Protect your tan – Homecare
Do Not participate in any activity which may cause perspiration until you have washed the guide colour off. If it’s naturally a hot day – STAY COOL! Any sweating within the development time can alter the outcome of the tan.
Do Not use any sauna or steam type facilities until you have washed the guide colour off. Avoid swimming in this time too.
Do wash the guide colour off after the agreed amount of time has passed.
Do Stay in the shower until the water runs clear. Do not worry that a lot seems to be washing off, this is simply the excess guide colour and the true colour of the tan will still remain on the skin. Use circular motions with your hands over your skin to lift the guide colour of the skin.
Do pat yourself dry rather than harshly rubbing dry with the towel.
Do not use any harsh cleansers or peeling products for the time you wish your tan to stay on.
Do apply St Tropez Body moisturiser daily following your first shower as this will help to maintain your tan. Although we highly recommend the St Tropez moisturiser to keep your tan in tip top condition, if you choose to use an alternative, please ensure you use a WHITE CREAM moisturiser and avoid oils during the time you wish your tan to remain.
Do exfoliate approx. every 3 – 4 days using the Ruff Stuff Body Scrub from in the salon, to remove dry, dead skin cells. This will help prevent any lighter patches appearing on the skin and allow the tan to lift nicely and naturally whilst keeping your skin and tan in the best condition.
Do Not receive any waxing treatments during the time you wish your tan to remain on the skin.
SHOWERING OFF TIMEFRAMES
Please take a moment to remember which type of spray tan you have had done, and then follow the advice for showering below (this will have been agreed with you at your appointment, but should you forget please contact us at the salon):
8 HOUR DEVELOPMENT
Your skin must remain dry for at least the 8 hour period. Ensure your skin is kept dry for the full time to prevent this affecting the outcome. It does not matter if the tan is left on for more than 8 hours, it simply shouldn’t be less time than this.
Ensure you follow all of the above recommendations (the Do’s and Don’ts.)
EXPRESS TAN 1-3 HOUR DEVELOPMENT
This tan allows you to choose the depth of your tan depending on how long you leave it on before showering. A great option for anyone with an occasion on the same day, or for those who dislike like the feeling of tan being on the skin or do not wish to sleep in tan.
Keep an eye on the time! To get the colour you desire you must shower at the time agreed with your therapist to prevent it going darker than you wish. If you forget, here is a guide:
To shower 1 hour after the tan has been applied = light, sun kissed glow.
To shower 2 hours after the tan has been applied = Classic medium tan.
To shower 3 hours after the tan has been applied = Dark tan colour.
Ensure you follow all of the above recommendations (the Do’s and Dont’s)
It’s very important that the correct timeframes above are adhered to, because the longer the tan is left on before showering, the deeper the tan will end up being.
