Bronze like a boss; top tricks for the perfect Spray Tan

Getting a spray tan is an easy way to achieve that bronzed glow, but a few prep and care tips can take your results from good to flawless! Whether you're a spray tan newbie or a regular, these tips will keep your tan looking fresh and fabulous.

1. Exfoliate Like a Pro

Before your appointment, gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells, especially on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. This helps the spray tan adhere evenly and prevents patchiness. Aim for 24 hours before, if possible, for the smoothest base.

2. Skip the Lotion and Deodorant

Avoid any lotions, deodorant, or makeup right before your spray tan. These products can create a barrier, causing the spray tan to go on unevenly. Go au naturel to ensure an even application!

3. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing Afterward

After your tan, choose loose-fitting, dark clothes to avoid any smudges or lines. Tight clothes can rub against your skin, potentially leaving lighter patches in areas like your waistband or collar.

4. Hydrate Your Skin

Keeping your skin hydrated is essential for a long-lasting tan. Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer daily to lock in the glow without causing streaks. The more hydrated your skin, the longer your tan will last.

5. Avoid Hot Showers and Exfoliating Products

Steamy showers and harsh scrubs can strip your tan faster. Stick to lukewarm water and gentle cleansers to extend your tan's life and avoid any exfoliating products until it’s time for your next appointment.

6. Don't Sweat It (Literally!)

Try to avoid heavy sweating or activities like hot yoga right after your spray tan. Sweat can lead to streaks if the tan hasn’t fully set, so give it at least 8 hours before breaking a sweat.

7. Pat, Don’t Rub, When Drying Off

After showering, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it. This helps keep your tan in place and prevents premature fading.

With these simple tips and tricks, your spray tan will look better and last longer!
