Tanning
Begin with exfoliation the night prior to your session. Opt for an oil-free exfoliator, or use exfoliating gloves or a loofah in combination with a body gel, which is less drying to the skin than soap. Pay special attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and feet. Exfoliation is crucial for optimal results.
Complete any shaving or waxing the night before. Schedule pedicures and manicures for the day prior to your tan, not afterwards. Remove any jewelry before your session and consider leaving it at home.
For the best results, avoid showering, sweating, or getting wet for a minimum of 12 hours post-session.
