How Long will Spray Tan Last?

How long does a spray tan last?

A question I often hear from my clients at Sunkiss Airbrush By Alicia is, “How long will my spray tan last?” The longevity of a spray tan can vary based on several factors, but with the right care, you can enjoy your sun-kissed glow for up to 10 days.

Factors Affecting Spray Tan Longevity

1. Skin Preparation: Preparing your skin before your spray tan can significantly impact how long it lasts. Exfoliating with a professional body scrub, such as our legendary scrub designed for brides, ensures an even application and helps the tan adhere better to your skin.

2. Skin Type: Different skin types can affect how long the tan lasts. Drier skin types may see their tan fade more quickly compared to those with oilier skin.

3. Aftercare: Proper aftercare is crucial. Avoiding long, hot showers and moisturizing daily with a tan-friendly lotion will help maintain your tan longer. 

4. Activity Level: High levels of physical activity and sweating can cause your tan to fade more quickly. If you’re an avid gym-goer, you might notice your tan fading sooner.

5. Product Quality: At Sunkiss Airbrush By Alicia, we use high-quality, professional-grade tanning solutions that are designed to last longer and fade more naturally. Our ‘Soft Bronze’ solution is a client favorite for its natural and long-lasting results.

Tips to Extend Your Spray Tan

1. Pre-Tan Prep: Exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid applying any lotions, oils, or perfumes on the day of your tan.

2. Immediate Aftercare: Wait at least 8 hours before showering to allow the tan to fully develop. Use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing your skin.

3. Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin moisturized with a tan-friendly moisturizer. Hydrated skin holds a tan longer and fades more evenly.

4. Avoid Chlorine and Salt Water: Both chlorine and salt water can strip away your tan faster. If you’re planning to swim, try to minimize exposure or rinse off immediately afterward.

5. Pat Dry, Don’t Rub: After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it, which can cause your tan to fade unevenly.
