Pre-Tan Prep Tips
• Exfoliate Your Skin Thoroughly
Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists. This creates a smooth canvas for even color.
• Shave or Wax
Complete all hair removal prior to your appointment. Ideally, 24 hours in advance will allow pores to close and avoid irritation.
• Avoid Heavy Products
Start minimizing lotions, oils, and body products that can build up on the skin the day before.
The Day of Your Appointment

No lotion, oil, perfume, deodorant, or makeup
