Achieving that perfect golden glow is only the first step in your clients' spray tan journey. Educating them on proper aftercare is essential for maintaining their tan and ensuring that they leave your salon as satisfied repeat customers.
So, what are the must-know tips that your clients should follow to extend the life of their spray tan? First and foremost, emphasize the importance of moisturizing. Hydration is key to keeping the skin supple and preventing premature fading. Encourage them to use high-quality moisturizers, such as those found in our Professional Sunless Tanning Products collection.
Another essential aftercare tip is to avoid harsh exfoliants and long, hot showers. This will help preserve the tan's evenness and longevity. Be sure to recommend post-tan maintenance products, like those found in our Pre & Post-Waxing Products collection, which are also ideal for spray tan aftercare.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
Moisturizing is the magic word when it comes to maintaining a spray tan. Tans fade faster on dry skin, so regular application of a hydrating lotion can make all the difference. Advise clients to use a product that's free of alcohol and fragrances, as these ingredients can strip the tan.
Avoid Water (For Now!)
Water is a major factor in how long a spray tan lasts. Let your clients know they should avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and even sweating for at least 24 hours after the spray tan. The chlorine in pools can quickly fade a tan, and excessive sweating can cause streaks.
