After your spray tan appointment

• Stay dry
  Do not shower, get wet or exercise for 8 hours.
• Pamper          
  Your tan will last longer on well hydrated skin so moisturise twice a day using SOUL Pro-long moisturiser.
• Avoid          
  Soaking in the bath or chlorinated pools will cause your tan to fade faster and remember Soul does not contain a sunscreen and won’t protect you against sunburn, so take the usual precautions!

Soul is committed to using only the highest quality ingredients and tanning actives.  We value our customers and strive to produce tanning products that each one can safely use to achieve a beautiful, natural looking tan. 

Helpful hints for easy application of the SOUL self tanning lotion for home: 

Always exfoliate before the use of tanning application.  Tanning results are best when applied to clean exfoliated skin.  It is important to remove deodorant, perfumes or any other lotions you have on your body.  Make sure you always apply tanning product to clean skin.
All of our SOUL self-tanning Products contain rich emollients to give added hydration to the skin. However, if you have extremely dry skin and feel that you require more moisture, we recommend applying SOUL Pro-long (OIL-FREE MOISTURISER) before tanning. Also excellent product to apply to elbows, knees, feet and hands before tanning instead of the Soul Double-layered Oil.

DIRECTIONS: 

ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN APPLYING.  Apply small amounts in a circular motion on the body.  Lightly glaze over hands and feet.  Bend elbows and knees when applying.  Although tanning actives start to work upon contact with skin, we suggest a night time application to get the benefits of a longer lasting tan.  A small amount of the colour guide may rinse off in the morning when you shower but your tan will stay.  Apply several nights in a row to achieve desired tan.  Should only need to apply once a week to maintain tan.  NOTE:  Can be used on the face, however apply using a facial sponge.

REMINDER: 

Even though the tanning actives start to react upon contact with the skin, you should always allow 4-6 hours before showering.  This time allows for deeper penetration of these ingredients for a longer-lasting tan.  The reason we recommend a night time application is that when the body is resting, it can absorb the maximum benefits of all of the combined ingredients.

CAUTION:

Certain peels or facial cleansers using varieties of acids or other strong ingredients may cause your skin to be sensitive to the tanning actives.  We recommend that you patch test before using any tanning product.  If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
