Who It's For

Ideal if you want a natural glow without streaks or orange tones. Great for first-time tanners, events, and busy schedules. Suitable for all skin tones and most skin types.

Duration & Appointment Timing

The Basic Melt Tan takes around 25 minutes. Exfoliate and, if needed, shave 24 hours before. Arrive with product-free skin and wear loose, dark clothing. Book 1 to 2 days before your event to allow the colour to develop fully.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Keep skin dry for at least 8 hours while the tan develops.
  • Avoid deodorant, perfume, heavy lotions, sweating, and tight clothing during development.
  • First rinse with lukewarm water only. No soap at this stage.
  • Pat dry. Do not rub.
  • Moisturise daily with an oil-free lotion to prolong results.
  • Use gentle body wash. Avoid exfoliation and hot baths.
  • Expect results to last 5 to 7 days. Exfoliate before your next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How natural will the colour look?
We match depth and undertone to your skin for believable results. The melt technique softens edges at wrists, ankles, and neckline for a seamless finish.
What should I do before my tan?
Exfoliate and, if needed, shave 24 hours before. Arrive with clean, product-free skin and wear loose, dark clothing.
How long will the tan last?
With good aftercare, results typically last 5 to 7 days. Daily moisturising and gentle cleansing help extend wear.
Will it transfer onto clothes or sheets?
Some cosmetic bronzer may transfer while the tan develops. Choose dark, loose fabrics and sleep in older bedding on the first night.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
We review your skin and preferences in a brief consultation. We use quality formulas and can adapt application to minimise irritation.
