Tan Preparation and Maintenance

Before Mistique Tanning

• Exfoliate with a hand towel  and/or with non-oily body scrub in shower
• If you have dry skin then exfoliate 48 hours before your spray tan
• Shave legs and underarms (women)
• Men shave excess hair from arms, legs, chest (allows for better tan)
• Buff dry with towel
• Do not apply any deodorant or lotions
• Wear loose clothing, preferably dark
• For facial tanning, do not apply makeup

After Mistique Tanning

• Avoid touching your skin, as the solution might rub off on your hands
• No bathing for 6 to 8 hours, no exercising with solution still on
• Avoid carrying bags with straps on shoulders
• After your first shower the bronzer will rinse off, do not be alarmed, this is expected
• Shower only, no baths
• Use a light scrubby when showering, NO loofah, then pat dry
• After showering, use moisturizer (ask us about our maintenance package  to help extend your tan)
• Avoid using Dove soap (fades tan unevenly)
• Use new razor (2 blade recommended)
• Pets like tanning solution, keep them away until you have showered
