Can i exfoliate after a spray tan

Last edited: Mar 23, I always tell them to exfoliate prior to tanning-not that all of them listen I was just browsing the internet and see a lot of places say to exfoliate every other day so i was just being nosey and seeing what different people on here tell their clients.

Got my husband to spray tan me yesterday and i haven't washed the guide off yet dirty woman! Am in the middle of my housework so will do it after! I will have a go at not exfoliating now you have said that and see how it goes. I always moisturise twice a day after a tan. SunSpray Well-Known Member. On my training Fake Bake we were told to advise clients to exfoliate 4 or 5 days after the spray tan, to assist with even fading, and also to ensure the skin is in tip-top condition for the next spray tan Whether they actually take any notice is anyone's guess!

I tell my clients and learners to exfoliate the night before the tan and then lightly exfoliate again after 5 days. There had to be a secret. Tropez—to figure out the key to the flawless faux tan. If you choose to shave, you should do so beforehand, though not immediately before. She also advises that you use new razor blades, to avoid having your tan fade unevenly.

Pradas and Evans agree that exfoliating prior to your tan is one of the most important ways to help your tan last and look its best. Remember not to wear anything on your skin for your tanning appointment. You should plan to strip down, at least mostly. A good spray tan tech will always offer you disposable underwear if you want to guarantee your precious smalls stay perfect. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing.

There are a few important tidbits you should tell your spray tan expert. According to Evans, it is also necessary to tell your artist if you are pregnant, in which case you should consult your doctor. If you get the go-ahead, have your artist do a patch test on your skin, as you may be more sensitive than usual.

You need to be a bit careful after your spray tan, as the tan can take up to twelve hours to develop, depending on what kind of solution was used. Despite the self-tanning myths of the past, you don't have to be hairless from the forehead down to get a spray tan. Spray tans will test your patience. Most traditional self-tanners work best when left to develop overnight. At max, you'll have to wait about eight hours before rinsing off the guide color coating your entire body.

Why wait so long? Evans notes that sleeping in your fake tan ensures a longer-lasting, richer glow. Of course, if you opt for an express self-tanner instead, you'll only have to wait one to three hours until rinsing; even after you shower, your tan will continue to grow darker and darker as it develops. The biggest bummer about getting a spray tan is that you have to adjust — or fully sacrifice — your usual skin-care regimen.

Unfortunately, most of the topicals you probably use think: oils, petroleum-based balms, and chemical exfoliants will only erode your fake tan faster. If you regularly struggle with breakouts, you may also want to consider foregoing tanning your face altogether: Acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and medications like Accutane may dehydrate your skin, causing your tan to look patchy and dry.

Don't want to give up your beloved routine for a healthy glow? Thanks Sharni. Try first of all to keep your skin moisturised as much as possible and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated,this will reduce the scaley effect massivley. Then when you need to start exfoliating which is normally after a week do it on a daily basis with mits, this will bring it off after a couple of days.

We stock the sienna raqnge that consists of all the washes, moisturisers, to reduce scaling then an exfoliater polish that remolves the tan and can be used daily. I do Fake Bake Spray Tanning, we advice clients to exfoliate proir to the tan and then approx 4 - 7 days after the tan to help the tan fade evenly. Hi there, never exfoliate immediately after a spray tan. You need to make sure your skin is in tip top condition before you receive your spray tan, so exfoliate and moisturise regularly the week leading up to it.

The skin only goes scaley when you don't moisturise regularly twice a day after your spray tan. Always use oil free moisturiser to prolong the life of a tan. A good spray tanning salon will advise you and provide you with tips on how to prepare for and look after your tan. Hi, it really depends what else you are doing Hi it depends which brand of spray you have had.

I use Su-do and i recommend that after approx 5 days you should exfoliate to stop the scaly effect. However, you should also be moisturising at least once a day up until that point to help keep the tan at its best.
