Tanning prep guide

Your base tan will be scheduled for the day prior to your show with the schedule starting at 1pm for most regional shows & as early as 9am for pro qualifiers.  Please be sure to leave your afternoon/day open.  There will be a $45 charge for Regional shows & a $60 Charge for Pro Qualifiers if you need to reschedule your time.  We cannot stress enough that you must plan for this. 

‍

Please be sure to exfoliate & moisturize your skin daily leading up to the show. Do this starting two weeks  from the competition to prepare and condition your skin for the best tanning results.  

‍

STOP moisturizing 5 days prior to your tan & stop using deodorant at least one week prior to your tan. ***Please NOTE: Do NOT use products such as Dove soap, Body Butter, or Coconut oil as they will hinder your skins ability to absorb the tanning product.

‍

Hair removal, other than on the face, should be done the night before your tanning session.  If you are waxing please wax 3 days prior to your tan.

Before you come for your tan, take a shower to exfoliate and neutralize the skin with baking soda.DO NOT forget to scrub under your neck, underarms, and your back! After your shower, DO NOT apply lotion and DO NOT use deodorant or any other product on your skin (e.g., scented body sprays, cologne) as it may affect your colour and it may make it difficult for you to dry.

‍

After your tan wear dark, loose fitting clothing. A long sleeve button-up cotton top is best. Do not wear jeans, tight pants, underwear, or bras after being tanned.
