Local Girl Spray Tanning

Local Girls have the Best Tans...so this is how they prep for their flawless tan...

· Before your sunless tanning treatment be sure to shower and exfoliate. Exfoliating gloves work great. Do not use exfoliating products that contain oil as they leave a residue and block the tanning process. A simple mixure of brown sugar and olive oil is a great moisturizing exfoliant.
· Shaving and waxing is recommended 8-24 hours before your appointment. For best results, schedule your tanning treatment after you have completed the other beauty treatments in your routine including waxing, laser treatments, manicure and pedicure, hair appointments, etc.
· Do not use Dove Products/ Euricin at all before or after tan.
· Have dark, loose fitting clothing and flip flops to wear afterwards. We recommend not wearing tight clothing (bra’s) until after your first shower.
· Do not apply lotions, perfumes, or deodorants.
During the Tanning Treatment
· Your skin should be clean and dry, free of any oil, soap or deodorant residue that could interfere with your tanning treatment.
· Bring dark colored lingerie or a bathing suit to wear during tanning session.
· Please inform your technician of any skin problems, trouble spots, or any issues you may have had with other tanning products.
· The application time takes approximately 15 minutes; plan for 30 minutes from start to completion.
After Tan Care
· Once your tan is applied, it needs to dry completely. We recommend waiting 8-12 hours before your first post treatment shower. This development is imperative for best results.
· Until you have completed your “treatment develop time” do not expose your skin to water, sweating, work outs, or other beauty products. (Lotions, creams, make-up etc.)
· During your first shower the color run off is just the bronzer, not your tan washing off. Use your hands to run gently over skin in first shower.
· Use soap only where necessary. Scrubbing, exfoliating, shaving and waxing will cause the color to fade.
· Moisturizing is imperative to preserve the length of time your tan will last. Moisturizing also ensures that your tan fades naturally and evenly.
· Always pat dry after showering. Avoid alcohol based moisturizers.
· Swimming, hot tubs, saltwater and hot showers will fade your tan quickly and unevenly.
· Alcohol based perfume should be applied with caution.
· Having a sunless tan does NOT protect you from sunburns. It is very important to always wear sunscreen and reapply it often when spending time outdoors.
A spray tan treatment can only be as good as the condition of your skin. Healthy, moist skin will retain the results of your sunless tanning treatment session longer.

Please call if you have any questions. Now you will look bronze and beautiful!


The following instructions are for competition tanners, body and fitness:



Spray Tan Local Girl The Diva Team-Competition Crew
1. Exfoliate every day the week of the competition. Do not use exfoliates with oils in them! Purchasing exfoliating gloves from CVS is best. Use with a shower gel. Don’t scrub too hard as to where you make tiny scratches in your skin, the color will adhere to those scratches and turn really dark! Keep your skin very hydrated and moisturize at least twice daily the week before the competition. The better condition your skin is in, the better your tan will look and develop.

2. Shave the day before you get your tan! At least 12 hours prior. Your skin needs to be in a calm state when I tan you. If your pores are inflamed from shaving too soon before your appointment, the color can sit in those pores and look like little dots on your skin. Get manicures, pedicures and hair done before tanning!!

3. If you are going to wax (I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE THIS) it must be done 72 hours prior. I have seen too many disasters with waxing. The wax residue is very hard to get off and the color will grab on to those patches and turn REALLY dark!

4. The day of your tanning appointment, shower and exfoliate. DO NOT APPLY LOTION! Lotion acts as a barrier and will affect the depth of the tan. DO NOT wear deodorant! IT WILL TURN GREEN!!!!!!

5. DO NOT wear any face make up. I will tan your face lightly so it blends with the rest of you. The following morning, you can remove the “bronzer” to do your make up. You will have a really nice tan on your face. Not too dark, I promise!

6. Bring something VERY VERY loose to wear afterwards. NO ELASTIC WAISTBANDS! No sweat pants with “nubby” material. SMOOTH FABRIC LIKE VELOUR SWEAT PANTS that “hang” on your waist are good. A SHIRT THAT BUTTONS UP THE FRONT is best. Like a flannel etc. NO ZIPPERS! They are too heavy and will rub on your tan. DO NOT bring a shirt that needs to go over your head. Any time you have to do this, you move the color around too much while it’s drying. Bring flip flops to wear after.

7. Be very careful when going to the bathroom! STAY AWAY FROM AUTOMATIC FLUSHING TOILETS!!!!!! I will show you some tricks on how to pee when you come to your appointment. Don’t freak out if you have some mistakes or water drops or some minor rub off. I CAN FIX ANYTHING! But remember, the more you follow these directions, the less mistakes you will have, which means less time for me to fix them, which means less stress on you and me!


AFTER TAN INSTRUCTIONS

You will get darker as the solution sets in to your skin and the hours go by. We will “powder” body fold areas before you leave each appointment so you don’t feel “sticky.” It smells really good so don’t worry about not wearing deodorant. For obvious reasons, you will not want to perspire or sweat after your appointments! Bring an umbrella if it there is a remote chance of rain! Plan your day accordingly. It is best to be completely covered when you sleep! You don’t know what you do in your sleep, so if you rest your hand on your stomach, etc, you will wake up with a brown hand and a hand print on your stomach. It is best to wear long, loose pants like pajama bottoms and a long sleeve pajama top to bed. Covered from wrist to ankle!

Find out at the meeting when you will be going on stage. This will help me and you decide when to come see me for “touch ups” the morning of the competition. Morning touch ups will be done at my location. I will fix any little marks or mistakes you may have. You will look perfect when you leave me to go to pre judging. Please remember to be aware of your surroundings and the others around you as well. WATER IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!!!!!!! CAREFUL WHEN DRINKING IT OR WHEN NEAR A SINK OR TOILET!
