Creating The Perfect Tan
STEP 2: Cleanse and exfoliate To ensure the most even coverage and longest lasting tanning results, it is important that you exfoliate thoroughly prior to your appointment. Exfoliating removes any layers of dry, dead skin cells ensuring that your spray tan is applied to fresh new skin cells. We recommend that you cleanse and exfoliate using SunFX Body Wash and SunFX Body Polish. It is important that you pay attention to any areas of rough skin such as knees, ankles, elbows, heels and the tops of your feet. It is also advisable that you wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Avoid using deodorants, moisturizers, perfume or make-up on the day of your appointment as these can reduce the effectiveness of your SunFX spray on tan. STEP 3: Suitable attire Wear suitable tanning attire to your appointment. When getting your SunFX spray on tan you can wear as little or as much clothing as you are comfortable with. We suggest a bikini for women and dark shorts or trunks for men. Disposable women's bikini bottoms are also available. The choice is entirely yours and will depend on how much coverage you wish to achieve. While SunFX tanning solutions do not typically stain clothing, it is best to wear loose fitting, comfortable dark clothing to your appointment. Any slight rub-off on your clothing should wash out easily, however light colored leather, acrylic or other sensitive fabrics may be harder to clean and therefore should not be worn to, or immediately after your appointment. STEP 4: The consultation Your tanning consultation will be reasonably brief. Your tanning technician will have some questions about the level of tanning you want to achieve, whether you want a subtle, standard or deep tan. Aside from this your technician will be paying close attention to your skin type to help identify the best level of solution, and may have some questions around skin sensitivity. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want during this consultation, as your technician will be only too happy to explain things to you. STEP 5: The application Your spray tan will be professionally applied in privacy. The spray tan application itself takes about 5 minutes and feels dry almost immediately. You will immediatley see a natural looking tan that will continue to develop over the next 5 to 7 hours. STEP 6: After tan care Once your SunFX spray tan has been applied, the tanning process now begins. The all natural tanning agent contained in the tanning solution reacts with the amino acids in the skin to create a beautifully natural tan. You should not shower for at least 8 hours after application and showering the next morning is the best option. You should also avoid any of the following activities for at least 5 hours after your tanning application:
STEP 7: Extending your tan Providing you have followed these instructions up to this point, your new SunFX tan should last you for up to 5 to 7 days, depending on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, activities etc. Some people may even find that their SunFX tan lasts for as long as 10 days. Regularly moisturizing twice daily will extend the overall life of your tan. Avoiding long baths, hot tubs, and extended swimming sessions will also help prolong the life of your tan. Also avoid any products designed to exfoliate the skin.
