How to Extend the Life of Your Spray Tan: Tips and Tricks
Congratulations on your beautiful spray tan! Now, you might be wondering how to make it last as long as possible. With the right care and maintenance, you can extend the life of your spray tan and enjoy your sun-kissed glow for days longer. Here are some tips and tricks to help you do just that:
1. Moisturize Daily:
Keeping your skin hydrated is key to maintaining your spray tan. Use a moisturizer every day, especially after showering, to prevent your skin from drying out and your tan from fading prematurely.
2. Avoid Long Baths and Hot Showers:
Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing your tan to fade faster. Opt for lukewarm water instead and try to keep your showers short to preserve your spray tan.
3. Pat Dry, Don't Rub:
When drying off after showering, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it. Rubbing can cause your tan to fade faster, so be gentle with your skin.
4. Use Gentle Cleansers:
Harsh soaps and cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause your tan to fade. Use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser to keep your skin clean without compromising your tan.
5. Avoid Exfoliating:
Exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells, but it can also scrub away your tan. Avoid exfoliating until your tan starts to fade, and even then, be gentle to prolong the life of your spray tan.
6. Avoid Chlorinated Water:
Chlorine can be harsh on your skin and cause your tan to fade faster. If possible, avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or wear a waterproof sunscreen to protect your tan.
7. Touch Up as Needed:
If you notice any areas of your tan fading faster than others, you can use a self-tanning lotion or spray to touch up those areas. Be sure to blend the product well to avoid streaks.
8. Wear Loose Clothing:
Tight clothing can rub against your skin and cause your tan to fade unevenly. Wear loose, breathable clothing to help your tan last longer.
By following these simple tips and tricks, you can extend the life of your spray tan and enjoy your sun-kissed glow for days longer. If you have any other questions or need further advice, feel free to reach out to us at Touch n Glow Tan in Redlands, CA.
