Fake Bake Tanning Preparation

For best results, please follow the below procedure’s prior to your tanning treatment.

• Shave or wax at least 24 hrs prior to your tanning treatment
• Exfoliate 24 hrs before your tanning treatment paying attention to your hands, elbows, knees, ankles and feet.
• Do not use any other self-tanning products 1 week before the treatment.
• DO NOT apply body oils or lotions on the day of your Fake Bake treatment.
• DO NOT apply deodorant or perfume and remove all make-up prior to your tanning treatment.
• Wear loose, dark clothing, sandals or flip flops for after the treatment.

Please Note:

• Spray Tanning is not suitable for people with respiratory problems or within the first 3 months of pregnancy.
• Anyone under the age of 16 must have their parent’s written consent prior to the tan.

Fake Bake Tanning Aftercare

For best results, please follow the below procedure’s after your tanning treatment

Immediately after your tan:

Your tan will take 6-8 hrs to fully develop its full colour strength. Therefore please follow these guidelines:

• Wear loose, dark clothing and avoid wearing tight fitting garments as this may rub away some of the tan.
• Keep skin completely dry, avoid water contact.
• Do not apply any product over the developing tan.
• Avoid other beauty/hair treatments whilst tan is developing.
• Avoid activities that make your perspire.
• Traces of tanning solution can be transferred onto clothing and bed sheets, however, this can be easily removed in the wash.

After your tan has developed

• Rinse off the remaining colour guide with warm/hot water. You will notice the guide colour in the water washing away- not your tan. Once the water runs clear you can gently wash yourself with mild soap and then pat yourself dry rather than rubbing yourself dry.
• Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA’s) as they can strip colour.
• Avoid swimming pools as chlorine will prematurely fade your tan.

Tanning Maintenance Tips

• Moisturise daily with an ‘oil free moisturiser. I recommend using Fake Bake Smoothie Oil or Fake Bake Oil Free Moisturiser.These help to lock in colour and hydrate your skin.
• Your tan should last 5 -7 days, depending on your skin type, skin colour and the extent of your normal bathing routines.
• 5-7 days after your tan we recommend you gently exfoliate your skin. Repeat this every 2 days thereafter to ensure your tan fades evenly and to prepare your skin for your next Fake Bake tan.
