Hi Tan Babes!
We’ve already covered how to prep for your airbrush tan—now let’s talk about how to maintain that gorgeous glow, shall we?
When properly cared for, a high-quality airbrush tan can last 7–10 days. Here are some insider tips to help you keep your golden radiance going strong:
✨ After Tan Appointment:
- Wait 8–12 hours before showering to allow your tan to fully develop. For best results, wait a full 24 hours.
- Avoid lotions or oils during this development window—they can cause streaking.
- Skip workouts or anything that makes you sweat until after your first rinse. (Hey, it’s the perfect excuse for a rest day!)
🚿 Your First Shower After Tan:
- Use lukewarm water only—no soap, no shaving, no sponges. Just a gentle rinse.
- Pat dry with a towel—don’t rub!
- Don’t panic if you see color washing off—it’s just the cosmetic bronzer, not your actual tan.
💧 After Your First Shower:
- You can now shave and use soap, but avoid:
- Bar soaps
- BHA/AHA products
- Toners or anything with high alcohol content
- Moisturize daily with a water-based lotion to keep your skin hydrated and your tan looking fresh.
- Drink plenty of water! Hydrated skin = a smoother, longer-lasting tan.
🛁 A Few More Tips:
- Avoid hot tubs, pools, and long baths—they’ll fade your tan faster.
- Skip the scrubs and loofahs—they exfoliate your tan right off.
- Watch out for products with alcohol or mineral oil—they’ll strip your tan. Use a high-quality moisturizer designed to extend your glow, like our upcoming Evolv Daily Glo Moisturizer (coming soon!).
☀️ Important Reminder:
An airbrush tan does not provide sun protection. Always apply sunscreen to protect your skin and keep that golden glow safe!
