Shave + exfoliate well 24 hours prior (all waxing should be done 48 hours in advance)
Don’t shower within 4 hours of your appointment
Complete all other beauty services first (Nails, facials, waxing, etc. no massages day of)
If tanning for a special event book your tan 2-3 days prior to event and 1 day before vacations
Avoid all moisturizers, lotions, body sprays, makeup and deodorant before your appointment

Wait the guided processing time before showering.
First shower do not use soap. Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly until the water is clear. Use hand to guide bronzer off body, avoid peeing in this shower!
Use an unscented moisturizer twice a day to keep skin hydrated.
Avoid body washes, lotions, sunscreens with alcohol, parabens, mineral or petroleum oil, or sulfates.

Do not apply perfume directly on the areas that have been sprayed.
