Exfoliate the night before you apply your tan. Do not apply moisturiser to your skin the day of applying your tan.
Wear gloves or use a tanning mitt.
Wear suitable clothing after tanning— loose dark clothes, flip flops and remember no bra or socks after your tan.
Once your tan is applied, you must allow it to dry completely and do not wet your skin for at least five hours after applying your tan.
Shower the following morning. If you can bring the shower nozzle down to the feet and shower upwards for the first few minutes, this will remove the residue evenly.
Apply moisturiser twice daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin exfoliates and will keep your tan looking better for longer.
Avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin for five days.
