivea, Radox , Palmolive, soap bar, Suki, keep clear from any products that have sulphates in them. Opt for ph body wash products.

What to bring

Loose cotton clothing to wear after, nothing with thin straps. Silk or satin clothing should be avoided as these fabrics absorb moisture.
Bring slides, thongs or slippers ( no closed shoes )
A hair net, sticky soles ( to protect your feet) and a disposable g string is provided for you.
If it's raining, bring suitable clothing that's weather protected to ensure your tan does not get ruined. A hoodie, tracksuit and towel are best for wet weather

Post tan tips

No body wash or soap is to be used after the first initial shower, use your hands to thoroughly brush off the excess bronzer. Do not panic if it looks as though your tan has washed off, this is just the cosmetic bronzer, your tan will be developed in 24 hours.
No body moisturiser can be applied until your second shower as the DHA needs to develop and this is best done with your skin free from any lotions. You will then need to moisturise after every shower from this onwards. The more hydrated your skin is the longer your tan will last.
No high impact exercise for the first 16-24 hours avoid doing anything that causes perspiration.
Short warm showers work best. Long and hot showers will fade out your tan.
Always pat dry your skin by gently pressing into your skin, do not rub as this can damage your tan by causing exfoliation.
Drinking lots of water keeps your skin hydrated, by keeping your skin hydrated this will help your tan last longer and fade off evenly.
Invest in body wash and moisturisers that are free from SLS, parabens and mineral oils as these ingredients are known to affect the longevity of your tan. Azure tan products can be found in our shop now section. Keep away from these brands Nivea, Dove, Palmers, Vaseline, Garnier and any body butters.
