Sunless Tanning: Preparation
Regardless of you chosen method of sunless tanning, general preparations remain the same. Here’s your general preparation checklist:
-
Shave or wax the day before, but definitely not immediately before the sunless tan. Preparing the skin for any treatment by stressing it with this level of irritation will increase the chances of product reaction. Oils in waxes or shave creams can interfere with sunless tan absorption as well.
-
Clear nail polish, or tinted if you like, will help prevent any colour being absorbed by your finger or toe nails.
-
Prepare loose fitting, dark clothing to change into after the treatment because it is likely some colour transfer will occur. Avoid wool, nylon or silk which can be difficult to wash
-
You may want to prepare the areas you will spend your 2 – 8 hours of showerless waiting for possible colour transfer. Place towels on the seat of your car, couch, chair, or other areas you will rest. If you tend to sleep through it, switch the silk sheets and pillow cases to something easier to clean, like cotton. If you have a pet, keep them locked away during the entire process – you don't want them to brush up against you or lick you causing unevenness or streaking!
-
Avoid carrying a heavy shoulder bag if you can. The pressure on your shoulder will remove the solution from your shoulder, not to mention the possibility of sweating from carrying it.
-
It's probably best to avoid important dinners or friendly get togethers during the showerless waiting time after sunless tanning. The solution is easily transferred and I doubt your friends will appreciate the brown stains on their new white clothes.
