The Tan Commandments
1 Wear gloves or use a tanning mitt. Our formula will tan the hands if they are not protected. Areas like the eyebrows, elbows or heels may need protection too so apply a little cream to these areas as they tend to go darker during developing time.
2 Do exfoliate the night before you apply your Wow Brown Tan. Paying attention to rough skin areas like knees, elbows, ankles and the tops of your feet. Do not apply moisturiser to your skin the day of applying your tan.
3 Wear suitable clothingafter tanning, we suggest loose dark clothes, flip flops and remember no bra after your tan or socks(think of those strappy heels darling!).
4 Let it dry Once your tan is applied, you must allow it to dry completely(takes about 2-5minutes). do not wet your skin for at least 5 hours after applying your Wow Brown tan.
5 Shower the following morning. When you shower the tan residue will wash off but your now developed wow brown tan stays on the skin for the next week. Fran and Don Tip for the shower :if you can bring the shower nozzle down to the feet and shower upwards for the first few minutes, this will remove the residue evenly.
6 Do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and the showering phase.
7 Apply moisturiser twice daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin exfoliates and will keep your tan looking better for longer.
8 Avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Shorter sessions are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin for 5 days.
9 Not dark enough ?Then wait until the first layer dries then add an extra layer .The colour that you become when you apply the tan will be the colour that you will be after you shower.
10 Important Information
Skin: If you feel you have highly sensitive skin, or you have any doubts, we recommend a small localized test patch to check your skin compatibility before applying your full wow brown body tan.
Dry Skin: If you find you have excessively dry skin and are having problems removing your tan here is a Fran and Don tip: Apply body oil to the entire body leave it on the body for 40mins and have a nice hot bath repeat daily if necessary.
Clothing: We recommend that you wear dark, loose fitting clothing after applying wow brown tan. Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter coloured materials, including leather, may stain.
Sunscreen: The wow brown tan does not provide any sun protection and it does not contain a sunscreen. Please make sure you apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn when outdoors.
The golden rule KEEP YOUR BODY MOISTURISED and your tan will last longer and fade really well.
