Waxing is best done 24 hours before
8-24 HOURS BEFORE

BEFORE YOUR FIRST RINSE
Let your tan develop during the given set time (= development time, approx. 4-8 hours)

Avoid sweating or getting wet during set time as your tan is still developing. If you want to wash your hands, use a disinfecting handgel (available online and in our salon).
FIRST RINSE
Jump in the shower after the development time (4-8 hours) and shower for a minute or two with lukewarm water only until the water runs clear
​
Do not use soap and do not wash your hair

SECOND SHOWER
In the morning (and preferably after 24 hours) you can shower again as you are used to
​
However, avoid long, hot showers/baths, sauna's and swimming pools with chlorine or salt
​
Avoid soap, products with mineral oils and exfoliants, such as AHA's, BHA's, Retinol etc. (Tan-save body wash available online and in store)
Always pat yourself dry (do not rub)
​
Use a new razor when shaving
​
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Preferably twice a day. The better hydrated your skin is, the longer your tan will last
