Why Sugar Scrub Is Essential for a Flawless Spray Tan (When to Use It & When to Avoid It)
WHY SUGAR SCRUB IS ESSENTIAL FOR SPRAY TAN PREP
Achieving the perfect spray tan starts with exfoliation. Our all-natural Sugar Scrub is designed to buff away dead skin cells and impurities, revealing smooth and even-toned skin. This exfoliating scrub is the key to a flawless, long-lasting tan — and a powerful retail product for your spray tan business.
WHY EXFOLIATION MATTERS FOR SPRAY TANNING
The Sjolie Sugar Scrub works wonders when used 24 hours before a sunless tanning session. Its fine sugar granules gently slough away dead skin cells, creating a smooth canvas for the solution to adhere to evenly. This pre-tanning exfoliation helps the tan develop beautifully, preventing patchiness and ensuring a natural, sun-kissed glow.
Timing is important — avoid using the Sugar Scrub immediately after a tanning application, as scrubbing right after can strip away freshly applied color. Instead, use it in the days leading up to the session for optimal results. Sugar Scrub is also ideal for removing old, fading spray tan residue before the next appointment, ensuring a fresh, even canvas every time.
HOW TO USE SUGAR SCRUB FOR BEST RESULTS
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Prep | Dampen the skin with warm water in the shower or bath. This softens the skin and helps the scrub glide smoothly. |
| Apply | Take a generous amount of Sugar Scrub and massage onto damp skin in circular motions. Apply extra product to dry areas like knees, elbows, and feet where more buildup is common. |
| Rinse | Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat skin dry gently with a clean towel — avoid rubbing. |
| Timing | For spray tan prep, exfoliate 24 hours before the session. For general maintenance, exfoliate once per week or as needed to remove dead skin and old spray tan. |
| Face Use | Generally safe for the face — mix a small amount with your daily face wash for gentle exfoliation. Avoid use over active acne, rosacea, or sensitive skin. |
