How long do spray tans last?

The duration of a spray tan can vary depending on several factors, including your skin type, how well you prepare and maintain your skin before and after the spray tan, and the quality of the spray tan solution used.

On average, a spray tan typically lasts between 5 to 10 days. During this time, the tan will gradually fade as your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells. To extend the lifespan of your spray tan, it's essential to moisturize your skin regularly and avoid activities that can cause excessive exfoliation, such as long baths, swimming in chlorinated pools, or scrubbing your skin aggressively.

Additionally, avoiding prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water, can help preserve your spray tan. Patting your skin dry instead of rubbing and using gentle, hydrating skincare products can also contribute to a longer-lasting tan.

Keep in mind that everyone's skin is different, and the longevity of a spray tan can vary from person to person. Following proper aftercare instructions provided by your tanning professional or the spray tan product manufacturer can help you maintain a beautiful, sun-kissed glow for as long as possible.
