Tanning Tips

BEFORE YOUR TAN
  •  Exfoliate your body (with a loofah or body scrub)
  • Do not wear any makeup, moisturiser or deodorant when being sprayed
  • Wear comfortable, loose, dark clothing
  • Undertake personal hair removal 24 hours prior to your spray

Please note: For people with sensitive skin or allergies your Technician can test a patch on the inside of the elbow or behind the knee with our Colour Me Bronze tan solution.

DURING YOUR TAN

  • You can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in (ie. Lingerie, bikini or nothing). We can also provide you with a disposable g-string if need be.
  • The spray will take approximately 10 minutes (15 minutes with the pre-tan prep)

AFTER YOUR TAN

  •  Do not shower, swim or exercise heavily for 8 hours
  • Colour Me Bronze tanning solution provides SPF 15 protection until the time of your first shower
  • Colour Me Bronze tan extender can be used to moisturise your skin whilst prolonging your tan. This great product also has SPF 15.
  • Moisturise your skin daily
  • Avoid prolonged soaking in water as it dries skin and may fade your tan
  • Do not exfoliate your skin until the tan has faded (or just before your next Colour Me Bronze tan)
  • Your new tan will not provide protection from the harsh UV rays of the sun. Continue to be sun smart

DETERMINING YOUR SKIN TYPE FOR YOUR PERFECT TAN

There are six skin types categorised by scientists as set out below. Skin type 1 burns most easily and skin type 6 rarely burns. In most cases, individuals think they are one skin type darker than they actually are. If your experience in sun exposure has been moderate, this is easy to do! If you determine that you fall between two skin types described, it is always better to choose the lower value skin type.

SKIN TYPE 1: - typically red-blond hair, blue green eyes, very light skin. Skin mostly burns, does not tan.

SKIN TYPE 2: - typically light to medium hair, light to medium eyes, light to medium skin. Skin usually burns, seldom tans.

SKIN TYPE 3: - typically medium hair, medium to dark eyes, medium to olive skin. Skin moderately burns, usually tans.

SKIN TYPE 4: - typically dark hair, dark eyes, dark olive to light brown skin. Skin burns mildly, moderate brown

SKIN TYPE 5: - typically dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin. Skin seldom burns, dark brown

SKIN TYPE 6: - typically dark hair, dark eyes, very dark skin. Skin insensitive, does not burn.
