Tanning Tips

FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE TAN...

Before you come in:

- Any hair removal treatments such as shaving or waxing should be performed the day before your appointment.

- It is recommended that you exfoliate your skin with Tuscan Tan™ Exfoliating Sugar Scrub. Do not use any other brand of exfoliant as they may contain oils or other ingredients which may adversely effect the end tanning result.

- After exfoliating, it is recommended that you wash using Tuscan Tan™ pH Balanced Skin Wash to restore the pH balance of your skin to normal levels. This will ensure the colour of your tan develops and maintains as it should.

- After showering, do not apply any products to your skin such as moisturiser, deodorant, perfume or make-up.

- Bring with you to your appointment; a brief dark coloured bathing suit or underwear to wear during your appointment. Alternatively, most salons offer disposable underwear.

- Bring with you to your appointment loose clothing together with thongs to wear afterwards.

After your tan:

Day 1:
- It is recommended that you do not shower, swim, or do any physical activity that may cause perspiration, or apply products to their skin during the 90 minute development time.
Note: the Tuscan Tan Rapid Amino 90™ spray on tan will not ‘over develop’ if left on the skin longer than the 90 minute development time.

- After the 90 minute development time you may shower, however it is most important that this first shower is QUICK – just a quick rinse for no more than 30 seconds (no washing of hair etc). Also it is recommended that you do not to use body wash, soaps or exfoliation scrubs during this first shower.
NOTE: It is normal for some residual bronzer to rinse off during this first shower leaving a lighter tan than when first applied, however the colour will continue to develop over the next few hours.

- After showering, pat your skin dry with your towel rather than rub so as not to prematurely fade the tan.

- Do not apply any moisturiser or body products until the following day.

Day 2 onwards:
- From day two onwards you may resume showering as normal, however it is recommended that you only use Tuscan Tan™ pH Balanced Skin Wash to cleanse your skin whilst showering, as soap, other body wash products or exfoliants may strip the tan.

- After showering, pat your skin dry with your towel rather than rub so as not to prematurely fade the tan.

- Apply Tuscan Tan™ Tinted Tan Extender lotion daily to maintain the tan and extend its longevity.
