Make the Most of Your LA Tan
Before your tan
- Exfoliate thoroughly before your appointment.
- Shave or wax at least 24 hours beforehand.
- Avoid deodorant, perfume, aftershave and makeup.
- Do not moisturise immediately before tanning, as this can create a barrier.
- Wear dark, loose-fitting clothes and remove jewellery.
After your tan
- Allow at least eight hours before showering or bathing unless your product instructions state otherwise.
- Avoid exercise and perspiration during development.
- Do not rub or repeatedly touch the developing tan.
- Avoid swimming because chlorine can shorten the life of the tan.
- Keep showers brief, avoid excessive soap and pat the skin dry.
- Moisturise regularly with an oil-free moisturiser.
- Use a tan extender to prolong your colour.
With correct preparation and aftercare, an LA Tan should generally last five to seven days.
