The primary active ingredient is a sugar derivative called DHA which when is sprayed on the top layers of your skin reacts with the amino acid, this creating a colour similar to a UV sun tan. As your skin sheds the tan fades naturally between 5-7 days after application.

 

Before your tanning session  

Shower & exfoliate your body

Avoid heavy moisturising shower gels

Do not apply moisturisers, deodorants, oil based products or perfume

Remove all make-up 

Wax/Shave at least 24 Hours before your session (Dotting in pores may appear otherwise)

Paint nails and toenails, especially if they are acrylics or similar

Wear loose dark clothing and open shoes e.g. Flip Flops

Avoid silk, wool & leather garments as tan will not wash out of these materials 

 

The Session  

Wear suitable swimwear or underwear to create desired result

If using underwear ensure its black as tan does not wash out of elastic/lace

Barrier cream will be applied to your hands & feet and other dry areas

You will be dry to dress straight after

Do not touch skin whilst developing to avoid tanned fingers

 

After Care

Avoid water on skin whilst tan is developing. Especially rain
