During Development
While the base tan is developing clients cannot get wet. When washing hands use a sanitising gel to avoid any water splashing onto the skin. Clients should not participate in any exercise, or expose themselves to extremes of temperature as this will negatively impact on their tan by causing excess perspiration.
Development Time Is Up
Lightly rinse – do not scrub skin or use soaps just a quick 30 second warm shower. Pat Skin dry
Full tan colour development is achieved anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.
Day Two
Muscle Tan is now applied drying well between coats until desired level of darkness is reached.
