Welcome to our ultimate guide on maximising the longevity of your beautiful spray tan! With these top-notch aftercare tips, you can ensure that your skin remains flawless from the moment you step out of the TANNING BARE studio until your next tanning session.

 

Tip 1: Skip the Body Wash for the First Rinse

When it’s time to rinse off your tan for the first time, resist the urge to grab body wash. Instead, opt for a gentle rinse using only luke warm water. This step allows the tan to fully develop and ensures optimal colour retention.

Tip 2: Embrace the Warm Shower and Circular Motions

For subsequent showers after your tan, only use luke warm water and use circular motions to gently cleanse your skin with a natural non-foaming, fragrance free body wash. This method helps maintain an even fade and prevents any patchiness as the skin will not be stripped of its natural moisture.

Tip 3: Pat Dry, Don’t Rub

After your shower, be kind to your tan by patting your skin dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can cause premature fading or unevenness. Patting gently helps to preserve the integrity of your tan, ensuring a more extended and flawless glow.

Tip 4: Embrace the Development Process

Remember, the magic of your spray tan doesn’t stop immediately after leaving the studio. The colour will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. Be patient and allow the tan to fully develop, avoiding any activities that could potentially disrupt the process, such as excessive sweating or getting wet.

Tip 5: Hydrate for Longevity

One of the secrets to prolonging the life of your tan is keeping your skin well-hydrated. After your second shower, apply a nourishing natural moisturiser to lock in moisture and help maintain the vibrancy of your colour. Moisturising regularly not only extends the lifespan of your tan but also keeps your skin supple and glowing.

 

Tip 6: Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate

Drinks 2 to 3 litres of water every single day! This is VITAL for ensuring your skin stays hydrated from the inside out. Your skin is your largest organ and unfortunately it doesn’t matter how often you moisturise your skin on the outer if the inner is dehydrated, your skin will reflect this externally and let me promise you this, your tan hates dry dehydrated skin!

 

By following these aftercare tips, you’ll be able to get the absolute best results out of your tan, ensuring it lasts longer and remains a flawless part of your beauty routine.
