Spray Tanning Tips - After Your Sunless Tan

The following 8 hours after your spray tan

Don't shower for at least 8 hours after your spray tanning session
Results are immediate but will continue to develop over the next 8 hours.
Refrain from physical activity that causes you to sweat or become wet
This includes swimming, sauna/steam sessions and massage.
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing while your tan is developing

Ideally cotton and not synthetic fiber based clothing. Refrain from wearing tight fitting bras, sports bras or shoes.


8 hours after your spray tan

Take a light warm shower

Wash with a mild shower gel and simply rinse the extra airbrush solution off the surface of your skin. Do not exfoliate your skin during this shower. Gently pat yourself dry. Do not rub yourself dry.

Shaving after your tan speeds up the exfoliation process and shortens your tan

This causes your tan to start to fade. When shaving, be sure to use a fresh blade with a light touch to minimize exfoliation and extend the life of your tan.

Refrain from body waxing

It is not recommended to wax off unwanted body hair while you have your airbrush tan as it is a super exfoliant that will cause your tan to fade more quickly.

Enjoy your healthy glow for the next 5-7 days
See our Tanning Tips section on how to best maintain your tan during this period.
