Here are some helpful tips for maintaining your Spring time spray tan!
- Do not shower, bathe or swim for six to eight hours after your tan has been applied
- When showering or bathing it is normal for some of the initial bronzer/makeup to wash off
- Avoid pools and jacuzzis that contain chlorine (this can remove or shorten the longevity of your tan)
- Avoid excessive exfoliation and intense exercising
- Staying hydrated by drinking water (electrolyte and coconut) is essential for good skin health and maintaining that golden glow
- Moisturize twice daily directly after showering to extend the life of your tan
Here are a few of my favorite super-hydrating products to help maintain your tan:
- Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($20-$45), which uses an extract of Brazil’s native Guaraná plant to soften skin
- Vita Liberta’s “Fabulous” self tanning lotion ($30), which uses aloe vera & shea butter adding a golden glow to your already natural and organic tan
- Alba Botanica’s original “very emollient” body lotion ($15) provides 100% daily hydration and is hypo-allergenic, perfect for an all body lotion that absorbs quickly, with no greasy residue
