Spray Tan Aftercare
By CoCo Esthetic’s
Glow now. Glow later. Here’s how to make your tan last!
You’ve got your glow — now let’s keep it flawless for as long as possible! Follow these easy aftercare steps:
1. Let It Set
Avoid showering, sweating, swimming, or getting wet for at least 8–12 hours (or as advised, if you had a rapid-rinse formula).
Do not touch or rub your skin while it’s developing.
2. First Rinse Only — No Soap
Your first shower should be a lukewarm rinse only — no soap, shaving, or scrubbing.
You’ll see bronzer wash off — that’s normal! The tan continues to develop underneath.
3. Stay Moisturized
Hydrate your skin daily with an oil-free lotion or moisturizer.
Moisturized skin = longer-lasting tan and even fading.
Avoid products with alcohol, retinol, or fragrance
4. No Exfoliation or Harsh Products
Avoid exfoliating, waxing, or shaving for a few days.
Skip body washes with sulfates or exfoliating beads.
5. Avoid Chlorine & Long Soaks
Limit time in pools, hot tubs, saunas, and long baths, which can fade your tan faster.
6. No Tanning Beds or Excess Sun
• Spray tans do not protect against UV rays. Always wear SPF!
Tanning beds + spray tans = uneven fading and skin damage.
