• Shower and exfoliate to prime skin just prior to your Aruba Tan 4•6•8 application. Also consider using SluffWIPES moments before a tanning application to ensure the best possible results. Skin should be completely dry before tanning.
  
  
• Exfoliating products that leave the skin excessively oily, such as salt scrubs, should be avoided.
  
  
• Make sure that all lotions, creams, deodorants, makeup or other toiletries are removed from the skin before a treatment. If these products are left on the skin, discoloration and uneven results can occur.
  
  
• Waxing or shaving should be done at least a few hours prior to tanning. This includes facial waxing. Replace shaving razor blades. Old, dull shaving blades can strip your tan and cause uneven fading.
  
  
• All jewelry should be removed before treatment. Tight fitting jewelry, such as watches or rings, should not be worn until after showering.
  
  
• Contact lenses should be removed prior to treatment.
  
  
• Attire for tanning — make certain to bring a dark-colored bathing suit (or your garment of preference). Aruba Tan 4•6•8 washes out of most clothing very easily, but tends to stain light nylon and other light synthetic materials. If you do not have an appropriate bathing suit, disposable bras, thongs or panties may be provided for the treatment – check with the salon/spa.
  
  
• Wear dark, loose clothing and shoes to your appointment so that you can wear the same home after your tan. Tight fitting clothing can hinder tanning results. Plan not to get wet, exercise or perspire for at least 4 hours. At that time the product can be showered off and normal activities can be resumed. You will see some color washing off the first time you shower. This is just the surface color that was applied, your skin will continue to tan for 24 hours as the Aruba Tan 4•6•8 tanning solution develops.

• With Aruba Tan 4•6•8 new technology in sunless tanning, you can have a deep, dark natural looking tan with 4 hours of application. Your tan will last about 5-7 days (up to 10 for some people) if properly cared for.

  • 4 hours: Showering in 2.5 - 4 hours will produce a light–medium, golden tan. This reveals a natural look recommended for fair skin types. Very fair skin clients should shower the product off in 2.5 hours (such as light skinned red heads).
