Pre/Post Tan Care
To ensure the best possible results from your Glo Lux Aesthetics spray tan, proper preparation and aftercare are beneficial. Following these easy guidelines helps your tan apply evenly, develop beautifully, and last longer while keeping your skin healthy and radiant. Please take a moment to review the before and after care instructions so you can get the most out of your Glo Lux experience.
BEFORE CARE
STEP 1. EXFOLIATE
12 – 24 hours before application, take a long shower or bath, followed by exfoliating skin using a scrub, exfoliating gloves or exfoliating mitts.
STEP 2.
SHAVE
Shave AFTER you have exfoliated. Your razor will glide more smoothly, resulting in a clean, close shave.
STEP 3.
SCRUB DRY
After exiting shower, scrub yourself with a towel to remove all excess skin before application.
STEP 4.
MOISTURIZE
Moisturize thoroughly 12 – 24 hours before your application. You can apply lotion up to 3 hours before spray tan application.
STEP 5.
HYDRATE
Drink plenty of water before and after your application—hydrated skin results in a better glow.
AFTER CARE
RINSE
YOUR SPRAY TAN ARTIST WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO RINSE. Use lukewarm water and rinse quickly for up to two minutes. This is not a full shower—just a rinse to remove bronzer.
NO SOAP
Do not use soap the first 12 hours except for face, hands, and feet. Only liquid soap.
GENTLE
Be as gentle as possible with your skin after application. No hot showers and no hot water such as hot tubs, etc. Gently pat skin after showering and when exposed to water.
MOISTURIZE
Moisturize skin within 5 - 10 minutes after showering. Apply moisturizer generously, particularly during winter months.
HYDRATE
It is important to stay hydrated when you have a spray tan. Make sure to drink plenty of water before and after.
