  You are well aware that nothing can compare to the glow that a new tan can provide. That is, until you tried the at-home treatment and showed up to work the next day with orange palms, a pale hairline, and a left leg that appeared to be melted.

  This is why you've scheduled an appointment at a reputable tanning salon - but achieving flawless results doesn't begin and finish with your service. Read on to learn more. However, even though you will have little to no involvement in the application procedure, it is crucial to adequately prepare your skin beforehand so that you leave looking like the perfect, beach beauty you really are.

  In order to achieve the best-looking, most natural-looking result possible, what should you do? Take no fear – simply follow these four simple spray tan preparation procedures to achieve spray tan perfection and revel in the beauty of your sun-kissed appearing skin.

  PREPARE YOUR TAN THE NIGHT BEFORE

  To prepare your skin for shaving, take a shower and exfoliate it softly with a mild body scrub or soft loofah, paying particular attention to coarser areas like your knees, ankles, and elbows. Exfoliating and showering can take away the impurities and surface oils, and also accumulations of the dead skin cells, that will all interfere with the application of your spray tan and result in a more even tan. You don't want to over-exfoliate and irritate your skin, so don't be too aggressive with your exfoliation! All you require is a gentle scrape.

  HOLD THE LOTION IN YOUR HANDS

  Following your shower, the night before, you'll want to apply a light layer of moisturizer to your skin, making sure to get into those rough patches that you worked so hard to smooth down, but you'll want to put the lotion back on the shelf and forget about it for at least 6 hours after your service. Some other topical preparations and lotions – such as body butter, lotions, and deodorant – might produce a thin barrier on the skin that the tan may not be able to penetrate, thereby affecting the quality and duration of your sunless tan and shortening its lifespan.

  PUT ON DARK AND LOOSE CLOTHING.

  However, tight clothing might surely take up some pigment if it is in regular contact with your freshly tanned skin. Your tan should be dry enough when you leave that you will not have to worry about it rubbing off on everything you touch when you get home. Your clothes may become stained as a result of this, as well as the evenness of your tan in the region where the garment came into touch with the tanning bed. Wearing something dark and loose will assist to guarantee that your tan remains intact and that any unintentional touch will not result in you destroying your favorite pair of white underwear, which you may have purchased recently.

  AND DON'T FORGET YOUR LOOSE FOOTWEAR!

  Putting on Uggs after getting a tan is not the best idea since they make you look like you have a tan. Socks, boots, and other closed-toe footwear run the danger of rubbing repeatedly on your foot and ankle, preventing your tan from having enough time to fully sink into your skin after application. A light pair of sandals or flip flops will reduce the amount of contact your foot has with the ground and will save your ankles the embarrassment.
