Our Treatments
Tanning
At the Urban Sanctuary we stock the full range of Sienna X professional spray tan shades to ensure you get the best possible tan for your skin type. Spray tans are suitable for both women and men. A Sienna X spray tan gives a gorgeous, natural- looking tan without the inherent dangers of skin damage that can result from over exposure to UVA/B rays, letting you look stunningly tanned all year round.
Before Your Tan
To get a gorgeous professional tan there are a few things you can do to help your therapist achieve a beautiful even glow and keep your colour for longer.
- Shave at least 24 hours before your treatment or 48 hours if waxing. This time allows pores to close properly and stop tell-tale dotting that can appear after your tan application.
- Once hair free, exfoliate. Removing dead skin cells and revealing radiant new skin will make your tan last longer.
- Apply Sienna X Moisturise lotion to skin the night before your tan, this will replace any moisture lost from removing hair and exfoliation and keep skin super smooth. Remember to pay particular attention to stubborn dry areas such as hands, elbows, knees and ankles.
- Paint nails and toenails (especially if artificial) to prevent any discolouration from the tanning product.
- On the day of your tan application rinse off any products, oils, moisturisers and make-up and avoid using deodorant or perfume until after your tan.
After Your Tan
Our simple steps will ensure that you get the best results from your professional Sienna X tan.
- Plan ahead before your appointment by wearing loose, dark clothing and flip-flops or loose fitting shoes. Tight clothes and underwear can leave marks and ruin your tan.
- Do not exercise or swim during the development time.
- If you’re not showering until the morning then wear loose gloves or socks in bed to prevent hands accidently touching your body during your sleep and leaving hand marks on your beautiful tan.
- Do not shower or bathe for the development period after your tan.
- Use a light body wash that is mild and gentle so it won’t strip your colour.
- Pat dry after showering.
- A sunless tan can begin to fade over time as the skin’s natural cells begin to flake off and regenerate. Moisturising daily using the Sienna X Moisturise lotion will ensure you get the most out of your tan.
- Use Sienna X products such as the gradual tanning lotion or face mist to extend the life of your tan and keep your gorgeous glow.
