The Client Needs To Know

Before your client comes in for the tanning service, they should be aware of the following:

• Shower and exfoliate to eliminate the surface skin that is ready to sluff.
• If possible, apply nail polish or a clear to prevent the possibility of the nails becoming discolored by the solution.
• Wear loose fitting clothes to the session so that upon leaving, the clothing is less likely to scuff off the product and treated skin surface.
• Apply no lotions, creams, makeup or other products to the skin or jewelry which could block the tanning solution from penetrating or cause an uneven application or streaking.
• Wear an old, dark colored bathing suit or undergarments-planning ahead as to where they want their tan lines(if any). Make them aware that it is slightly possible that the garments they wear during the application, and those they wear home, could become stained by the tanning solution depending on the type of fabric, especially if it is white or light colored. Wash all garments upon returning home.
• Long hair should be tied up away from the face and neck to allow ready access and an even application.
• The client needs to plan ahead to not bathe, swim or otherwise get wet for 12 hours after the application. They should also avoid light-colored clothing or sitting on light colored or leather furniture for several hours especially if perspiring or in humid climates, as this could transfer the still-active solution to materials and discolor them.
• After the 12 hours, when they again bathe or shower, they may notice some color washing off - this is merely the excess. It's normal, and will still leave them with a deep tan.
• Their new tan will begin to fade over the next few days, but the fading can be slowed if they will moisturize regularly. The tan is only on the uppermost dead skin layer, which is perpetually being sluffed off.
• Keeping the skin moisturized and not exfoliating will slow the fading process and can extend their tan to perhaps 10 or more days.
