Post-Spray Tan Instructions: Maintain Your Perfect Glow

Congratulations on your spray tan! To ensure it looks flawless and lasts as long as possible, follow these post-spray tan care instructions.

1. Wait Before Showering

Allow the tanning solution time to develop fully.

  • Wait at least 6-8 hours (1-3 with Rapid) before taking your first shower. 
  • During this waiting period, avoid activities that cause sweating or getting your skin wet.

2. First Shower

Be gentle with your skin during your first shower.

  • After the recommended waiting period, take a lukewarm shower.
  • Rinse with water only for the first shower. Avoid using soap, body wash, or exfoliating products. Gently pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing.

3. Moisturize Regularly

Keeping your skin hydrated will help prolong the life of your tan.

  • Start moisturizing immediately after your first shower and continue daily.
  • se an oil-free, hydrating moisturizer to prevent your tan from fading too quickly.

4. Avoid Exfoliation

Prevent your tan from fading unevenly.

  • For at least the first week after your spray tan.
  • Avoid exfoliating products, loofahs, and scrubs. Also, be gentle when drying your skin after showers.

5. Stay Hydrated

Hydration from within helps maintain your tan.

  • Continuously, especially during the days following your spray tan.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and your tan looking fresh.

6. Avoid Chlorine and Saltwater

Chlorine and saltwater can strip away your tan.

  • For at least the first week after your spray tan.
  • Avoid swimming in pools and oceans. If you do swim, rinse off and moisturize immediately afterward.

7. Be Cautious with Beauty Treatments

Certain beauty treatments can affect your tan.

  • Avoid treatments like waxing, facials, and massages for the first few days after your spray tan.
  • Schedule any beauty treatments before your spray tan or wait until your tan starts to fade naturally.

8. Wear Sunscreen

Even though you have a tan, your skin still needs protection from UV rays.

  • Use a broad-spectrum, oil-free sunscreen to protect your skin without affecting your tan.

9. Choose Gentle Products

Harsh chemicals can strip your tan.

  • Use gentle, sulfate-free body washes and avoid products with alcohol, which can dry out your skin.

10. Maintain Your Tan

To extend the life of your tan, consider gradual tanning lotions.

  • Apply a gradual tanning lotion every few days to maintain and enhance your tan

By following these post-spray tan care instructions, you'll ensure your tan remains even, natural-looking, and long-lasting. Enjoy your beautiful, bronzed glow!
