Before & After Spray Tan
Immediately after your spray tan, avoid water, sweating, or touching your skin for at least 6 to 8 hours to allow the tan to develop fully. Wear loose, dark clothing to prevent rubbing or staining.
Do not shower for at least 6 to 8 hours after the tan. When you do shower, use lukewarm water and avoid soap during the first rinse. Pat your skin dry gently instead of rubbing with a towel.
Keep your skin moisturized daily to prolong the tan. Use an oil-free moisturizer, as oils can cause the tan to fade unevenly.
Avoid products with alcohol, harsh chemicals, or exfoliants, as they can strip the tan. Instead, use gentle, sulfate-free cleansers and lotions.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as hydrated skin retains a spray tan longer and looks more even.
Limit exposure to pools, hot tubs, or saltwater, as chlorine and salt can cause the tan to fade more quickly.
Refrain from shaving or waxing for at least 24 hours after the spray tan to avoid irritation or uneven fading.
Exfoliate gently a few days after the tan begins to fade to ensure an even transition as the tan naturally wears off.
Follow these tips to maintain your tan as long as possible. If you have any specific concerns, your tanning technician may have additional advice tailored to your needs.
