Prepare,Apply,Maintain,Extend

Prepare – Step 1

For best results, plan ahead.

Exfoliating the day you are going to be spray tanned makes a huge difference in the life of your tan.

The Biddiscombe Pre-sunless Scrubs are for home use and gently exfoliate and smooth the skin.
Towel off well and your ready.

Avoid using deodorants, body lotions, perfume and oils before you spray.

Wear loose fitting, darker colored cloths when you come for your sunless tanning session. The cosmetic color in our sunless solution may rub off to a small extent on clothing after your have dried but it washes out easily.

We strongly recommend not wearing valuable clothing such as silks or linens.

Also we are aware that solutions have been known to stain lycra.

Apply – Step 2

The application is done by a trained sunless technician using either airbrush or HVLP spray technology.
They will ask you to stand in various positions to ensure an even and thorough application.

The color will fully develop over 6 to 8 hours after which you can shower.

It is possible to shower after 4 hours, particularly with some of our stronger solutions.

The tanning process will continue but will be reduced significantly with early showering.

What you see washing down the drain is the cosmetic color in the solutions.

This is normal.
Remember that immediate washing or activities causing you to perspire right after spraying will affect the length of your tan. Let your tan develop.
Your sunless color will continue to develop for up to 24 hours.

Maintain – Step 3

Using harsh soaps will reduce the length of your sunless tan.

Use of a gentle body wash helps maintain your tan.
Specifically designed for use with sunless tanning,

the Biddiscombe pH Moisturizing Body Washes are a clean, lightly fragranced body washes that hydrates the skin, will give the skin a smooth satin feel, and will greatly help in preserving your tan.
Using exfoliating products after a sunless tan will significantly reduce the life of your tan.
We recommend generally staying out of hot tubs and swimming pools as the chlorine will reduce tan intensity.

Extend – Step 4

Utilizing tan extenders does make a significant difference in tan duration and will help preserve color for the maximum time possible.

Should you not be using a tan extender or using one every day, use of a good quality moisturizer will help lengthen tan life.
Formulated for sunless tanners, Biddiscombe’s Tan Extenders will moisturize your skin with a combination of rich emollients, anti-oxidants, and fortifying botanicals.

Most tan extenders contain the self tanner ingredient DHA and you will get additional color depending on how heavy the product is applied, the frequency of use and the amount of DHA in the lotion.
Sunless tans can wear off on different parts of the body at various rates due to rubbing. Tan Extenders can be used as a touch up to maintain a consistent tanned appearance.
We have also found that many customers like to use our aerosol self tanners Toned and Passport as touch up sprays
Since most tan extenders contain DHA in it, be sure to wash your hands after applying to avoid coloration of your palms.
