Tanning

Before

• If you are taking medication please inform your therapist (this will not necessarily prevent you from receiving a Fake Bake treatment).
• You MUST receive a patch test at least 24 hours prior to your Fake Bake treatment.
• Do not use any other self tanning products 1 week before treatment.
• Wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to treatment.
• On the day of your Fake Bake treatment DO NOT wear any make-up, deodorant, perfume, body oils or lotions as these may react with the tanning agents in Fake Bake Self-Tan.
• Wear loose, dark clothing, sandals or flip flops.

“You are never fully dressed without a spray tan.”

After

Immediately after your tan:

• Wear loose, dark clothing.
• Keep skin completely dry, avoid water contact.
• Do not apply any products over the developing tan.
• Allow tan to develop for at least 6/8 hours (excluding 60 Minutes Spray Tan Liquid and 5 Minute Mousse Self-Tan).
• Avoid other beauty/hair treatments whilst tan is developing.
• Avoid activities that make you perspire.
• Drink hot beverages through a straw as contact with a hot cup can strip colour from around your mouth. Toothpaste can also strip colour while your tan develops.

After your tan has developed:

• Rinse off remaining colour guide with warm/hot water. Once the water runs clear gently wash yourself with a mild soap.
• Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s) as they can strip colour.
• Avoid swimming pools as Chlorine will prematurely fade your tan.
