EXFOLIATE: The more you exfoliate your skin in the shower during the days leading up to your tan appointment, the more even your tan will be. This is the best way to get rid of dry, dead skin cells. Ideally, exfoliate for 2 days before your appointment, followed by moisturizer.
SHAVE & WAXING: . If shaving prior to the tan, try and do so the night before or at least 6 hours before your appointment so the skin has time to settle. Keep in mind if you shave the day of your appointment, avoid lotions & oils.
