24 Hours Before: Exfoliate & Remove Hair

Exfoliate your whole body the night before to ensure smooth, even skin – IONIQ TAN works on the top layer of skin, so fresh skin helps color develop and fade naturally.

If you shave, do it 24 hours in advance to avoid irritation. If not, no worries – IONIQ’s mist works just as well over body hair.

Day of Tanning: Shower with Gentle Soap

Take a shower using a mild, oil-free soap. Skin should be clean and free of lotion, oil, or deodorant.

Skip Deodorant & Perfume

These can block the mist and cause streaks. That’s why evening applications are best – no need for deodorant until the next day.

Moisturize Dry Spots

Apply a light layer of moisturizer to elbows, knees, hands, ankles, and feet. Let it absorb before tanning to avoid dark patches.
