Arriving at your appointment - Please arrive at your makeup appointment with a clean/bare face. No makeup or mascara. Any time needed to remove makeup/mascara takes away time that could be spent on your makeup look!

Day of - When you wake up, do your normal skincare routine. Cleanse, serums and moisturiser. I also recommend using a rich/hydrating lip balm (dermal therapy is my go to). During your appointment I will cleanse your skin and apply necessary skincare. But your at home skincare routine makes a huge difference to the look and wear of your makeup.

Night before - The night before your makeup appointment I recommend using a gentle skin exfoliator (to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth surface) followed by a rich hydrating moisturiser (to lock in hydration and moisture) + Lip balm. 

Week before - Any waxing or hair removal should be done in the week prior to your makeup appointment. I do not recommend any waxing or hair removal in the 48 hours prior to your event - if you are ever going to have a skin reaction, right before an important event is not ideal!

Weeks/months leading up - Regularly using a cleanser, serums (hyaluronic acid is my favourite) moisturiser, SPF and Lip Balm. A consistent skincare routine focusing on hydration in the lead up to an event is the best way to ensure the best finish, and optimal longevity/wear for your makeup. 

NOTE - I do not recommend introducing any new skincare products into your routine in the days/weeks leading up to an important event. Just in case a reaction occurs. Skin preparation for an important event should start 3-6 months in advance, if you don't already have a consistent skin care routine.

Arriving at your appointment - Please arrive at your appointment with clean dry hair. Preferably with your hair out, avoid using hair ties that will leave kinks/dents in the hair (claw clips are fine!)

Day before - Wash and blowdry your hair the day before your hair styling appointment. Avoid using too many products in your hair after washing, and leave it down/out where possible.

Week before - Any colouring or hair cuts are best done in the week before your event. Avoid having these appointments in the 48 hours leading up to your event, in case any adjustments need to be made or any reaction occurs.

Arriving at your appointment - Please arrive at your appointment with clean dry skin, wearing loose dark clothing. With no moisturiser or deodorant on. Slippers or slip on shoes recommended.

Day of - Ideally shower 4-6 (or more) hours before your spray tan. And avoid wearing moisturiser, perfume, deodorant etc. to your appointment.

Day before - For best results wax/shave and exfoliate 24 hours before your spray tanning appointment.

Week before - Exfoliating a week before your spray tan and using a moisturiser every day in the lead up to your tan up until 24 hours before.

AFTER - Leaving your tan on for the recommended development time, your first shower is a rinse only. Rinsing your body in lukewarm water until the water runs clear, do not use soap, shampoo or conditioner in this first shower. You may use soap/shampoo etc. from your second shower, and I recommend moisturising the skin everyday after your spray tan to ensure a nice fade off.
