Spray Tanning Secrets & Tips
Sugar scrubs are a spray tan’s worst enemy!
Sugar scrubs contain oil that causes the tan to not adhere to the skin – It’ll wash right off in the shower. Be sure to stick to an exfoliating mitt with soap or non-oil based scrub.
Shaving should be at least 12 hours before your spray tan.
Shaving at least 12 hours before your next spray tan has several different benefits. As a mild exfoliant, shaving produces new skin cells and removes troublesome hairs that can help your tan last longer. But, shave too soon your pores are left open and can lead to irritation as well as tanning solution leaving black spots on legs. So be sure to not shave the day of your tan.
Spray tanning does not have SPF in it, you will still BURN!
Spray tanning solution does not have SPF in it, so if you tend to burn in the sun, you can still burn with a spray tan. You need to be sure you are still applying an SPF, this will help your skin stay healthy and protected. Getting a sunburn with a tan can cause peeling of skin which will cause your tan to peel as well. Now if you tend to get dark in the sun you will still continue to get a tan with your spray tan, and that honestly is my favorite! Nothing beats getting even more tan!
Be careful of chlorine and salt water effecting your spray tan.
Although mild exposure to chlorinated water and salt water has little effect on your spray tan, extended time in the pools and ocean can slowly bleach the tan from your skin. Next time you take a dip just be sure to pat yourself dry when you’re done.
Keep your spray tan moisturized!
Be sure to keep your skin hydrated after your first shower to maximize your tan. BUT too much lotion could be a bad thing. Be sure to use a light lotion and not body butters. Body butters are too thick and can cause your tanning solution to build up on your skin and become blotchy.
Hopefully these quick tips & little known secrets will help maximize the results of your next spray tan and keep your skin looking and feeling beautiful!
