Sienna X SPRAY TANNING at the zen den in tilehurst, reading.

If Sienna X Spray Tan product is new for you, a patch test is always recommended to ensure the formula is suitable for your skin. We recommend this is done at least 24-48 hours ahead of your appointment. 

Exfoliation helps to reveal a fresh new layer of smooth skin, helping your tan to last much longer. If possible, undergo this process at least 24 hours before your treatment to allow the skin’s pores to close fully. This prevents tan from building up in any unclosed pores. 

Just like buffing away dry skin, be sure to factor in some time to wax or shave any unwanted hairs at least 48 hours before your treatment. This way, your pores have plenty of time to close so that any solution doesn’t cling and create unwanted dark patches. 

To reduce dry areas, such as on your elbows, knees and ankles, take some time to moisturise. For best results, we recommend doing so overnight – this will help to provide the perfect tanning base for your solution. 

Ahead of your treatment, be sure to say goodbye to any products such as deodorant, perfume, oils, moisturisers and makeup before attending your spray tanning appointment. This way, the solution won’t cling to them and leave you with unsightly white patches. Products such as these actually tend to act like a barrier and won’t allow your beautiful tan to take effect. 

We all know the frustration of staining your favourite clothes, especially with things that can be slightly harder to remove! To save your worry, we recommend that you opt for dark and loose clothing made from cotton or jersey fabrics. This way, your clothes won’t cling to your freshly applied spray tan as it develops and leave you with unsightly patches or uneven tan. Especially as some of the guide colour can be easily removed by tighter-fitting options.

With this in mind, also opt for underwear/bikinis that you don’t mind getting any solution on that are made of a similar fabric. This way, you can opt for these each time without any worry of trying to find more suitable options. 

Tight waistbands and close fitting clothes can remove colour before the tan has been given a chance to develop. 

It will take up to eight hours for your spray tan to fully develop, so try not to shower or bathe in this time. Taking lots of showers or spending time soaking in the bath can fade your tan. Keep your washing sessions as brief as possible if you want to maintain your tan for longer. 

This can affect the development of your spray tan and can prevent you from achieving the optimum depth of colour. 

Generous moisturising will prevent your skin from drying out and will keep your tan looking incredible between treatments.
