CONSIDERATIONS WHEN BOOKING
We recommend booking your OrganicTan 1-2 days prior to your vacation or 1-3 days prior to your special event (such as wedding or grad, etc.). Your first appointment will take approximately 45 minutes to allow for your colour consult and any questions you may have throughout the appointment. Following appointments are usually 30 minutes or less.
Ensure you complete any waxing, sugaring or shaving at least 1 day prior. And your OrganicTan spray tan should be the last step in your beauty routine: be sure to book your appointment after other beauty services such as lash extensions, mani/pedis, hair wash/colouring appointments, etc. Rest assured we take extra precautions during the appointment to ensure lasting results with your other beauty treatments.
PREPPING YOUR SKIN
6 hours or more prior to your appointment shower and gently exfoliate your face and body using your SunnaTan exfoliating mitt. If you don't have one, just be sure to use a face cloth or loofah - no fancy scrubs, exfoliants or oils. Oil-based exfoliates or lotions will block the tanning process, leaving a residue between your skin and the tanning solution.Avoid applying lotions/oils to your skin following your shower. Come to your appointment without make-up or lotions - clean skin is best!
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing following your appointment (moisture-wicking sport-wear is not recommended). We also recommend avoiding white clothing - there is little to no rub-off bronzer, but it's always best to be safe.
During your tan, you may be in whatever state of undressed you are comfortable with. Some options are: a bathing suit, strapless bra or bandeau, topless, or nude. Keep in mind the tan lines you want or do not want to have - especially for special occasions or beach vacations.
ALLOW YOUR TAN TO ABSORB AND DEVELOP
Remember you will need to avoid contact with liquids or any activities that will result in sweating for up to 24 hours following your appointment to allow the solution to absorb and develop. Please plan accordingly.
Another important consideration following your appointment is limiting skin-to-skin contact during the development period. Breastfeeding mamas - this takes some extra planning.
AVOID A SUNBURN
It is important to ensure you do not come to your appointment with sunburned skin. Sunburned skin has been damaged and will often peel/flake, affecting your sunless tan.
