Please do not tan in a tanning bed prior to your competition. The competition tan will give you the desired color you are trying to achieve without damaging your skin in a tanning bed.
Start moisturizing now.
If you plan to shave, please do so the night before your tanning appointment.
If you are waxing, schedule your appointment at least a week out. If you do it right before the show, the residue from the wax may still be on your skin and will cause the tan to look discolored.
Start exfoliating a couple of days before your tanning appointment. We love the “Magic Peeling Glove”. They are made in Italy so if you order now, you may get it in time for the show. Safer bet is to order one from Amazon. There is a similar glove made in Australia, and it’s listed as “Magic Peeling Feggari Glove”. They are $36 but are the best bang for your buck. They last for 60 scrubs so essentially you can use it for a year.
What to wear/bring to your appointment:
Please bring/wear dark loose clothing. We suggest loose fitting long pants and a long sleeved loose fitting t-shirt. You will wear this home and sleep in it. The clothing will keep you from touching your tan all night and will minimize rub off onto your sheets. Avoid zippers on clothing. They can cause lines in your tan.
Come to your tanning appointment with clean skin.
No Lotion
No Deodorant
No Makeup
No Perfumes
Before you go to bed, take a washcloth ~ wet it and ring it out~ (careful not to get water on any other body parts other than your hands & face) and wipe the bronzer off your face. Water only, no soap.
Please note: You will not be taking a shower at all until after the show!!!
Do not put any other products on your skin after we have tanned you. “Hot Stuff” will EAT the tan. Liquid Sun is not responsible for your tan if you decide to use other products on top of our tan.
We will apply two coats of the competition tan the night before the show and will do touch-ups and/or a third coat the morning of the show. We will also be applying your sheen before going on stage. We will be at the competition the entire day for your touch ups etc so don’t worry about anything.
