01 PREPARE / Preparation is key. For best results 24 hours before application, exfoliate all dead skin cells, excess old tan and any other random bits off your skin that shouldn't be there. Shave, wax or any hair removal should be done at least 24 hours before. Shower in warm water and ensure skin is clean and free from deodorant, perfume, makeup, oils and moisturisers.
02 APPLY / Before you start, apply barrier cream to those dry places known to “grab” a tan, including tops and palms of hands, feet, heels and ankles, knees and elbows. Basically anywhere there is dry rough skin. Now you are all silky smooth and clean, shake bottle well and slip your hand into a IV APPLY ME MITT and do a few small pumps of the foam onto the mitt. Then in circular motions, apply the foam to the larger areas first and keep blending until it creates an even bronzed layer on the skin. Continue until you have covered all surfaces of your skin, going easy on the face, hands, knees, elbows and feet. Use your IV BACK APPLICATOR to apply to the back, if your significant other isn't home to help. DO NOT get a small child or your dog to do it, because that would be a disaster. Wait a few minutes and pop loose clothing on, marinate for the recommended time and wait for your gorgeous glow up to develop.
03 RINSE / Stay Cool and dry and once you have reached the suggested time (20mins - 4 hours) It's time to jump in the shower for a thorough rinse in lukewarm water. You will see all the bronzer wash away down the drain, continue rinsing (with water only) until the water runs clear. DON'T PEE - the ammonia in your urine will leave streaks on your legs. Phew. Glad we cleared that up, that would have been awkward. Now you are all rinsed, hop out of the shower and pat yourself dry with a towel (don't rub). Apply moisturiser to stay hydrated and your tan will continue to develop over the next 6-8 hours and full development will peak it the 24 hour mark.
04 CARE / Moisturise Moisturise Moisturise - keep your tan hydrated to ensure the life of your tan and it will fade away naturally. Dont have boiling hot showers, as this will dehydrate the skin and make the tan wear off quicker.
05 REMOVE / Once a week has passed, you are now ready to remove the remainder of your tan and start again. Using IV FADE, apply to any left over tan, leave for 5 to 10 mins then hop in the shower and use IV SCRUB ME MITT to exfoliate away all left over tan residue. Get out of the shower and moisturise head to toe.
06 REPEAT / Now you are back to pastie non glowing fresh AF baby skin, it's time to do it all again and get back to that bonze glow up.
