Getting a tan
We can’t wait to give you a beautiful sun kissed tan. Follow these steps to ensure the very best results.
Preparation before tanning
Exfoliate your body before the application. This is easily accomplished by rubbing a damp soapy face washer firmly over your skin when showering. Pay attention to rough skin areas like knees, elbows, ankles and the tops of your feet.
Do not apply moisturiser to your skin at this stage as doing this will reduce the final result. We also recommend that you don't wear any make-up. Wear attire suitable for tanning: we suggest a bikini for women and dark shorts or swimmers for men.
After tanning
Once your tan is applied, you must allow it to dry completely. We will ensure that your application is dry before you leave, but as a precaution, do not wet your skin for at least 5 hours after the tanning session. Showering the following morning is the best option.
We also recommend that you do not excercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and the showering phase. When showering don't be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off - this is part of the SunFX tanning process, and your skin will continue to tan.
Apply moisturiser twice daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin exfoliates and will keep your tan looking better for longer.
Other considerations in maintaining your tan are to avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Shorter sessions are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin.
Important Information
Skin: If you feel you have highly sensitive skin, or you have any doubts, we recommend a small localized test spray to check your skin compatibility before having your full SunFX body spray.
Clothing: We recommend that you wear dark, loose fitting attire after your appointment. Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter coloured materials, including leather, may stain.
Sunscreen: The SunFX spray-on tan does not provide any sun protection and it does not contain a sunscreen. Please make sure you apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn when outdoors.
