A good quality spray tan will last up to a week, though it does vary according to your skin regime and the depth of the spray tan you opt for. A light bronze can fade in around 5 days, while a darker shade will stay put for a good week. However, there are so many things that you can do to make your spray tan last!

Shower in lukewarm water. Moisturize 2x/day.

When it comes to washing off your spray tan, shower under lukewarm water and avoid using scrubs or soaps, as these can fade your tan. Simply rinse until the water runs clear.  

After that, avoid having long baths or showers and use gentle, sulfate-free shower creams. It will make such a difference to how long your spray tan lasts! 

Top Tip: In the hours between getting your spray tan and washing it off, wear black, loose–fitting clothes to avoid rubbing off your tan.  

Good spray tan prep involves less work than you may think! As with any tanning routine, a good base starts with regular exfoliation and keeping the skin moisturized.

• If you have time, start exfoliating every 2-3 days & moisturizing daily before to ensure skin is super hydrated
• Exfoliate with St.Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Polish or Tan Remover Mitt the day before for a fresh base
• Make sure that any hair removal is done 24 hours before your spray tan
• On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is free from moisture, deodorants and makeup
