Prep: Before the session
- Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.
- Shave, wax and exfoliate* your skin at least 24 hours before your appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA (tanning agent) needs amino acids to develop. The pores also need time to close before the application othewise it may leave dark spots.
- Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil based products as they can leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing properly.
- Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant the day of the appointment.
- Moisturize your skin days prior to your appointment (not the day of the appointment).
- The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit. If you're not going nude, we recommend garments that are black and you're okay with the tan lines that will be present (think black strapless bra and underwear/ bikini).
- We recommend you wear dark and loose fitting clothing when leaving your appointment.
- EXFOLIATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO ACHIEVE AN OPTIMAL RESULT THAT WILL LAST UP TO 10 DAYS. WE SUGGEST TO USE A GOOD QUALITY SCRUB WITH AN EXFOLIATING MITT THAT WILL ALLOW THE ELIMINATION OF DEAD SKIN CELLS AND IMPURITIES. PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO ROUGH AREAS LIKE FEET, ANKLES, ELBOWS, ARMPITS, KNUCKLES, COLLARBONES...)
- IF THE EXFOLIATION HASN'T BEEN DONE PROPERLY, THE RESULT COULD BE UNEVEN AND FADE QUICKLY. NUDA PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO FACE GRADUALLY AND EVENLY WHEN THE SKIN IS PROPERLY PREPARED.
Post: After the session
- 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 the solution on, go to bed wearing long clothes.
- Wait 8-12 hours (regular tan solution) or 1-5 hours (rapid tan solution) before showering. Your Spray Tan Artist will give you the proper instruction based on your desired tan.
- Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, we recommend not using soap.
- Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion.
- Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long hot baths or showers can cause fast fading.
- Do not wax areas where the solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.
- 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 residues.
