It All Begins With Thorough Exfoliation
Before your spray tanning session arrives, your priority should be to exfoliate. It is important to have fresh skin for the spray tanning agent to adhere to. Exfoliated skin holds on to spray tanning color much longer than skin that has not been exfoliated. Don’t be too harsh though; exfoliate gently but thoroughly over your entire body, or where you wish to be sprayed. Begin your exfoliation process a day or two before your spray tanning appointment for best results. A simple loofah and mild body wash will do, however you can also purchase different exfoliation tools, such as gloves and sponges.
After Your Spray Tanning Session
After your spray tan, please wait at least 6 to 12 hours to take a shower, bathe, or swim. You might think you look too dark, but that is just the tanning agent. You need to give the tanner time to develop, which usually takes up to half a day on average. Once you do shower or bathe, avoid exfoliating. Instead of the loofah, if that’s your go to tool, use a soft sponge or washcloth to cleanse your skin.
But the real keys to achieving the ultimate spray tanning results are to prepare your skin before your session, and then treat your skin after your session. After your spray tanning appointment, it is vital that you thoroughly moisturize your whole body, head to toe, every morning and evening; yes, twice a day, especially after bathing or swimming, as water dries out your skin even more.
Be sure to use a quality body moisturizer that is compatible with your skin type. You might want to also consider choosing a lotion that contains vital nutrients and essential oils to promote anti-aging preventative maintenance and sun protection. If you really want a little added boost of color, look for moisturizer that contains DHA.
