Thank you so much for choosing Jaclyn Nicole Aesthetics, I am so excited to get you bronzed! Here's a note before we get you booked...
PLEASE READ:
PREPARATION:
- Exfoliate 24 hours prior to your appointment with an exfoliating mitt. Advise against using a body scrub/loofah combo, these tend to be oil-based and will leave a residue. This will remove dead skin and provide a new, smooth surface for your tan. Exfoliating helps to promote even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan.
- Be sure to wax at least 48 hours prior to your appointment and shaving should be done 24 hours before.
- Be sure to schedule your tan last in your beauty service routine. Waxing, manicures, pedicures, facials, lashes, etc at least 24 hours prior to scheduled tan.
- If mani/pedi completed day-of tan, let your nail artist to avoid any oils/lotions. If completed days after tan, your tan may become uneven due to soaking, acetone, oils, lotions, etc.
- Avoid bar soaps or cream-based body washes. Stay away from any Dove, Olay, Dial and Bath and Body Works products.These are known to leave a residue on the skin resulting in a streaky tan. Any gel-based body washes work best.
- Showering should be done at least four hours prior to tanning to allow your pH levels to neutralize.
- Do not arrive to appointment with lotion, makeup, deodorant, oils or any other product on the skin, as this will act as a barrier between skin and spray tan solution, adversely affecting the results.
- Please bring or wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and open-toed sandals to wear after your spray tan. Avoid any tight clothing such as leggings, sports bras or jeans. Wearing these will result in an uneven tan.
- Please wear whatever you are most comfortable in while getting sprayed! Clients tend to wear some of the following: underwear, thong, topless, strapless bra, bathing suit, nude, etc.
- Avoid any retinols, exfoliants and accutane a 3-5 days before. These are exfoliants which will result in a patchiness on the face. The face can always be skipped during your service if avoiding these is not an option.
AFTERCARE:
- Be sure to rinse at your directed time with lukewarm water and no soap. This is just a rinse off. No body wash, use your hands to help wash off the bronzers.
- All swimming, showering and exercise must be avoided while your tan is developing.
- Avoid applying moisturizers or deodorants while tan is developing.
- Do not touch your skin after your tan. You risk staining your hands.
In case of an accident, grab a fluffy makeup brush and buff out the water marks.
- Remember, on your first rinse off you will see some bronzer wash off. Don’t worry, you will be left with a gorgeous tan!
MAINTAINING:
- Wait until your color is fully developed to moisturize. Tans typically take 24 hours to fully develop, you want to give it the full processing tan before applying any products.
- Moisturize twice a day with a spray tan safe lotion. Avoid lotions or soap that contain alcohol, mineral oil, sulfates, parabens, and artificial fragrance.
- Limit any extended periods of time in water, hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, chlorine and salt water. If you plan to be, moisturize a little extra! Please be advised these will all just speed up the fading process.
- Avoid exfoliation throughout the life of your tan! Your spray tan is attached to the top layer of skin, therefore exfoliation will remove your tan. It is best to wash with hands only in areas where needed (Pits + Privates).
- Use only soap and water to wash your body. Shower gel applied by hand is the best option for cleansing and a gentle facial cleanser is recommended - no wash cloth or loofah for the duration of your tan.
- Pat dry with your towel instead of rubbing.
- Stay hydrated.
- Exfoliation also helps with bronzer build up on certain body parts. Spray tans are not meant to be layered. Before your next session, be sure to remove all previous tan from your skin.
- When your tan begins to fade, this means its time to exfoliate, and schedule your next spray tan session.
