More than a trend, it’s a complete skin reset. And when it comes to self-tanning, it’s the difference between an average result and a flawless, even glow.

If you’ve ever wondered how to properly remove self-tan or how to prepare your skin for self-tanning, this is where it starts.

What Is An Everything Shower?

An everything shower routine is a full-body reset, combining cleansing, exfoliation, shaving, and treatment steps into one session.

The goal? Smooth, clean, product-free skin — the perfect base for your next self-tan.

Everything Shower Steps for the Perfect Tan Prep

1. Set the Mood

Create a warm, calming environment. This is your reset — not just another shower.

2. Gather Your Essentials

To complete your everything shower routine, you’ll need:

1. Facial cleanser

2. Shampoo and conditioner

3. Body wash

4. Shaving essentials

5. Hair or face masks

6. Loving Tan Tan Remover Gel

7. Moisturiser or body oil

3. Remove Old Tan (Key Step for Even Results)

If you’re looking for the best way to remove self-tan at home, this step is essential.

Apply Loving Tan Tan Remover Gel to dry skin and leave on for 10 minutes.

This gentle yet effective formula helps break down built-up tan, making removal effortless while keeping skin soft and hydrated.

Step into the shower and use an exfoliating glove in circular motions to lift away old tan and smooth the skin.

This step ensures your next tan applies evenly, without patchiness.

4. Wash and Treat Hair

Cleanse your scalp and follow with conditioner or a hair mask as needed.

For best self-tanning results, we recommend avoiding tanning on the same day as washing your hair. However, if needed, ensure all shampoo and conditioner residue is thoroughly removed from the skin by exfoliating well.

5. Cleanse Your Face

Use a gentle cleanser to remove oil, makeup, and impurities.

6. Shave for a Smooth Finish

Shaving after exfoliation helps achieve a closer shave and prevents irritation.

7. Cleanse the Body

Wash away any remaining product to ensure skin is completely clean before tanning.

8. Exfoliate for a Smooth Base

Exfoliation is one of the most important steps in any self-tan prep routine.

Using your Skin Polishing Glove, gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and any leftover tan.

Proper exfoliation helps prevent streaks, patchiness, and uneven fading.

9. Rinse and Cool Down

Finish with cooler water to refresh skin and help minimise redness.

10. Post-Shower Care (Before Self-Tanning)

Pat skin dry — avoid rubbing.

If you’re planning to apply self-tan, skip moisturiser, as it can create a barrier and affect development.

For best results, wait 12+ hours after exfoliating before applying your next tan.

Why the Everything Shower Matters for Self-Tanning

A proper everything shower routine creates the ideal foundation for self-tan by:

1. Removing old tan buildup

2. Smoothing skin texture

3. Preventing patchy or uneven results

4. Helping your tan last longer

Simply put, better prep equals better results.
