Extending the Life of Your Tan

To keep your tan fresh, moisturize daily and gently exfoliate every few days. Avoid long, hot showers and chlorinated pools if you want to extend the life of your tan, as these can accelerate fading.

Safety Tips and Considerations

Protecting Your Skin

Safety comes first! Always choose tanning products that are kind to your skin. For that, you need to have a clear idea about your skin type and skin sensitivity.  Avoid harsh chemicals and go for options that have skin-protecting ingredients. Your future self will thank you.

What is the perfect time to apply tanning products?

Timing is everything. Tan in the evening to allow your color to develop overnight to get the perfect tan. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on your skin before you go for full application. If it doesn’t go wrong, go for it. It is an indication that they’re a good match.

The Role of Sun Protection in Tanned Skin

A common myth is that tanned skin doesn’t need sunscreen. However, skin protection from UV damage is important, regardless of skin color. Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily to safeguard your tan and your skin’s health.
