Pre

  • If possible, SCHEDULE your Lumi treatment 48 hours before your occasion. Timing is important, as you will need the tan to settle, develop and have time to rinse.
     
  • Schedule your treatment AFTER manicures and/or pedicures. Any soaking or scrubbing will remove the tan prematurely and may cause unevenness.
     
  • SHAVE/WAX any unwanted body hair a day prior to your treatment. Give your pores a chance to close to ensure an even tan.
     
  • EXFOLIATE your entire body using a mild, oil-free, non-abrasive exfoliator. This should be done a day prior to your treatment to allow your skin to recover.
     
  • TIP: If you cannot exfoliate the day prior to your tan and must do it the day of, use a washcloth with soap & water. Rub lightly, as you don’t want to spray over irritated skin.
     
  • Make sure your body is FREE OF MAKEUP, moisturizers, and deodorant. These can also act as a barrier and may cause unevenness or create discoloration.
     
  • WEAR loose, dark clothing and underwear to your appointment. The cosmetic bronzer in the tan may rub off slightly but will easily wash out of most fabrics. Do not wear jeans or tight pants immediately following your treatment. 
     
  • AVOID socks and sneakers. Sandals are ideal.
     
  • Be aware of the WEATHER! You cannot get wet for 8-10 hours after your treatment. BRING AN UMBRELLA!
     
  • DO NOT exercise on the day of your treatment. Excessive perspiration will adversely affect the development of your tan.
 

post

  • Following your Lumi treatment, it is best to wait 8-12 hours before showering, or 3-4 hours after an express treatment. In both cases, the longer you leave the solution on your skin, the darker it will develop. Your tan will continue to develop for a short time after your first shower. 
     
  • AVOID contact with water while your tan is developing and before your first shower. This includes, but is not limited to: sweating, washing hands, inclement weather, brushing teeth, etc. It is best to wait until after your first shower to workout as any perspiration can affect cause unevenness. 
     
  • You will see color washing off in the shower. Don’t freak out! This is just the bronzing agent, not your tan.
     
  • It is best to rinse with water, only use soap where necessary, and NO SCRUBBING or exfoliating. Any streaks or marks your clothing may have caused should even out during your first shower.
     
  • It is best to use organic soaps with essential oils and free of sulfates - other oils will fade your tan faster.
     
  • Avoid long, hot showers and baths. Pat skin dry - do not rub!
     
  • It is very important to MOISTURIZE day and night after your post-tan shower. Dry skin exfoliates quicker, so moisturizing between sessions is essential to keep your tan vibrant and even.
     
  • Chlorine, saltwater, and soaking will shorten the duration of your tan so avoid swimming pools and hot tubs following your application.
     
  • Sorry ladies, NO WAXING after your Lumi treatment. This is will not only remove your unwanted hair, but also the layer of your bronzed skin.
     
  • SHAVING is ok, however, this can exfoliate and remove your tan faster. If you must, shave as gently as possible.
     
  • With proper care, your Lumi treatment will last 5-10 days. It will gradually and evenly fade over time. 
     
  • IMPORTANT! Always apply SPF and/or sun protection. Lumi solution does not act as a sunblock or UV barrier.
