PRE-TAN TIPS

Skin Preparation Checklist

Follow this checklist to ensure the best and most even competition tan.


1 Week Before Show

• Gently exfoliate your entire body to remove dead skin.

• Do not scrub too harshly to avoid skin irritation.

• Don’t forget commonly missed areas, your back, neck, and feet.


Moisturizing

• You may moisturize daily if your skin is dry.

• Stop using all lotions 24 hours before your tanning appointment.


Hair Removal

• Waxing: Complete at least 5 days before the competition.

• Shaving: Complete no later than 24 hours before your first tanning appointment.

• After shaving, lightly exfoliate to remove any shaving cream, oils, or residue.


🚫 Once Tanning Begins

• No more exfoliating

• No shaving or waxing


🚫 Do NOT apply:

• Deodorant / Perfume / Cologne

• Lotions or oils

• Any skin products


Arrive to your tanning appointment with clean, dry skin only. This ensures your competition tan is even and looks its best under stage lighting.
