If you are one of the thousands of people who love having spray tans, here are some Things you didn’t know about spray tan ;
Wait 12hr after shaving – It is logical to shave before having a spray tan. But when you shave you are also exfoliating the skin exposing sensitive new skin cells that can be irritated by the spray. DHA is the pigment in the spray tan and can cause redness and discomfort once the chemical interacts with exposed cells. It is a good idea to wait 12 to 24 hours after shaving to have a spray tan treatment this gives the skin time to repair its self and not be irritated.
Spray Tans are not a base for sun bathing
It is a myth that fake tan, whether that is spray tan or self tan will prevent your skin from burning in the sun. Spray tans give the appearance of being tanned but it has absolutely no effect on the melanin in your skin. So there fore you will still burn without suncream on.

Avoid sugar scrubs
To achieve a nice and even glow from spray tans one of the best tips is to exfoliate the skin. By removing the old skin cells, you get a more even surface for the spray tan to adhere to. However be careful when choosing the scrub. Sugar scrubs can be detrimental to how the the spray tan turns out because it can cause the spray to streak. Scrubs with sugar have oils in them that will cause the spray to run off instead of adhering to the skin. It is suggested that you use an exfoliating mitt to remove skin cells do not use any at the end of the process. Dry skin works better for most spray tan formulas.
Limit the body butter
Keeping the skin thoroughly moisturised is always a great way of prolonging life of a spray tan. But avoid heavy body creams as they can cause fading of the spray tan. A lightweight body lotion or butter will keep the skin moisturised without fading the tan.
You can’t top up a spray tan
Spray tans are not like when you colour your hair. It is not a good idea to try and touch up your spray tan. If you add a fresh coat of spray tan on top of an old coat, the colouring will look blotchy with dark and light areas. It is always best to wait for the old spray tan to fade away and then have a new spray tan if so desired.
How long spray tans last
How long will my spray tan last?I s a common question t he length a spray tan will last is determined by how quickly cells turnover. Cell turnover is faster in younger people and will cause the tan to fade quicker. This is a law of nature and there is nothing that can be done about it.Which is why we say between 7 – 10 days.
Spot treatments
The chemicals in certain acne treatments can take off the spray tan, leaving odd white marks. It’s best to just skip the acne treatment while your spray tan lasts.
Staying in pool
Chlorine in pools has a detrimental effect on the spray tan solutions. Spending a short time in the pool will not ruin your spray tan, but long times spent in chlorine will strip the solution from the skin. If you are going to swim while spray tanned, it is suggested that you utilize quick dips in the pool, and pat the skin dry immediately after leaving the water.
