Before tanning, shower, shave and exfoliate.

If you will be pampering yourself with waxing, a pedicure or a manicure, do so before tanning.
Or wait at least 24 hours after your tanning session.

Do not wear any body lotion, deodorant or foundation makeup.

Bring a swimming suit or undergarment in which to be tanned. Thongs are acceptable.

Bring Dark loose-fitting clothing and sandals to wear home.

After your tanning session, wait at least 6 to 12 hours before showering.

After showering, apply moisturizer. Hydrated skin retains the tan longer.
Avoid lotions containing alpha hydroxy.
