Please do this at least
one day prior to your session. Waxing will make
tans last longer due to less shaving.
-
Depilatory
hair removal products. (Nair, Veet, Neet etc)

Shaving
exfoliates skin and fades tans. Use a sharp clean
razor, with a lubricating product. A dull razor
scrapes off more skin and thus removes the tan.

Rubbing
dry after a show exfoliates you more.
Try to pat dry instead!
-
Body
hair bleach products
-
Submersion
in hot tub, swimming pool with chlorine, salt
water (an application of a thick waterproof lotion
sun block helps-try Bullfrog) Even a long hot
bath can effect the "tan" on some people.

A
women's tan may also develop differently during
various hormonal changes (ovulation, menstruation,
pregnancy). It may be streaky, patchy, fade worse,
or produce lighter color.
Please ask for our pH
Balancing Spray prior to your tanning session.

People
with oily skin tend to develop a lighter tan then
people with dry skin. The oils can coat the skin,
dry skin absorbs more product faster. Please
ask for our Sluff Wipes so you can remove any
excess oils and pH balance your skin prior to
your tanning session.
