The secret to a flawless, streak-free glow? It’s all in the prep! Think of your spray tan as an investment; the better you prep, the longer (and better) your colour will last. Here’s your ultimate checklist to get your skin ready for that perfect Bronzefx Sunless glow:

PREP IS KEY

✅ 24–48 Hours Before

  • Exfoliate like a boss → Buff away dead skin with a mitt for a smooth canvas.

  • Wax or shave → Do this at least 24 hours before so your skin is calm and ready.

  • Skip heavy lotions or oils → They can block the solution from developing evenly.

  • Retinols→ Yikes! Stop using these about 10 days before your appointment. This can result in streaks/patches


✅ Day Of Your Appointment

  • Arrive squeaky clean → Shower with a gentle, oil-free wash. No deodorant, no perfume, no makeup.

  • Keep it simple → Skip moisturizers, serums, and body oils. Your skin should be product-free.

  • Dress down → Loose, dark clothing is your best friend post-tan. Think cozy, not couture.


✅ Aftercare Essentials (Because Prep Doesn’t Stop There)

  • Hands off! → No rinsing or washing until your artist gives the all-clear.

  • Moisturize daily → Hydrated skin = longer-lasting glow.

  • Avoid hot tubs, long baths & harsh scrubs → Keep your tan from fading too fast.
