Things to avoid with a spray tan (where possible)
- Ocean, spas, swimming pools (especially chlorinated), saunas, massages, lying around in the sand etc. (but hey that’s why you got the tan right?)
- Exercise/sweating for 24 hours, but please be aware that sweat may still affect your tan in general
- Perfume or any sprays for 24 hours
- Dove & Olay body wash or soap & AVEENO moisturisers
- Lotions or products containing oils
- Taking long hot showers or baths
- Using any product with acids in it
- High UV sunscreens (but remember you are not protected from the suns harmful rays)
- Fashion or boob tape, bandages, and anything else that may strip your tan.
Your tan should last for around 7-10 days if you look after it. If for some reason you get less there could be a few valid reasons for this, including not following the above advice. Also your skins PH balance plays a big part in how your tan takes. If your skins PH is out then that can affect this, things like diet, medications and hormones can all contribute to this. We have the option of using our Tan Prep PH Balancing primer if you notice this issue of your tan not lasting like it should.
Remember, if you don’t follow every step to a tee, it’s not the end of the world! These tips are just recommendations to help you achieve the best possible outcome and longevity for your tan. Rest assured, we’ll still have you looking gorgeous and glowing, no matter what!
