Preparing for Your Next Spray Tan

  • To best prepare for your next appointment, start by exfoliating your skin to help remove a spray tan. Exfoliants help get rid of the top layer of your skin and make it more receptive to the spray tan solution. Ask about our exfoliating mitt sold in store to remove your old spray tan and exfoliates to prepare your skin for the next spray tan!

    Prepare for your appointment by exfoliating at least 4 hours before. This gives your pores time to close up, which helps avoid discoloration. It will also leave you with a fresh new layer of skin to tan. Make sure your exfoliant is oil-free and made from organic and natural ingredients.

  • Be sure to clean off any lotions or makeup before coming to your next tanning appointment. Hydrated skin is beautiful skin, but lotions make it harder for the tanning solution to adhere to your skin.  

  • Get all of your beauty services, like nails, waxing, or a massage before your spray tan to avoid the potential of rubbing off a fresh spray tan. Make sure to wax at least 24 hours before a spray tan to make sure any leftover wax is cleaned off.

  • If you need to shave, do so 4 to 12 hours before your spray tan to avoid irritation.

Spray Tan Aftercare: 24 Hours After Your Tan

The first 24 hours after your spray tan can make or break how it looks, so it’s important to know what to do after a spray tan.

  • After your tan, you should wear loose-fitting clothing so your tan doesn’t rub off or look uneven. The perfect outfit is a long, black t-shirt dress and sandals. You’ll want to avoid wearing anything tight, like jeans, leggings, yoga pants, socks, or sneakers. 

  • It might sound silly but try to avoid wearing a bra or undies directly after your spray tan. If you do want to wear underwear, choose a loose, dark pair as the spray tan solution could stain nylon or Lycra (it washes out of most fabrics, though). If you want to wear a bra, choose a strapless or bandeau style. 

  • To help your tan develop, you’ll want to avoid all moisture for at least 4-5 hours after you get a spray tan. This includes showering, workouts, hot yoga, lotions, liquid foundation, etc. Staying dry will help the spray tan solution adhere to your skin.

  • We recommend showering no sooner than 3-4 hours after your spray tan, but no longer than 24 hours after. When you do shower, be gentle and only use oil-free cleansers. Avoid any exfoliants and just use the palm of your hand to gently rinse off the surface bronzer. Avoid harsh scrubbing, hot water, drying soaps, and other chemicals. Pat yourself dry instead of rubbing.  

  • After your shower, moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer. Ask about our post tan lotions sold in store! Hydrated skin maintains a tan longer than dry, thirsty skin. Remember the previous spray tan aftercare tip to stay dry and make sure that any moisturizing occurs at least 24 hours after your spray tan. 

    These spray tan aftercare tips will help you navigate the first 24 hours after your tan, but having a great tan also involves good skincare between appointments to keep you fresh and glowing.

  • Many people wonder “can you put makeup over a fresh spray tan?”. However, like any moisture, you want to try and avoid applying any makeup for at least 6 to 8 hours after a spray tan. Applying makeup or any other types of moisturizer can alter the color of a fresh spray tan or cause blotches.

Spray Tan Aftercare: 1 Week After Your Tan

Your spray tan will last anywhere between 5-10 days, depending on your skin complexion and how you care for your tan. Taking good care of your skin and your tan in the week after a spray tan is super important, so try these tips:

  • Make sure to moisturize in the morning and evening to keep your skin looking healthy.

  • Avoiding swimming, long hot showers, baths, steam rooms, saunas, or any other activity that exposes your skin to being wet for long periods of time.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals such as chlorine, products containing acids, massages, fashion tape, bandages, and anything else that may strip your tan. 

  • Keep your hands off your skin as much as possible to avoid discoloration. This includes crossing your legs and arms for long periods of time.

Spray Tan Aftercare: Good Skincare

Spray tan aftercare goes far beyond just what you wear in and out of the studio. To make the most out of your tan, take good care of your skin at all times. These tips will help you focus on the long-term health of your skin:

  • We can’t deny the beauty of bronzed skin, but that doesn’t mean you should sit out in the sun to tan. Harmful UV rays can cause skin damage like wrinkles and age spots, and may increase your risk for skin cancer. Always apply at least an SPF 15 broad spectrum sunscreen, even if you don’t plan on spending a lot of time outside. Even a little sun here and there can impact your skin’s health. 

  • To help your skin recover and adhere to good spray tan aftercare, try these tips:

    -Take shorter, cooler showers instead of long, hot ones

    -Avoid strong soaps that have stripping chemicals

    -Use shaving cream when shaving to lubricate your skin

    -Pat yourself dry instead of rubbing your skin

  • Your diet plays an important role in your skin health and can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Try supplements like fish oil to nourish skin and avoid unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates.

  • Drinking lots of water not only helps your skin, but it helps your body as a whole. One recommendation is to drink eight, 8 oz. glasses of water a day (64 ounces). Another suggestion is to divide your body weight in half and drink that many ounces. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you would drink 75 ounces.  

    While these spray tan aftercare tips don’t have to do with your actual spray tan, they do promote healthy skin, which is the key to getting a glowing tan.
