5 Steps to Flawless
1) Prepare Your Skin: Exfoliate using a water based scrub! Any scrub that contains oil will inhibit
the tan from sticking to your skin... we recommend
the Bora Bora Body Polish by South Seas.
2) Remove: All makeup, deodorant and lotions from the skin prior to getting your airbrush tan! Make sure your skin is dry and your body temperature is cool.
3) Don’t Forget: You must wait 6-10 hours before taking a shower after your tan is applied. During this time period you must wear loose, comfortable, dark clothing and refrain from sweating.
4) Moisturize: Moisturizing twice a day is the most important part of keeping your airbrush tan looking great! Pick up a bottle of Moorea Moisturizer - 100% Natural and Paraben Free!
5) Extend: Pat don’t rub when drying after a shower. Extend the life of your tan by using tan extender or touch up spray. Works great after exposure to chlorine or just to keep your tan vibrant and healthy looking.
