An exfoliating cleanse that effortlessly lifts patchy fake tan.

Science

An exfoliating cleanse that effortlessly lifts patchy fake tan. Pineapple and papaya enzymes assist in dissolving dead skin cells, while allantoin softens and smooths. Skin feels clean and calm: perfectly prepped for your next laser appointment.

Simplified 

Because fake tan and lasers don't mix.

Skin Priorities Addressed

  • Fake tan removal pre-treatment
  • Dead skin cell buildup
  • Uneven tan patches
  • Pre-laser preparation
  • Treatment safety requirements

How It Works

This specialised cleanser addresses a critical pre-treatment need; complete fake tan removal. Laser energy is attracted to pigment, and fake tan can cause burns, uneven results, or treatment complications. Pineapple enzymes (bromelain) and papaya enzymes (papain) work synergistically to break down the proteins binding dead, tanned skin cells. Sodium PCA maintains moisture during this intensive removal process. Allantoin soothes and conditions, preventing irritation from the exfoliation. The result is completely clean, tan-free skin that's safe for laser treatment.

FAQs

Physical scrubbing may not remove tan completely. Enzymes dissolve the tanned cells more effectively.

Skin should return to natural colour with no patches or streaking visible.

No, this is specifically for tan removal before treatments, not daily use. It could be used weekly to remove patchy tan prior to fresh tan application.

Why Fake Tan is Dangerous with Laser

Laser targets pigment. Fake tan adds artificial pigment that can cause burns, scarring, or uneven results. Complete removal is essential.

The 48-Hour Rule

Remove tan at least 48 hours before treatment to ensure complete clearance and allow skin to normalise.
