Glow-Ready: Your Ultimate Guide to Perfect Tan Prep

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Shave, wax, and exfoliate the skin at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before the application otherwise it may leave dark spots.

We recommend NUDA Body Exfoliate for best results in preparing for your tan.

Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream, or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing correctly.

Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume, or deodorant the day of your appointment.

Moisturize the skin days prior to your session (not the day of the appointment).

The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.

We recommend you to wear loose and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.

Exfoliation is the most important step to achieve an optimal result that will last up to 10 days. We suggest you use a good quality scrub with an exfoliating mitt to allow the elimination of dead skin cells and impurities. Pay attention to rough areas like feet, ankles, elbows, armpits, knuckles, collarbones, etc.

If the exfoliation hasn't been done properly, the result could be uneven and fade quickly. NUDA products have been designed to fade gradually and evenly when the skin is properly prepared.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

Your sunless tan doesn’t stop when you leave the booth—it’s just the beginning! To keep your glow radiant and long-lasting, proper aftercare is essential. Moisturize daily to lock in hydration, avoid harsh exfoliants, and steer clear of long, hot showers to maintain your tan’s depth and evenness. Opt for gentle, sulfate-free body washes and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. For an extra boost, use a tan extender or gradual tanning lotion. With the right care, you can enjoy your beautiful, sun-kissed look for days to come!

• Avoid activities that provoke sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it's raining or snowing outside, wear long and covering clothes.

• Do not apply cream or makeup on the skin during the development period.

• If you will be sleeping with solutions on, go to bed wearing long clothes.

• Wait 8 to 12 hours or 1 to 5 hours before showering, depending on the solution. Refer to your artist for the adapted delay.

• Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, we recommend not using soap.

• Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. Use the NUDA Body Cream for best results.

• Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long baths or showers often cause faster fading.

• Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shaving may be done occassionally.

• Use gentle facial cleaners, no oil-based or exfoliating products.

• Avoid lotion, soap, and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum, and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading.

• Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues.
