AFTER your tan application…
After your tan is fully applied, make sure you wear loose clothing, leaving your bra straps down (or avoiding wearing one altogether) and don’t wear knee high boots, jeans or leggings as they can tend to leave a seam mark. It’s also best to wear flip flops upon leaving the salon.
When you shower for the first time after applying tan you can use shower gel but don’t exfoliate your skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many days in advance should I apply my tan?
It is ideal that you try a trial and error tan application a month in advance. You can then see how dark/light you prefer the tan. Remember, wash off Cocoa Brown 1 HOUR TAN and the 1 HOUR TAN DARK after 1, 2 or 3 hours depending how light/dark you prefer your tan.
Once you have identified how you like your tan, apply the tan yourself or get a professional spray tan two days in advance of your wedding.
When should I wax/shave?
Always wax or shave at least 24hrs before your tan application. This allows your pores to close and also, waxing or shaving afterwards could cause the tan to come off in these areas.
What if I make a mistake?
If by any chance there are any unwanted areas of tan, or perhaps too much product has been applied, have Cocoa Brown TOUGH STUFF Body Scrub, €5.99, on hand as it is the ultimate tan remover. It’s especially effective on hands, feet, knees and elbows.
What should I do on the morning of my wedding?
On THE DAY of your wedding, make sure you moisturise the body using Cocoa Brown CHOCOLATE WHIP OIL-FREE MOISTERISER, €5.99, as this will make your skin look hydrated and healthy. You can rub talcum powder underneath your arms so the tan does not transfer if you sweat.
What do I do if my tan isn’t dark enough?
If your tan is not dark enough on the morning of your wedding, apply a coat of Cocoa Brown Lovely Legs over certain areas such as the chest, shins or back to top up the tan. This is an instant water resistant tan which will give you an immediate deep glow and a light sheen on these particular areas.
Only use an oil-free moisturiser like Cocoa Brown CHOCOLATE WHIP Oil-Free Body Moisturizer. Otherwise, moisturisers with oil can break down the tan causing it to fade to quickly.
To keep your tan in tip-top shape for your honeymoon, we recommend that you use Cocoa Brown CHOCOLATE WHIP Oil-Free Body Moisturizer to maintain your glow. It will keep your skin hydrated and healthy which is ideal for a flawless tan.
