Sunna Tan Light Solution: Pre-Tan Barrier Balm Routine

Quick answer

Apply Sunna Tan Basic Pre-Tan Barrier Balm to dry areas like palms, cuticles, and heels before spraying Sunna Tan Light Tanning Solution. This two-step prep prevents uneven DHA absorption and ensures a smooth, natural-looking tan.

Step-by-step routine

1. Exfoliate 24 hours before: Use a gentle scrub on your body, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Avoid exfoliating on the day of tanning—it can leave residue that interferes with the solution.
2. Apply barrier balm to dry areas: Squeeze a small amount of Sunna Tan Basic Pre-Tan Barrier Balm onto your palms, nails, cuticles, heels, and any other dry patches. Spread a thin, even layer without rubbing it in completely. Don’t apply balm to areas you want tanned; it will block color development.
3. Spray Sunna Tan Light Solution evenly: Hold the spray nozzle about 6–8 inches from your skin and apply in sweeping motions, covering all areas. Use a mirror for hard-to-reach spots. Check for missed spots by viewing your skin from different angles.
4. Let it develop and rinse: Allow the solution to develop for the time recommended on the product label (typically 8–12 hours). Then rinse with lukewarm water—no soap—and pat dry. Avoid sweating or getting wet during development to prevent streaks.
