Aftercare

Gel Manicure Aftercare Please follow these top tips to get the very best results from your Bio Sculpture or OPI Gel Manicure: For the first 24 hours: • Avoid soaking your hands in water for long periods (e.g. swimming or hot baths). • Avoid direct heat such as saunas or sunbeds. DO: • Wear gloves when washing dishes, cleaning, or gardening. • Be cautious with insect repellents, sun creams, or alcohol-based products as these can break down the gel. • Moisturise your hands and nails daily. We love using hand cream, body butter, or almond oil. • Use cuticle oil regularly to maintain hydration and prevent lifting. DON’T: • Don’t file or reshape your nails - this will break the gel seal and may lead to lifting. • Don’t pick or peel your gel - this causes damage and thinning of the natural nail plate. Proper aftercare ensures longer-lasting, healthier nails and helps protect your investment.

To get the best results from your spray tan, please follow the aftercare tips below. First 24 Hours • Allow your tan to fully develop for the recommended time. • Avoid water, sweating, or any activity that causes moisture on the skin. • Do not exercise or shower early. • When you rinse, wait until the water runs clear, then gently pat skin dry, do not rub. Maintaining Your Tan • Moisturise daily to prolong your tan and maintain an even finish. • Avoid long baths, saunas, or swimming — these will fade your tan faster. • Always apply SPF - sunless tans do not offer sun protection. • Begin light exfoliation after 5–7 days to encourage a smooth, even fade. Before Your Next Appointment • Exfoliate your whole body the night before your tan, focusing on dry areas (elbows, knees, ankles, hands, feet). • Complete all hair removal at least 24 hours before your tan. • Do not apply moisturiser, perfume, or deodorant on the day of your appointment. • Remove contact lenses before treatment to avoid irritation. What to Wear • Wear loose, dark clothing after your tan. • Avoid light colours, tight bras, jeans, socks, or closed shoes. • Tight clothing or rubbing can cause streaking and a patchy finish.
