Prior to tanning, preferably the night before, exfoliate skin with a loofa or body scrub.  Body scrubs are available through All Over Glow.  Exfoliating allows for a smoother application as well as helping the tan to fade evenly.

At the time of application, be sure skin is completely clean and dry.  Do not apply any lotions, oils, deodorants or perfumes prior to use. 

Shaving/Waxing should be done 24 hours prior to tanning.

We recommend that you wait at least 2 hours prior to going to bed because the tan can stain your hands while sleeping.

Wear loose and dark clothing to your appointment - cotton does not seem to stain.  Elastics from underwear or tight clothing can cause dark spots. If possible, wear clothes that allow you to not wear underwear or bras, or choose underwear with loose elastics. Tanning Solution may stain clothing, please keep this in mind and dress appropriately.  If you are tanning at your home, a dark colored bath robe would be ideal to put on after your session.

During the tan you may wear a swim suit, however, wear one that you don’t mind being stained or damaged.  The solution should not stain clothes, but there are no guaranteees.  You may also wear underwear or nothing.  Disposable bikini panties, bras and boxers are available.  Guys must wear something!

Put hair up and remove all jewelry.  A cap to cover your hair is available.

Sunburns should be completely healed before airbrush tanning.  Tanning solution will make your burn peel faster, which will make the tan look blotchy. Please wait to book your appointment until the burn has healed.

Allow 5 to 10 minutes for the tan solution to dry before dressing.  Unless using the Express solution, Allow 8 to 12 hours before bathing, showering, swimming or exercising as the solution will continue to react with the skin during this time period.   If you do any of these activities before the time is up, the tan will not develop to the full potential of darkness.  Do not rub the skin and avoid touching your skin with your hands to avoid staining the hands.

Use a soap-free, pH balanced cleanser for a longer lasting tan.  See the section "products" for great products especially for sunless tanning that may be purchased from All Over Glow.

Follow up with moisturizer.  Moisturizers and tan extenders are available through All Over Glow.  Keep skin well moisturized every day to ensure your tan lasts 7-10 days. We suggest applying body moisturizer a minimum of twice a day (after showering and before bed).

If you desire a darker tan make an appointment within 48 hours of your first tan.  Discounts are available for the second session.

Swimming in Salt Water or Chlorine will fade your tan faster.  Excessive sweating may also remove your tan.

Do not use body scrubs or rub your skin roughly with a towel, this will fade the tan quickly.  Do NOT use a wash cloth.  Use your hands and soap.  The first shower should be a rinse with NO SOAP!  If you can get away with it, air drying is best!
