A well-maintained spray tan can last up to a week with the proper care.
The key is to care for your colour with a regular moisturising routine and invest in clever top-up tanners that are brilliant for rejuvenating a fading glow.
If you’re smart enough you’ll be able to seamlessly move onto a fresh application of tanner without your golden glow looking patchy and uneven in the run up.
Moisturise daily
Dry skin is the arch enemy of spray tan. The drier your skin, the quicker your skin cells will flake off and take your tan away with them. Boost the lifespan of your tan by moisturising everyday to nourish, soften and brighten your skin. Grab a Prolong Tan Extending Balm Sachet to make the most of your tan with a subtle illuminating sheen. In the summer moisturise as often as you can or perhaps switch to a moisturising shower gel, fast-absorbing oil or a nourishing bath product that moisturises while you have a quick soak. In the winter months it's easy to remember to moisturise daily when your parched skin is crying out for some hydrating lotion.
Avoid long showers and pools
Hot water, chlorine in swimming pools and steam rooms can strip off your tan prematurely.
Go for short showers in warm water and quick dips to guarantee your colour lasts for that all important extra day or two. If your heading to the beach over the summer, slather on waterproof sunscreen to protect your tan and safeguard your skin from the damaging effects of UV rays.
Make use of top-up tanning products
It’s tricky to avoid your tan fading faster in some areas than others. Your hands and face come into contact with ‘tan-strippers’ like water, soap and cleansers more often than the rest of your body. When your tan begins to fade and starts to look uneven, top up your colour with 1 Hour Self Tan Tinted Mist to prolong the life of your tan.
Exfoliate a day before your treatment
Remember to exfoliate a day before the next time you tan to prep your skin. A quick exfoliation will remove dead skin cells, ensuring that your tanner is applied to fresh cells with a longer life cycle. It will also remove any signs of a previous fading tan so your tanner can glide on effortlessly and look even from top to toe. It is all in the preparation - Prepare Exfoliating+Priming Scrub Sachet removes impurities with the finest pumice, for a gentle yet effective exfoliation. Infused with moisturising Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter, it leaves skin feeling super soft and hydrated.
