~ My Bella Tan ~ - A Safe Alternative to Tanning ...
 
Preparation before and after ...
 
 
Before You Tan: (Pre-Service Preparation)
 
Shower and exfoliate lightly with a non-oily exfoliant or net bath sponge with a liquid soap. This is very important, as it will remove all the dead skin off of your body, which will in turn give you the longest-lasting tan possible. Do not injure the skin with rough exfoliation.
 
Skin should be clean and dry before being airbrushed. For optimal results, do not apply moisturizers, deodorants, anti-perspirants, body oils, shaving creams or makeup before your tanning appointment as they can affect the result of your tan. We will treat any dry areas prior to airbrushing you.
 
Shave and/or remove body hair 24 to 8 hours before your airbrush tanning session.
 
~Schedule your mani-cure and/or pedi-cure 24 hours prior to your appointment.
~Style hair off of the face and neck. Use clips, rubber bands, scrunchy’s, etc..
~Remove jewelry before being airbrushed.
~ Wear dark and loose clothing to your appointment. Also, wear loose shoes w/socks or flip-flops.
 
~If you choose to wear a swim suit, bring a dark swimsuit or under garment to create “tan lines” Many choose not to wear a bikini top.
 
~We ask that you trust the advice of your Aesthetic Skin Consultant. We will choose an airbrush recipe that will compliment your skin tone and will leave you with a natural looking tan. We carry different variations of airbrush tanning solutions.
 
After You Tan: (Post-Service Maintenance)
~ Wear dark, loose fitting, cotton clothing for 8 hours, while your tan is developing.
 
~To give you the best tan possible, hold off on showering for 8 hours after your airbrush tanning session. During this "processing time" we highly recommend refraining from physical activities that may require your skin to become wet. This includes exercise, swimming, bathing, showering, sauna sessions, massages and other activities that require the use of liquids or cause your body to sweat. You are free to resume these activities after your tan has fully developed and you’ve had your first shower. Please plan accordingly.
 
~  Do not wear tight shoes, bra straps or jog bras until your tan has developed and you have showered.
 
~Your first shower should be a light shower with warm water and a mild shower gel only, as you are simply just rinsing the excess airbrush solution off of the surface of your skin. Do not exfoliate during this shower.
 
~Gently pat dry with a towel, do not rub dry. ~
 
~ Moisterize twice a day.
