Preparing for your tanning session
A few simple steps before you tan make a real difference to your results.
Get the best from your session with a little preparation.
- Exfoliate the day before to remove dead skin cells for a more even tan.
- Remove make-up, perfume and deodorant - some ingredients can react with UV light.
- Take off jewellery and contact lenses before you start.
- Avoid shaving or waxing right before your session to prevent irritation.
- Apply an indoor tanning lotion evenly, and wash your hands afterwards.
- Protect sensitive areas - use a lip balm with SPF, and cover tattoos if you want to protect them from fading.
Taking any new medication? Let us know - some medicines make your skin more sensitive to UV.
