Post-treatment

Once your spray tan has developed, rinse your skin thoroughly with only lukewarm water and moisturise your skin using an oil-free product. Thereafter, opt for quick, lukewarm showers applying a gentle shower gel only in the areas you need to using your hands- no scrunchies or mitts. Ensure that you are pat drying your skin using a soft towel to avoid rubbing/friction. Ideally, moisturise morning and evening using an oil-free product to lock your spray tan, or at least once a day to prevent the top layer of your skin from scaling. Ditch all Dove products! the most common spray tan friendly products are Sanex shower gel and Aveeno daily moisturiser. If possible, opt for low interval workouts to avoid excessive sweating. Do not use the steam room, sauna and jacuzzi to maintain your spray tan for up to seven days. If you plan on swimming, apply a water-resistant sunscreen before taking short dips in the pool/sea. Rinse your skin with cold water once you're done with your swim and re-apply your oil-free moisturiser when needed.
