How to prepare for a tanning session

Spray tanning is a treatment that should not be taken lightly. It is a technique that depends 50% on the user and 50% on the technician.

It is important to know the current condition of your skin. Is it hydrated? Is it dry or very dry? Does it feel tight? Is it sensitive? It is necessary to establish a reference point to know how to treat it before tanning.

The skin should be in optimal conditions, meaning it should be hydrated and able to retain water, so that when the tanning application is done, the result is uniform, provides more hydration, and the skin appears more luminous.

Before a session, you should know in detail how to prepare yourself:

• Exfoliate one day before the session, preferably using a sponge or brush without using oily products, as they create a barrier on your skin.
• Take a shower 6 to 8 hours before the session so that the tanning solution settles on your skin in the best way.
• Arrive at the session with perfume and deodorant-free skin, as the alcohol in these products can react with the tanning solution and create green areas.
• Do not apply lotions or creams so that the tanning solution can adhere properly.
• Leave your earrings and jewelry at home to avoid leaving marks on your skin.
• Wear loose and preferably dark clothing to the session.
• After the treatment, you can resume your normal activities, but avoid excessive sweating and cardiovascular activity during the first 8 hours.
• After 8-10 hours, you can shower and have a perfect tan.

The tan should last on your skin for 7 to 10 days, depending on the care you take. This includes daily hydration with oil-free lotions, avoiding long showers with excessive hot water, using detergent-free soaps, and avoiding oily products directly on the skin unless you have extremely dry skin.

By following these basic care instructions, we ensure that your tan will fade gradually and without unwanted marks. Once the tan has completely faded, you can repeat the process after 12 days. It is important to remove the old tan before applying a new one.

It is important to maintain contact with the tanning technician for any questions and to receive all the recommendations regarding the treatment.
