Prep & Aftercare
everything you need to know to prepare for your service and protect your results
— THE GLOW (Sunless Tanning) —
Before Your Appointment
-
Exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before your session. This allows your pores to close and creates an ultra-smooth canvas.
-
Skip the lotions & oils. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, bare skin. Avoid lotions, body oils, deodorants, perfumes, or makeup, as they can block the solution from developing properly.
-
Bring loose-fitting, dark clothing (no leggings!) to wear home. No tight waistbands, bras, or tight socks immediately after your tan.
After Your Appointment
-
Rinse instructions will vary depending on your desired results (typically after 8–12 hours for a standard tan, or 1–4 hours for an Express tan). Rinse with lukewarm water only—no soap or shampoo during your first rinse. Your colour will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. Pat to dry.
-
Hydrate Daily: Moisturize morning and night with an alcohol-free, sulfate-free lotion. Hydrated skin holds onto a sunless glow much longer.
-
Avoid Harsh Exfoliation: Skip long hot baths, swimming pools, heavy chlorine, and harsh body scrubs.
— THE SMILE (Teeth Whitening) —
Before Your Appointment
-
Gently brush and floss your teeth before your appointment so your enamel is clean and free of plaque.
After Your Appointment
-
The "White Diet" (First 24–48 Hours): For the first day or two, try to stick to "white" foods and drinks (chicken, rice, white fish, pasta with white sauce, water, milk). Avoid: Coffee, red wine, tea, dark sodas, tomato sauces, mustard, and berries.
-
Use a straw for any beverages that have colour, and maintain your routine brushing and flossing to lock in your results.
— THE SUGAR (Body Sugaring & Hair Removal) —
Before Your Appointment
-
Grow it Out: Hair needs to be about 1/4 inch long (roughly the length of a grain of rice) for the sugar paste to grip the hair properly.
-
Gently exfoliate 2 to 3 days before your appointment to lift dead skin cells around the hair follicles.
-
Arrive with clean skin free of heavy body oils or lotions.
After Your Appointment
-
No Heat or Friction (First 24–48 Hours):
-
Avoid hot tubs, saunas, heavy sweating/workouts, hot baths, and tight synthetic clothing for the first day to let your pores calm down.
-
Start Exfoliating at Day 3: Begin gently exfoliating 3 days post-appointment and moisturize daily to prevent ingrown hairs and keep your skin silky smooth.
