POST-TAN CARE

PRODUCT RECS

Post-tan care is up to YOU. A properly maintained spray tan can last 7–10 days, but only if you treat your skin right. Hydrated skin leads to slower cell turnover and longer-lasting color.

  • Drink water & green tea

  • Moisturize daily (starting 24 hrs after your tan)

  • Skip long hot showers & harsh exfoliants

These are my go-to products to help you keep the glow going:

MOISTURIZERs

Avoid harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and fragrances, as they can strip the tan. Look for gentle, hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and shea butter. 

Use: HEMPZ, Aveeno Daily Moisturizer, SheaMoisture, Cetaphil, CeraVe, Alba Botanica, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

sunscreen

Look for oil-free, alcohol-free and mineral based products. Steer clear of aerosol spray sunscreens.

Use: Supergoop, COOLA, Sunbum, Alba, Kiehls

body wash

Stay away from products containing mineral oil, high fragrance, or ingredients like Dove. No bar soap!

Use: Native, Method, Aveeno, HEMPZ, Cetaphil, CeraVe,

tan removal

Soak in the tub to soften the skin and break down the DHA from your tan. Use an exfoliating mitt to scrub off the remainder of your tan.

Use: Korean Body scrub mitts, washcloths, oil-based products, specially formulated tan removers
