What should clients do before their tanning session?

Before a tanning session, clients should exfoliate their skin and avoid applying sunscreen. Exfoliating the skin removes dead skin cells, leading to a smoother surface for tanning, which helps achieve a more even and longer-lasting tan. This process allows for better absorption of tanning products and reduces the risk of patchy results.

Avoiding sunscreen before tanning is also crucial, as sunscreen can create a barrier that prevents tanning products from properly interacting with the skin. If clients apply sunscreen, it may inhibit the tanning process by blocking UV rays, which are essential for developing a tan. Therefore, proper preparation before tanning is key to achieving the desired results.

Moisturizing the skin, while beneficial at other times, might interfere with the tanning solutions by adding oils or other substances that could lead to uneven application. Shaving can help minimize irritation during the tanning process but is not as essential as proper exfoliation and the absence of sunscreen.
