Prep & Aftercare
Before the session
- Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.
- Shave, wax and exfoliate* the skin at least 24 hours
- prior to the appointment. It’s important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before the application otherwise it may leave dark spots.
- Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on theskin and prevent the solution from developingcorrectly.
- Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume ordeodorant the day of the appointment.
- Moisturize the skin days prior the session (not the day
- of the appointment).
- The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.
*EXFOLIATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO ACHIEVE AN OPTIMAL RESULT THAT WILL LAST UP TO 10 DAYS.WE SUGGEST TO USE A GOOD QUALITY SCRUB WITH AN EXFOLIATING MITT WILL ALLOW THE ELIMINATION OF DEAD SKIN CELLS AND IMPURITIES. PAY ATTENTION TO ROUGH AREAS LIKE FEET, ANKLES, ELBOWS,ARMPITS, KNUCKLES, COLLARBONES, ETC.IF THE EXFOLIATION HASN’T BEEN DONE PROPERLY,THE RESULT COULD BE UNEVEN AND FADE QUICKLY. NUDA PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO FADE GRADUALLY AND EVENLY WHEN THE SKIN IS PROPERLY PREPARED.BEFORE THE SESSION We recommend you to wear loose and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.
After the session
- Avoid activities that provoke sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it’s rainingor snowing outside, wear long and covering clothes.
- Do not apply cream or makeup on the skin during the development period.
- If you will be sleeping with solutions on; go to bed wearing long clothes.
- Wait 8 to 12 hours or 1 to 5 hours before showering, depending on the solution. Refer to your artist for the adapted delay.
- Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, we recommend not using soap.
- Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. Use the NUDA Body Cream for best results.
- Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long hot baths or showers often can cause faster fading.
- Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.
- Use gentle facial cleansers, no oil-based or exfoliating products.
- Avoid lotion, soap and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading.
- Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues.
