what preparation needs to be done before applying product and how long does the color last?

Thanks for your query A.K. ... preparation? Exfoliate your skin to remove excess dead skin cells. Spend a little extra time on areas with thick skin, such as your knees, elbows and ankles. 2) If you still feel that the skin in those areas is firm, try using a regular daily lotion after showering. The softer your skin, the easier it will be to apply your flawless, even tan. And your skin should be completely dry before applying. ... how long does the color last? The tan is instantaneous and on most skin, it lasts about 4 to 7 days. I trust that helps. Kind regards, Jack

If you want it to last you should heat set it and the color will not fade as bad with wash. It says to do that on the label I have.

Here's what I have learned through trial and sometimes error. These times are usually dependent on whatever brand polish you are using. Some will say on the box or bottle. Others I kind of just figured out on my own. Usually to be safe I do 30 seconds for base coats on brands that do not give instruction. I go 1 min on color if it is gel. I will go 3-4 on non gel colors. Top coat I go 1 min as well. I will say that I am a. Mom and tend to be paranoid when it comes to freshly done nails, so I give it a "just in case" amount of time. Good luck!

This product is a water soluble granule and must be mixed with water to apply.

Just gradually mix in hot water until you make a thin paste. I add oil and mix extra because it doesn't go in smooth, the oil helps. Then you cover your head and wait about an hour or so, the longer you wait the deeper the color. It lasts about a month and it's easier on my hair, very fine, dry's out and breaks easily. I wish it were lighter though, this one is a deep brown, still on the light side, my hair is more like a blondish brown usually.

You really need to bleach first, and I highly recommend the Sparks lightener and creme developer to do it. I also recommend going with the Ion color stay formula for conditioning, and keeping from fading. Message if you have any more questions. I love this color, and it's totally worth the hassle.

The instructions suggest and it would probably be best if you waited 24 hours before washing your hair after you use the color. Also, a shampoo formulated for colored hair seems to help the color last.

its best to apply pre tanning bed about 30 min so your skin has enough time to absorb the lotion.

I would do it now to get an idea of how dark you want it to be. That will give you an idea of how far in advance to put on, and you will be able to see how long it lasts on you. Since everyone's skin tone is different some don't need more than one application every few days. If you are not worried about that I would suggest the day before or morning of.

Wait till fully dry before going on whatever was sprayed. A light spray was about an hour, a heavy spray about 12 hours.

It's a cream in a tube only you don't need to mix it with developer. All bleaching/lifting should be done prior to using the color.

I apply it before moisturizer. Let set a few minutes then apply moisturizer.

Nothing to do, just let it dry for an overnight or 1 day to be sure. on the prep make sure it is dry and maybe you can use the sand paper (included in package) so paint will stick properly, then, clean it dry. It works on me, it looks like new afterwards.

As far as I am aware the product I used has no color relevance at all. The only indications about color is if you wish to color, color either before you apply the product or not before 2 weeks after you apply the product. Hope this helps.

With a coat of primer, but a half ounce won't cover much. It will glow for about an hour and taper down over night.
