EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR TAN

Spray tanning is a great way to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking tan without exposing your skin to harmful UV radiation.

However, to make the most of your spray tan and extend its life, it's important to take proper care of your skin after your appointment.

In this blog post, we'll share some tips for extending the life of your spray tan.

1. Avoid Water

   After your sunless tan appointment, it's important to avoid water for at least 6-8 hours. This means no showering, swimming, or sweating. Water can cause the tan to streak or fade prematurely, so it's important to give it time to fully develop.

2. Moisturize

   To keep your sunless tan looking its best, it's important to keep your skin moisturized. Dry skin can cause the tan to fade more quickly, so be sure to apply a moisturizer at least once a day. Avoid using oil-based moisturizers, as these can cause the tan to fade more quickly.

3. Avoid Harsh Products

   In the days following your spray tan, it's important to avoid using any harsh products on your skin, such as exfoliating scrubs or body washes. These can strip the tan from your skin and cause it to fade more quickly. Stick to gentle, mild products that won't strip your skin of its natural oils.

4. Don't Shave or Wax

   Shaving or waxing can also cause your spray tan to fade more quickly, so it's best to avoid these activities for at least 24-48 hours after your appointment. If you must shave or wax, be sure to use a gentle, non-abrasive product and avoid rubbing your skin too vigorously.

5. Touch Up

   To keep your spray tan looking fresh, you may want to consider a regular tanning schedule with appointments every 5-7 days. This schedule will refresh your tan and ensure that it continues to look natural and even. Be sure to remove all old product before reapplying though!

In conclusion, extending the life of your spray tan is all about taking proper care of your skin after your appointment. By avoiding water, moisturizing regularly, avoiding harsh products, avoiding shaving or waxing, and scheduling touch-up appointments as needed, you can enjoy a beautiful, long-lasting tan that helps you feel confident and radiant.
