INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Imagine your skin is like a wall in your home and a spray tan is like a can of paint.  Sure, you can apply the paint directly to the wall without any preparation, but it might not look very good.  Instead, taking the time to prepare the wall for paint (e.g. filling holes, sanding rough spots, using primer, etc.) will ensure the new layer of paint you apply will look its best.  You want to do the exact same type of preparation to your skin before applying a spray tan in order to help it look great and last as long as possible.  Use a body scrub and washcloth to exfoliate your skin in the shower every day for at least 3 days before your spray tan is applied. Complete any waxing you need at least 24 hours before your spray tan is applied. Ideally, you should shower and exfoliate about 8 hours before your spray tan appointment.  If needed, you can apply a light body moisturizer after your shower, but don't use anything heavy or thick the day of your appointment. By showering and exfoliating 8 hours before your appointment, you're allowing your skin to reach the best pH level for taking a spray tan. The clothes and shoes you put on immediately following your appointment can cause all sorts of problems with your tan if you're not careful.  You'll want to avoid anything with straps (including a bra) so as not to create lines in your tan.  Light cotton clothing that is loose fitting and without straps is your best option for wearing home from your appointment. Sandals are also the best footwear option, but be careful that the straps on your sandals don't cause lines in the tan on your feet. If you do get strap lines on your feet, you can exfoliate the skin on your feet until the various coloured areas blend together. The day of your spray tan appointment you may want to avoid using products such as deodorant, foundation, and thick or heavy lotions.  If you have no choice but to wear these items that day, make sure the technician at the spray tan clinic provides you with wipes to remove them before the spray tan is applied.  These products form a layer on top of your skin that the spray tan product won't be able to penetrate.  That means when you wash these products off, the skin where they use to be will be lighter than the surrounding skin. Wearing eye makeup to your appointment should be okay, and won't need to be removed before the spray tan is applied. Yes, the paper underwear isn't fun, but wearing them is worth the effort if you want your tan to look great.  Putting on regular underwear may cause lines to form where the elastics touch your skin.  The purpose of a spray tan is not to have any lines, so this completely defeats the purpose! Not every spray tan product is the same.  Some require more time than others to set.  It's important to ask the technician who applied the spray tan what specific instructions you need to follow for the specific tan you had applied. Once you know what your instructions are, make sure you following them precisely.  If you need to time something, set a reminder alarm on your phone so you don't forget.

SUMMARY: Exfoliate your skin every day for the three days before your spray tan is applied. Arrive at your spray tan appointment with clean skin. Be careful what clothes and shoes you wear to your spray tan appointment. Avoid deodorant, foundation, and lotion. Wear the paper underwear you're given for a few hours after your appointment. Ask the technician what you need to do immediately after the tan is applied.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Give your cookware several minutes to return to a normal temperature. If you submerge a hot pan in cold water, it may cause the material to permanently warp or bubble.  Always use warm or hot water to clean your Calphalon cookware. Exposing heated cookware to cold water against the manufacturer’s instructions may void your product warranty. Though Calphalon is scratch-resistant and made to take a beating, too much consistent wear and tear can render its nonstick finish ineffective. Avoid dropping, banging or being overly rough with your cookware. If you take care of it, it’s guaranteed to last you a long time.  Whenever possible, use plastic utensils instead of metal ones to prevent scratches.  Never attempt to cut ingredients while they’re inside the pan. If your cookware starts looking dull after repeated use, a product like Calphalon Dormond Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend can restore the finish to its original condition. These types of cleansers are formulated specifically for use on stainless steel and other nonstick surfaces, and can be useful for renewing smoothness and shine. Nonstick cleansers and polishes can leave behind a powdery residue if they’re not rinsed away completely. Buffing can improve the appearance of pieces that have just begun to display tell-tale silvery scratch lines. Using a heavy-duty Scotch-Brite scrubbing pad, rub the area around the scratch with a light circular motion until the worst of the damage disappears. Afterwards, treat the piece with a special nonstick cleanser and rinse it thoroughly.  Rub along the grain of the pan to avoid causing further scratching or scuffing. Severely scratched cookware should be thrown out and replaced. When nonstick surfaces become damaged, it’s possible for them to release toxic chemicals that can leach into food.

SUMMARY:
Allow the cooking surface to cool before washing. Handle Calphalon with care. Polish pots and pans with a special cleanser. Buff out small scratches.
