- remove all jewelry and delay wearing.
- do not work-out, sweat or get wet after your tan. It's important the formula locks without contact with water. (if it's raining during your session, plan for proper coverage to & from your car.
DAY AFTER TAN
- For best results please wait 8-12 hours or until the following morning before showering in lukewarm water.
- When washing your hands, avoid submersion in water. As this will increase fading. Utilize hand sanitizer.
- Wear dark loose fitting clothing until first shower. Solution washes out of most fabrics but, can stain more delicate materials such as silk, nylon or wool.
- Avoid thick heavy socks.
- Avoid perspiration..
- Wait to exercise until after your first shower.
- When you take your first shower. You will see some color wash off. Don't worry! This is cosmetic bronzer. You are not washing your tan off.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Keep your facial routine as simple as possible. The more products, the faster the color fades.
- Avoid long, HOT showers.
- Do not exfoliate. Do not scrub. The more you shave, the faster the color fades.
- Avoid applying perfume directly to your skin.
- Hot Tubs & Swimming Pools WILL fade your tan.
- Avoid toothpaste with a whitener in it. (or.. don't be messy)
- Avoid bar soap; Dove soap completely. Do not use a washcloth or loofah. Gently use your hands with shower gel.
- ALWAYS pat dry after your shower.
- HYDRATE! Hydrated skin is essential to maintaining a long lasting tan.
- MOISTURIZE! Like you never have before! Doing this at least twice a day will elongate the life of your tan. We recommend using our "Hush Tan Extender" For best results.
EXFOLIATing BEFORE TAN
- Begin a few days before your tan.
- Begin taking hotter, longer showers or baths. This will help speed up the exfoliation process.
- Excessive scrubbing can dry out or irritate the skin. It may take a couple of showers to get the residual tan off.
- Purchase our HUSH secret exfoliating mitt. (see picture above) AMAZING!!
- don't forget to pay attention to the areas you don't see, like the back of the knees and neck; in-between your fingers, toes and elbows.
