What role does professional exfoliation play in tanning preparation?

Professional exfoliation plays a crucial role in tanning preparation by ensuring a smoother and longer-lasting tan. When the skin is properly exfoliated, dead skin cells are removed, which allows for more even absorption of tanning products. This process not only enhances the application of a tanning solution but also prolongs the longevity of the tan, as new skin cells replace the old ones less rapidly on freshly exfoliated skin.

Additionally, smoother skin leads to a more uniform surface for the tanning products, which helps to prevent patchiness and streaks that can occur when dead skin accumulates. By removing these layers, the skin’s texture is improved, resulting in a glow that can be maintained longer, making exfoliation an essential step in the tanning preparation process.
