You may have heard it so many times before that it has become white noise to you, but exfoliating your body before a spray tan will make a huge difference to the end result and longevity of your tan.

Make sure you shave at least 12 hours before. If you are rushing with the razor minutes before your tan, chances are, you are going to cut yourself accidentally. Also, when you run the blade across your skin, it will automatically open your pores up, and spraying close to this time may give your legs a look of irritation when the solution settles in those pores.

Please don’t moisturise before your tan. Moisturiser acts as a barrier on the skin (which is why we apply it to your hands and knee’s etc.), which can mean the end result may not be as effective OR flawless as it would usually be.

The same applies for perfume, oils and deodorant during your tan. Some of these products can give an immediately adverse looking affect to your tan (although it normally straightens itself out by the next day), you want it looking perfect as soon as you step out of the tent.
