What to Wear & Aftercare

HOW TO PREP:

* Schedule all beauty services (nails, hair, lashes, waxing, facials, massages) before your spray tan—this should be your final beauty treatment*

24 hours before:

1) Wax, shave, wash hair, and moisturize to prevent barriers on the skin. 

2) Exfoliate thoroughly using an exfoliating mitt (no, loofahs don’t count). This is the most important step to ensure we have a smooth & flawless result! Focus on rough areas like heels, elbows, arms, neck, ankles, and knees for a smooth, long-lasting tan. 

3) Avoid oil-based products, Tree Hut/sugar scrubs, Dove, Caress, and Native products, as they create a barrier that affects tan development.

*To achieve a flawless result, our LV Glow reusable exfoliating mitt & hot water is the best & most simple prep before your appointment.*

The Day of Appointment:

1) If no lotions, serums, deodorants, makeup, or perfume are on your skin, you can skip showering. Otherwise, take a basic shower 3-4 hours before your tan using a gel body wash. Do not shower right before your appointment to avoid pH disruption.

2) After showering, do NOT reapply any lotions, skincare, deodorant, creams, or perfumes—your skin should be completely bare so that there aren’t any barriers that could prevent the DHA from properly absorbing into the skin.

The prep work is SO extremely important to ensure you end up with a perfect result. It’s a collaborative effort: 50% relies on our expertise, and the other 50% on your preparation. Please understand that if you are not properly prepared, we may need to reschedule your appointment.

WHAT TO WEAR?

 

BEFORE & AFTER SESSION:

Dark, baggy, and long flowy clothing, open-toed shoes, no bras, or tight clothing after your appointment to ensure the least amount of transfer & movement.

DURING SESSION:

Birthday suit, swimsuit/bikini, or undies! It’s completely up to your comfort level. We also will provide you with a hairnet, barrier cream, and an optional disposable nose plug if requested. Once you have been sprayed, we will dry you & apply a complimentary finishing powder to ensure proper drying!

NOTE: Our solution is water-soluble and should come out of most fabrics. However, there are some fabrics like whites, satin’s, and lace that the solution could possibly stain.

  • LV GLOW AFTERCARE:

    To get the best result from your spray tan, wear loose, dark clothing—no tight pieces or bras for 24 hours!

    While processing with bronzer on, avoid getting wet, sweating, & touching your skin.

    There is a big difference between a rinse (no soap) and a shower (with tan-safe soap)— your tech will thoroughly explain when to do each.

    When sleeping in your tan, wear long sleeves & pants to protect your tan.

    After 24 hours, it is important to hydrate your skin by drinking lots of water & applying lotion. Your spray tech will walk you through everything at your appointment and send a message with the steps so you have it all on hand.
