your PERFECT GLOW STARTS WITH THE PREP
BEFORE YOUR TAN
24–48 Hours Before
Exfoliate your entire body, paying extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles and hands.
Complete Hair Removal
Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment whenever possible.
Avoid Oils & Heavy Lotions
Keep your skin clean and free from oily products that may create a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution.
Day of Your Appointment
Arrive with clean, dry skin. Avoid applying lotion, perfume, deodorant, makeup or body oils before your tan.
Wear Loose, Dark Clothing
Choose loose-fitting clothing and comfortable footwear to wear home. Avoid tight leggings, bras, socks or anything that may rub against your developing tan
AFTER YOUR TAN
Let Your Tan Develop
Avoid water, sweating, swimming and skin-to-skin rubbing while your tan develops. Follow the rinse time provided at your appointment.
Your First Rinse
Use lukewarm water (no soap) and gently rinse until the water runs clear. Avoid scrubbing your skin.
Moisturize Daily
Hydrated skin helps your spray tan fade more evenly and can extend the life of your colour.
Keep Showers Gentle
Use gentle body products and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing with a towel.
Avoid Exfoliating And Saunas
Skip scrubs, exfoliating gloves and harsh products until you're ready to remove your tan.
Enjoy Your Glow
With proper prep and aftercare, your GoldenTheory tan can stay beautiful, even and natural-looking for days.
