Before, During & After Care
Everything you need for the perfect Mist Me glow.
Preparing for your tan
Waxing should be done at least 48 hours prior.
Shaving is best done 12–24 hours prior to allow pores to settle.
Exfoliate 12–24 hours before using our Tan Exfoliating Mitt. If needed, pair with Gel Tan Remover for old tan removal.
Arrive with clean skin free from deodorant, makeup, moisturiser or perfume.
Avoid products with SLS, fragrances or mineral oils and strong actives such as retinol or AHAs for 24 hours prior.
Hydration is key — aim for 2L of water daily for best results.
What to bring
Loose, breathable cotton clothing (avoid silk or satin).
Optional clothing for tanning — we also provide disposable G-strings if preferred.
In wet weather, bring a hoodie, trackies, and towel to protect your tan.
At your appointment
Your technician will consult with you to achieve your desired colour and glow.
Each tan is customised to your skin type for a natural, even result.
Appointments take around 10–15 minutes.
Results typically last 7–14 days depending on skin type and aftercare.
Aftercare
No soap or body wash during your first rinse — gently rinse excess bronzer only.
Moisturise after your second shower, then continue daily to extend your tan.
Avoid exercise, swimming, spas, and saunas for 24 hours.
Use gentle products only and avoid exfoliation for the duration of your tan.
Pat skin dry — never rub.
Short showers are best (think 2–3 minutes).
Hydration is essential for longevity and even fade.
Removing your tan
Use a quality tan removal mitt for best results.
Our Gel Tan Remover breaks down old tan in minutes for a gentle, effective reset.
Proper aftercare = easier, more even removal next time.
