How long will my spray tan last?

A naked tan spray tan lasts 7-10 days, then gradually and evenly fades as your skinf naturally exfoliates. Our fine spray technology ensures you get a flawless coverage, that fades away evenly. It is essential to take good care of your tan by taking the right measures;

To extend the life of your spray tan, consider the following tips:

1. Exfoliate before getting the spray tan: This helps to remove dead skin cells and creates a smooth surface for the spray tan to adhere to.

2. Moisturize regularly: Hydrated skin tends to hold onto a tan better. Use a moisturizer daily to keep your skin hydrated.

3. Avoid activities that may cause sweating: Sweating can cause the tan to fade more quickly. Try to avoid activities that make you sweat excessively, especially in the first few hours after getting a spray tan.

4. Take short showers with lukewarm water: Hot water and long showers can accelerate the fading of the tan, so opt for shorter showers with lukewarm water.

5. Pat your skin dry after showering: Instead of rubbing your skin with a towel, gently pat it dry to help preserve the tan.

6. Avoid harsh exfoliants: Skip harsh exfoliating products or treatments, as they can strip away the top layer of your skin and take the tan with it.

Remember that individual results may vary, and the lifespan of a spray tan can be influenced by factors unique to each person. Following these tips can help you maintain a more long-lasting and even spray tan.

Will i get the colour that suits my skin tone?

Yes, you can definitely choose a spray tan color that complements your natural skin tone. A skilled spray tan technician can help you select the right shade based on your preferences and skin undertones. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Fair Skin Tones:

   • Opt for a light to medium tan to achieve a subtle, sun-kissed look without appearing too dark.

2. Medium Skin Tones:

   • You have more flexibility and can choose a medium to dark tan for a richer color.

3. Olive or Warm Skin Tones:

   • Darker tan shades often work well for individuals with olive or warm skin tones.

4. Dark Skin Tones:

   • Consider a deep tan for a bronzed effect without looking too unnatural.

It's essential to communicate your preferences and concerns with the spray tan technician, as they can customize the solution to achieve the desired outcome. Additionally, many spray tan solutions come in various undertones, such as cool, neutral, or warm. Choosing an undertone that complements your natural skin undertones can enhance the overall result.

Before getting a spray tan, you may also want to do a patch test to ensure that the chosen color will blend well with your skin tone. Keep in mind that the color may develop and change slightly in the hours following the application, so it's a good idea to discuss the expected outcome with your technician and follow any post-tan care instructions they provide.

Will my spray tan transfer to my whites and sheets?

Yes, a spray tan can potentially transfer onto white sheets or clothing, especially in the first few hours after application. The tan solution often contains bronzing agents that give an immediate tint to the skin, and these can transfer until the excess solution is washed off during the first shower.

To minimize the risk of transfer, consider the following tips:

1. Wait before dressing: Allow sufficient time for the spray tan to dry before putting on tight-fitting clothing or getting into bed. The drying time can vary depending on the specific product used, but it's typically recommended to wait at least a few hours.

2. Wear loose, dark clothing initially: Loose, dark clothing can help minimize contact between the tan and fabric, reducing the likelihood of transfer.

3. Use old sheets or dark-colored sheets: If you're concerned about your sheets, consider using old or dark-colored sheets in the first night or two after getting a spray tan.

4. Avoid excessive sweating: Sweating can accelerate the fading of the tan and increase the likelihood of transfer, so try to avoid activities that may cause you to sweat excessively, especially in the first few hours after the spray tan.

It's important to follow any specific instructions provided by the spray tan technician or the product manufacturer regarding post-tan care to achieve the best and longest-lasting results while minimizing the risk of transfer.

Will my tan go streaky or patchy?

The potential for a spray tan to go streaky or patchy depends on various factors, including the quality of the spray tan solution, the application technique, and how well you follow pre and post-tan care instructions. Here are some tips to help prevent streaks and patches:

1. Exfoliate before the tan: Proper exfoliation removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth surface for the spray tan to adhere to. This can help ensure an even application.

2. Moisturize dry areas: Pay special attention to areas with dry skin, such as elbows, knees, and ankles. Apply a moisturizer to these areas before getting a spray tan to prevent the tan from clinging to dry patches.

3. Follow application instructions: If you're using a self-tanning spray at home, follow the application instructions carefully. Holding the spray at the recommended distance and using even, sweeping motions can help achieve an even tan.

4. Allow proper drying time: After a spray tan, it's crucial to allow sufficient time for the solution to dry before coming into contact with water or clothing. This can vary depending on the specific product used, so follow the recommendations provided.

5. Avoid tight clothing: Tight clothing can rub against the skin and potentially cause streaking. Wear loose, dark clothing after the application to minimize contact with the tan.

6. Avoid excessive sweating: Sweating, especially in the first few hours after the spray tan, can lead to uneven fading. Try to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating during this period.

7. Pat, don't rub, when drying off: After your first shower following the spray tan, be gentle when drying your skin. Patting your skin dry instead of rubbing can help maintain an even tan.

If you're getting a spray tan at a salon, a skilled technician should be able to apply the tan evenly, but it's also essential to follow their aftercare instructions for the best results. If you're doing a self-tan at home, take your time and follow the product guidelines to minimize the risk of streaks and patches.
