How do I prepare for a tan?
The day before the tan
- Before or after the tan DO NOT USE ANY DOVE BRANDED PRODUCTS
- Wax/shave at least 24 hours before your tan to allow pores time to close, otherwise a dotting effect may occur
- Shower, exfoliate and moisturise your face and body the night before the tan paying attention to dry areas such as knees, elbows and ankles.
On the day of the tan
- Before or after the tan DO NOT USE ANY DOVE BRANDED PRODUCTS
- Shower and wash your face
- Do not use moisturiser on the day of your tan
- Remove make-up, deodorant, perfume and moisturiser creams or makeup prior to having your tan
- Wear dark underwear/a bikini or swimsuit, or anything else you feel comfortable in for your treatment
- Wear loose dark clothing after your tan. Any tight clothing may cause wear marks
- Wear flip flops or loose fitting shoes
- Do not shower or bathe for 6-8 hours (the development period)
- Do not exercise or swim during the development period
- Try not to touch your skin during the development time as your palms may get stained
- If you need to go out in the rain wear a long sleeved waterproof jacket and umbrella
