Preparing for a Sunless Application

• Exfoliate skin at least 8 hours before your sunless session to smooth skin for even tanning results. Spend a little extra time on knees, elbows, feet and hands.
• Shave at least 6 hours before your sunless tanning session. We always suggest shaving with soap and water only - no shaving cream, as shaving cream contains lanolin (an oil) that acts as a barrier between the tanning solution and the skin.
• Any waxing should be done 1-2 days prior to your sunless session.
• If skin is dry, apply a light weight WATER-based (no oils) lotion to your skin lightly and evenly at least 2 hours prior to your sunless session.
• Do NOT apply any oils, lotions, deodorants, or perfume immediately prior to your sunless session.
  Remove makeup prior to your airbrush session for the best results.
• After your sunless session, wear dark loose fitting clothing for 4-6 hours.

After your Sunless Application

• Wait at least 4-6 hours before you shower. 8-10 hours is ideal. This will allow time for the self tanning reaction to occur on the skin.
• Don't worry if you see color wash off from your first shower. This is normal. What you see washing off is the immediate cosmetic bronzer, and what is left behind is the beautiful sunless tan.
• Do NOT apply moisturizer until AFTER your first shower, as this could affect the immediate reaction of the sunless solution on the skin and can possibly cause streaking.
• Moisturize daily, especially after bathing, to maintain your sunless tanning application. When you do exfoliate, do so gently to preserve an even sunless tan.
• If sun-bathing, remember to wear sunscreen. Sunless products do not contain any sunscreen. Although you will look like you have a tan, you will still need to wear sunscreen to prevent your skin from possibly burning.
