Before & After Spray Tan Tips

'THE NUTS'
Pre & Post Tan Exfoliating Kit

Our unique hand made tough scrub is made with crushed Walnut shells (I know- cool right?!) making it incredibly efficient when it comes to exfoliating dead skin cells in preparation for your spray tan whilst also irradiating any signs of an older spray tan!

Walnuts are a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids that helps lock-in moisture and nutrients in the skin. Vitamin E is also found in walnuts which is widely known as a powerful antioxidant that makes the skin smooth and glowing. Use in conjunction with TWC’s special exfoliating mitt and you’ll be hot to trot for your next faux glow with us!
Oh, one more thing, by using our unique exfoliating product it means you’ll be doing the world a favour by avoiding microbeads which are highly damaging for the environment and your delicate skin!

Instructions for use:
Squeeze a small amount onto TWC’s special exfoliating mitt and scrub in circular motions over the skin. Repeat if necessary. Use before your spray tan to prep your skin as well as an exfoliant to irradiate old signs or spray tan. When using on your face use a small amount of scrub without the mitt.

Before Your Tan

Prep your skin with THE NUTS Pre & Post Walnut Scrub using the special hammam mitt in the kit. Exfoliating really helps the solution settle better and makes your tan last longer
Please let us know if you have any allergies at all
Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your treatment
If you are taking medication please inform us on the day (this will not necessarily prevent you from receiving your tan)
Try not to use any other fake tan products one week before your appointment.

Don't

Don’t Wear: Make Up (use OIL FREE products to remove make up before hand, oil tends to block spray tanning products), Deodorant, Perfume, Body Oils or Lotions
Avoid other beauty/hair treatments whilst your tan is developing (i.e. if you are getting your hair/nails done please do so before hand if possible)
Avoid activities that make you perspire while your tan is developing, as well as chlorine

Do

Do Wear : Loose, dark clothing, sandals or flip flops. We have disposable flip flops should you forget.
Keep skin dry and try to avoid really immersing your hands for as long as possible in the development time. Try wipes instead.
Allow tan to develop over 6/8 hours (excluding our express treatment).
Hydrating your skin means locking in your colour- moisturise after your first shower but do not apply any products over the tan during the development time.

After Your Tan Has Developed

After your tan has developed rinse off remaining guide colour with warm water and avoid using a lot of soap
Pat dry with a towel or dry naturally
Avoid products that contain AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids) as they can strip colour
Avoid chlorine
To prolong your tan keep you skin hydrated! Moisturisers lock but make sure they are oil free.
Be sure to exfoliate with THE NUTS Walnut Scrub and special mitt from 5-7 days onwards helps your tan fade evenly.
