Before your appointment

• Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.

• Shave, wax and exfoliate* the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before the application otherwise it may leaves dark spots.

• Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil-based products 24 hours before your appointment as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing correctly.

• Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant the day of the appointment.

• Moisturize the skin days prior the session (not the day of the appointment).

• The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.

• I recommend you to wear looses and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.

  ***Exfoliation is the MOST important step to achieve an optimal result that will lasts up to 10 days. I suggest to use a good quality scrub with an exfoliating mitt or dry brush will allow the elimination of dead skin cells and impurities. Pay attention to rough areas like feet, ankles, elbows, armpits, knuckles, collarbones, etc.

  If the exfoliation hasn't been done property, the result of your tan could be uneven and fade quickly.

After your appointment

• Avoid activities that cause sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it's raining or snowing outside, wear long and covering clothes.

• Do not apply cream or makeup on the skin during the development period.

• If you will be sleeping with solutions on; go to bed wearing long clothes.

• Wait 8 to 12 hours or 1 to 5 hours before showering, depending on the solution and what Maddie referred to you.

• Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, I recommend not using soap.

• Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. Buy GOLDEN GIRL MOISTURIZER in our shop!

• Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long hot baths or showers often can cause faster fading.

• Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of your tan. Shaving may be done occasionally with a non moisture strip razor.

• Use gentle facial cleansers, no oil-based or exfoliating products.

• Avoid lotion, soap and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading.

• Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan resicues.

Maintenance

• Taking short showers and moisturizing daily with a natural lotion will help lengthen the life of your tan.

• Spray tan SAFE lotion

• Lotions to stay away from - Dove, Bath + Body Works, Olay, Dial, Irish Spring

• The following activities can strip your spray tan faster: Chlorine, salt water, long hot showers/baths, saunas and excessive sweating.

• Wear SPF!! A spray tan does not protect you from the sun and is not a “base tan”
