How to Make your Spray Tan Last Longer

The Tanoholix Guide to Making Your Spray Tan Last

A great spray tan doesn't have to disappear after a few days. The products you use at home can make a big difference in how your tan looks, how evenly it fades, and how long you can enjoy your glow. At Tanoholix, we carry a selection of products specifically chosen to help you maintain your tan and take care of your skin between appointments. Here's what we recommend and how to use each one.

Tan Extend: Make Your Tan Last Longer

One of our favorite products for spray tan maintenance is Tan Extend by Sjolie Sunless. Tan Extend is more than a moisturizer. It's a gradual tanner that you can use once you start noticing your spray tan fade. Rather than letting your color disappear completely and starting over, Tan Extend helps gradually replenish your color and keep your glow going for several additional days. The key is knowing when to use it. Once you notice your tan beginning to fade, incorporate Tan Extend into your routine to refresh your color and help extend the life of your spray tan.

Our tip: Don't wait until your tan is completely gone. Tan Extend works best as a maintenance product when you first notice your color starting to fade.

Body Renew: Keep Your Skin Hydrated

Proper hydration is an important part of spray tan aftercare. Dry skin can cause your tan to fade more quickly and unevenly. Body Renew by Sjolie Sunless is an indulgent moisturizer that helps keep your skin soft and hydrated while you enjoy your tan. Make moisturizing part of your daily routine to keep your skin looking smooth and your tan looking its best.

Bronzing Mousse: Add Color Between Appointments

Sometimes you want a little more color without coming in for another spray tan. Our Sjolie Sunless Bronzing Mousse in Medium is a streak-free tanning foam that allows you to add color at home. It's a great option for maintaining your glow between appointments or adding a little extra color before an event.

Exfoliating Mitt: Start With a Clean Canvas

Exfoliation is especially important when you're preparing for your next spray tan. Our exfoliating mitt helps remove old, fading color and dry skin so you're starting with a fresh, smooth canvas for your next appointment. For the best results, exfoliate before your next spray tan rather than immediately after your appointment.

Tan Water: Keep Your Face Glowing

Your face often fades differently than the rest of your body, which is why Tan Water by Sjolie Sunless is a great addition to your routine. This hydrating face mist helps maintain a fresh, sun-kissed look between spray tans while adding hydration to the skin. It's an easy product to keep on hand when you want your face to match the rest of your glow.

Spray Tan-Safe Shower Gel

Your shower routine can have a bigger impact on your spray tan than you might think. Using a spray tan-safe shower gel helps you keep your skin clean without being as harsh on your tan as some traditional body washes can be. We recommend avoiding harsh scrubbing and anything that leaves your skin feeling overly dry or stripped.

Sunscreen: Don't Forget Your SPF

A spray tan gives you color, but it does not protect your skin from the sun. That's why sunscreen should still be part of your everyday routine, especially when you're spending time outdoors. We carry a spray tan-safe sunscreen so you can protect your skin without compromising your glow.

Your Tanoholix Aftercare Routine

If you want to get the most out of your spray tan, keep it simple:

Exfoliate before your next appointment.
Moisturize regularly to keep your skin hydrated.
Use Tan Extend when you first notice your color starting to fade.
Refresh your face with Tan Water as needed.
Use spray tan-safe products in the shower.
Always wear SPF when you're exposed to the sun.

Your spray tan is an investment, so taking care of it at home is the best way to get the most out of every appointment.

All of our recommended spray tan aftercare products are available at Tanoholix. If you're not sure which products are right for you, ask us at your next appointment and we'll help you find the best routine for your skin and your tan.
