Traditional tanning methods, such as sun bathing, or tanning beds can cause severe damage to your skin. Your chances of developing skin cancer increase every time your skin is exposed to UV rays. Sun damage is a leading cause wrinkles, skin spots and premature aging.

Before and after Sunless Tan treatment

• Prior to tanning, take a shower and use a puff pad, exfoliating glove
  or a wash cloth to rub away any dead skin cells.
• Most patients shave the area to be tanned.
• Do not apply body lotion, deodorant or foundation make-up prior
  to your tanning session. These will keep the tanning spray from working
  with your skin.
• Wear loose fitting clothes and sandals. They will be more comfortable
  to wear after your session, and help maximize tanning results.
• Bring your smallest swim suit or undergarments in which you would
  like to be tanned. Cotton is recommended. G-strings are acceptable.
• Wait at least 8 hours before showering or exercising after your tanning
  session. The tan will process and darken during this time.
• Hydrated skin maintains the tan longer. After showering, apply moisturizer.
  Drink water. Do not use lotions with Alpha-Hydroxy.
• Bring a towel for your car seats. The bronzer can rub off sweaty bare
  legs onto your car seat.
• ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN. Spray tans do not protect the skin from
  sunburns and UV damage.
