Pre-Visit Checklist Before You Book
Getting the best results from your experience starts with preparation. Use this checklist to confirm you’re set up for even color and long wear: (1) Research the provider’s credentials and process for skin-safe solutions. (2) Ask what skin prep steps they recommend and whether they offer a guide. (3) Schedule your appointment with enough room for aftercare and avoid immediate spray tan swim or heavy sweating plans. (4) Review your personal skincare routine—skip harsh exfoliants and strong acids close to the session if your provider advises against it. (5) Remove deodorant, oils, lotions, and makeup before you arrive. (6) Wear loose, dark clothing for the ride home to reduce transfer while the solution develops.
Application Checklist for an Even, Flawless Finish
During the appointment, a professional process matters just as much as prep. Confirm these steps happen: (1) Skin is prepped with proper cleansing and attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. (2) The technician checks for patchiness risks—such as rough texture, shaving residue, or uneven moisture levels. (3) Equipment is clean and calibrated for consistent coverage. (4) A skilled tech applies in a controlled pattern, building color gradually rather than over-spraying. (5) Blending is addressed at tricky zones like hands, fingers, wrists, and hairline. (6) You’re offered guidance on what to do while the tan develops, including how to move comfortably without streaks. If anything feels off, speak up before the application is complete.
Aftercare Checklist to Preserve Color and Avoid Streaks
After your session, treat aftercare like part of the service. Follow this checklist: (1) Keep the skin dry and avoid touching or rubbing during the initial set time recommended by your provider. (2) Rinse according to the instructions given, using a gentle, non-scrubbing approach. (3) Moisturize daily to extend wear—focus on areas that tend to fade first. (4) Use mild, sulfate-free cleansers if your provider recommends them. (5) Avoid exfoliating treatments that can strip color too quickly. (6) Shave and use strong body washes only when your technician advises it, since they can interrupt the fade pattern. Consistent, gentle care helps your results look smooth and natural for longer.
