EXFOLIATE Before Each Session to Remove Dry, Flaky Skin


Skin replaces itself in cycles naturally every 28 days. 25% of skin is exfoliated each week, causing your tan to slowly wear away. Sunless spray tans affect only the top 25% of the skin, so you will want to remove this skin prior to tanning.

By removing dead, dry skin cells you are effectively removing the barrier that will prevent the absorption of DHA bronzers into fresh healthy skin cells. Exfoliating allows the Norvell sunless spray solution to penetrate deep into the skin and oxidize to a brilliant golden brown. Spraying sunless products on dry flaky skin can cause the tan to appear less natural, and can result in uneven wear-off & fading. Lack of exfoliation will also shorten the life of your sunless tan. For exfoliation of extremely dead, dry skin cells we suggest a two-step process.


First use Amber Sun Sea Coral Salt Scrub for a deep exfoliation and skin treatment 24-hours before your session. This provides a thorough, deep skin exfoliation to nourish and moisturize your skin. Second, use Amber Sun Moisturizing Body Scrub on the morning of your session for light exfoliation along with a moisturizing, pH balancing skin treatment. This process gives you the fuel needed for beautiful, long lasting color.


NOTE: Avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products or in-shower moisturizers. These products can halt the DHA bronzing reaction or cause the dreaded “orange effect.” Any waxing should be done no less than 2 days prior to your tanning session. Shaving is best completed 24-hours prior to your sunless tanning session. Also, elevated body temperature, perspiration or excessive moisture on the skin can hinder DHA development and results.

STOP!! DO NOT APPLY LOTION!! Do not apply lotions, moisturizers or perfumes prior to your session. Use deodorant sparingly. It is best not to apply make-up, but if you do so, carefully remove make-up prior to your session.
