MY LEGS DON’T TAN!!!!!!!!! You get an amazing fake tan, but your legs are not tanning, more so your shins?  Or why do I have brown dots in my pores?
I get these questions all the time……..
The skin is thinnest on the front of your legs, specifically your shins.  Because the skin is thin there, it might also mean that you are likely to loose tan quickest.  Why? Because your skin is constantly regenerating and legs often wear jeans, tights, and tights often rub, and rubbing often removes tan.  Also - be careful if you are shaving.  A fake tan will stay on your skin as long as the skin stays on your body. If you are shaving your legs, chances are you're also shaving off your tan.  So - make sure any shaving or waxing is done before your spray tan - but not too soon before hand – I suggest at least 24 -48 hours beforehand
I always like my clients to prepare well for a tan as I know that the spray tan is only as good as the canvas it goes on too. I can  tell who has raced home jumped in the shower, shaved and come to tanning appointment and those who prepare well. I can tell simply by looking at the skin. When clients shave, and particularly they wax, the skin's pores are open.  This means that anything you apply over the top of it can inhibit the ability for us spray tan technicians to apply to an even base.  It also means that when the pores do close, the spray tan bronzer will be locked underneath.
Do: • Shaving and waxing at least 24-48 hours before your tan appointment • Exfoliate EVERYWHERE to remove build up of products from your skin.  Built up products can act as a barrier and stop tan from adhering. • To maintain your tan, you'll need to lock it in.  We recommend a 24 hour hydrating moisturiser, DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER!!!!!  DRINK HEAPS!!!!!!
