How Long After Getting A Spray Tan Can You Shower?

Your spray tan care is important to maintain your bronzed glow. Before you enter the studio, you take care of your tan, and it goes past your tan. After a spray tan, one of the most common questions is “when should I have a shower?. We recommend that you wait at least 4-8 hours before your first shower, but do not wait longer than 24 hours after your spray tan. If, after a spray tan, you shower for the first time, you’ll probably see golden glow wash off the drain, don’t worry! When you go out, you will always look bronzed. This is just one unnecessary extra solution washing off your skin.

It is also best to stay away from all moisture. This includes sweating, moisturizing your skin, placing liquid bases or anything else that could get your tan wet. These first few hours are extremely important as your tan develops, and the solution may not be properly applied to by any excess humidity.

Washing Hair After Spray Tan

Many are surprised when after a tanning session they are told to shower / wash their hair. Your main concern is that your hair washing and showering will affect your tan spray.

Here Are Easy Hair Wash Tips After Your Spray.

• Wait for washing. Before washing your hair, wait 24 hours. This allows your tan to develop and set up completely.
• Simply rinse it. Don’t let your fresh tan run through the shower, shampoo and conditioner. When you wash and rinse your hair, lean over so it does not lead to streaks of soap or uneven areas in your skin.
• Choose a shampoo that fits your hair without any sulfates. Use the Free Shampoo and Conditioner for sulfates and paraben. These products are milder on your hair and skin and will not tear hair or brandy.
• Bun up your hair. Do not allow your moist hair to be placed on your skin if your hair is long with a conditioner while you are waiting to absorb the packer. Bun your hair to a clip until the hair is rinsed out.
• Shower, don’t soak. Don’t wash your hair as long as you take a bath. Sitting in the bathroom with the soap and the conditioner in the water creates strings, and a patchy fade as your fresh tan soaks through the whole soap leaves your skin residues. Showers are a clean clean rinse option.

Shampoo and Conditioner Ingredients that are bad for your spray tan:

When you wear your sunless tan, keep these ingredients off your skin ensuring the bronzing glow lasts as much time and fades smoothly as possible.
