Pre-Tan Preparations to Consider

Prior to visiting goGLOW, thorough skin exfoliation is important. We recommend utilizing their specialized exfoliating mitt to uniformly remove dead skin cells and pave the way for an even tan application.

Equally important is abstaining from other beauty treatments immediately before tanning. Facials, waxes, and similar skin-stressing services should be completed at least 24-48 hours ahead of your sunless tan to prevent any interference with tan development.

Approach your tan with goGLOW not merely as an aesthetic treatment, but as part of a holistic skin care routine. Your skin, in its most radiant and healthy state, is the ideal canvas for the goGLOW touch.

Scheduling goGLOW Services

When coordinating your wedding timeline, remember the importance of meticulous scheduling for beauty services. Integrating goGLOW into your pre-nuptial planning guarantees a radiant complexion that complements your bridal look.

To ensure your glow is optimally developed for the big day, BOOK YOUR goGLOW tan 2-3 days in advance. This timeframe allows the tan to settle, ensuring it appears natural and fully integrated with your skin's own tone. Scheduling must take into account all pre-tan necessities, with goGLOW advising on the precise preparation timeline.
