When can I shower after my spray tan?

Follow the rinse time recommended by your technician (usually 8–12 hours, or sooner for rapid tans).
When rinsing:

• Use lukewarm water

• Do not use soap at the first rinse

• You will see bronzer wash off—this is normal!

When can I use soap?

You can use a gentle, sulfate-free body wash at your next full shower (typically 12–24 hours after your tan).

When can I moisturize?

Moisturize after your first rinse and daily after that. Hydrated skin = longer-lasting tan.
Use a tan-safe, oil-free lotion for best results.

How long will my spray tan last?

With proper care, your tan will last 7–10 days. Longevity depends on:

• Skin prep

• Moisturizing daily

• Avoiding long hot showers, pools, and exfoliation

Can I work out after my tan?

Avoid sweating, workouts, or heat until after your first rinse.
After that, you’re good to go—just moisturize daily. Ask us about our sweat resistant tan.

Can I swim or use a hot tub?

Wait 24 hours after your first rinse. Chlorine, salt water, and hot tubs can fade your tan faster, so limit exposure when possible. Ask us about our tan extender that helps lengthen your tan when swimming.

How should I shower to make my tan last longer?

• Keep showers short and lukewarm

• Avoid loofahs, washcloths, and scrubs

• Pat dry with a towel (don’t rub)

Can I shave after my tan?

Yes—wait 24 hours after your first rinse. Use a sharp razor and gentle shaving cream to avoid premature fading.

What products should I avoid?

Avoid:

• Exfoliating scrubs

• Retinol or acne products on the body

• Oil-based lotions

• Self-tanners layered over your spray tan

These can cause patchy fading.

My tan looks lighter after I showered—did it fade?

No worries! The bronzer washes off at the first rinse. Your true color develops fully over the next 24 hours.

How do I make my tan fade evenly?

Moisturize daily and avoid picking or excessive exfoliation. When ready to remove your tan, exfoliate gently after several days of moisturizing.
