Tanning Tips

A full-body Summer Silhouette application will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. You should also allow additional time for preparation and consultation from a tanning expert.

Tips for the perfect Summer Silhouette:

To extend the life of your Summer Silhouette, follow our “Tan Plan” outlined below:

Pre-Tan Plan (2 days leading up to your tan)

- AVOID shaving and waxing 24 hours before tan;

- AVOID wearing make-up/deodorant/perfume/moisturiser on the day;

- Wear loose/old/dark/low cut clothing and underwear on the day; and

- Remove any jewellery on the day.

Post-Tan Plan

- Wear loose and dark coloured clothing directly after tan has been applied;

- Moisturise entire body using an oil free lotion every evening; and

- Use SPF 30+ Fake Bake Sunscreen when in the sun.

While tan develops AVOID:

- Wearing tight fitting clothes;

- Showering, swimming or getting wet for at least 8 hours after tan application;

- Rubbing the face or other parts of the body; and

- Exercising and/or excessive perspiring.

In general, AVOID:

- Salt and chlorine due to there adverse effects on DHA (tanning agent);

- Long hot showers or baths as this will promote the skin to exfoliate faster;

- Harsh soaps or chemicals on the skin; and

- Shaving (use a sharp blade if unavoidable to eliminate excess tan being removed)

Removal of Tan

Soak in the bath for at least 15 minutes then exfoliate using our Body Polish and a pair of exfoliating gloves to remove any old tan.

Summer Silhouette has a wide range of tanning products which will enhance and extend the life of your sunless tan, which can be purchased from our tanning technicians during your consultation or ordered online.
