Preparation & Aftercare
Your glow starts with great prep and the right aftercare. Follow these simple steps to make the most of your Glo Show tan.
Before Your Appointment: Prep for the Perfect Tan
24–48 Hours Before:
- Exfoliate thoroughly to remove dead skin cells, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. This helps your tan apply evenly and last longer.
- Moisturise after exfoliating to keep your skin hydrated—but avoid heavy creams on the day of your tan.
Day of Your Appointment:
Wear loose, dark clothing and flip-flops or slides—tight fabrics can rub off the solution before it fully develops.
Shower at least 4 hours before your appointment.
Do not apply moisturiser, deodorant, perfume, or makeup—these can act as barriers and affect how your tan develops.
Shave or wax at least 24 hours in advance to allow pores to close and avoid irritation.
Aftercare: Keeping Your Glo Fresh and Flawless
Immediately After Your Tan:
• Avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing while your tan develops (usually 8–10 hours, unless advised otherwise).
• Sleep in loose clothing if your tan develops overnight.
First Shower:
• Rinse with lukewarm water only—no soaps, scrubs, or products.
• You may see some colour wash off—this is normal and just the cosmetic guide.
• Pat your skin dry gently with a towel—no rubbing.
Ongoing Care:
• Moisturise daily with an oil-free lotion to keep your tan hydrated and even.
• Avoid long hot baths, swimming pools, and exfoliating products—these will fade your tan faster.
• Gently exfoliate as your tan starts to fade to ensure an even wear-off.
