Spray Tan Friendly Lotions & Body Washes

The products you use between tans matter!

Want your spray tan to last longer and fade more evenly? Keeping your skin hydrated is key. The right lotion and body wash can make a difference in how your tan wears throughout the week.

My Favorite Lotions

I recommend using a daily moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and help your tan fade evenly. Look for lightweight, nourishing formulas without mineral oil or heavy fragrance.

A few of my favorites:

  • CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion – A great everyday option that helps keep your skin hydrated without feeling overly heavy.

  • Kiehl’s Creme de Corps – A rich, moisturizing body lotion that’s great for keeping your skin soft and hydrated.

My Favorite Body Washes

Choose a gentle body wash that cleans your skin without leaving it feeling stripped or dry. Avoid harsh exfoliating washes, body scrubs, and products with oils or ingredients that may interfere with your tan.

A few of my favorites:

  • Native Body Wash – A great everyday option with lots of scent choices. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, look for a fragrance-free option when available.

  • Method Body Wash – Another great option for your daily shower routine. Choose a formula that works for your skin and avoid anything that leaves your skin feeling dry.

Ingredients to Watch For

To help your spray tan last as long as possible, I recommend avoiding:

  • Mineral oil and heavy oils that can contribute to uneven fading or buildup on the skin.

  • Heavy fragrance if your skin is sensitive or easily irritated.

  • Harsh exfoliants and body scrubs while your tan is developing and throughout its wear.

  • Drying soaps and cleansers that can leave your skin dehydrated.

The bottom line: Hydrated skin = a happier spray tan! Stick to gentle cleansing, moisturize daily, and avoid exfoliating until you're ready to remove your tan and prep for your next appointment.

🌴 The Vacation Glow Guide

Taking your tan on a trip? Whether you're poolside or beach-bound, follow these rules to keep your glow looking fresh from takeoff to the flight home.

🌊 The Water Rule: "Dip, Don't Soak"

Chlorine and salt water are natural exfoliants. To prevent an early fade:

  • Keep it short: Enjoy the water, but try to keep swims to 10–15 minutes.

  • Rinse ASAP: As soon as you get out of the pool or ocean, rinse off with fresh water to remove salt and chemicals.

🧴 SPF: Choose Your Armor Wisely

Not all sunscreens are tan-friendly. Avoid aerosol sprays and oils, as the alcohol content will strip your tan in seconds.

  • Our Favs: Stick to lotion-based formulas like Sun Bum or Vacation Brand. They smell like a dream and won't compromise your color.

  • Pat, Don’t Rub: When applying, gently smooth the lotion over your skin.

✨ The Mid-Trip Refresh (The Day 4 Rule)

Around Day 4, or as soon as you notice your tan starting to dip, it’s time for a boost.

  • The Secret Weapon: Pack a self-tanner to keep the momentum going. We highly recommend Dolce Glow to touch up your face, hands, or any areas where the sun and sand have started to win. It blends seamlessly with your professional glow.

🏖️ Sand & Towels

  • Pat Dry: When drying off, always pat your skin gently. Friction is the enemy of an even fade.

  • Chair Life: Sand is a natural exfoliant. Lounging directly in it will scrub your tan off, so keep a soft towel between you and the beach.
