Spray Tan Port Macquarie: 7 Tips to Make Your Glow Last Longer

There’s nothing better than that fresh spray tan feeling. ✨

And with spring just around the corner in Port Macquarie, the dresses, shorts and warmer weekends aren’t far away either.

The good news? A few simple changes before and after your appointment can help your spray tan stay even, fade beautifully and keep that fresh Bronzed glow around for longer.

Here are our 7 go-to tips.

1. Exfoliate the day before

Good tan starts with good prep.

Exfoliate around 24 hours before your appointment to remove dry and dead skin, paying extra attention to elbows, knees, ankles and anywhere your skin tends to be a little drier.

Try not to exfoliate immediately before your appointment. Giving your skin time to settle helps create a smoother base for your tan.

2. Arrive with clean, product-free skin

On tan day, keep things simple.

Avoid moisturiser, deodorant, perfume, body oils and other products before your appointment. They can create a barrier between your skin and your tan and affect how evenly it develops.

Clean, dry skin = happy tan.

3. Wear loose, dark clothing afterwards

This is not the time for your favourite white activewear.

Loose, dark clothing is your best friend while your tan develops. Think oversized tee, loose pants, comfy dress and slides.

The less rubbing against your freshly tanned skin, the better.

4. Follow your rinse time

This one's important!

Your recommended rinse time will depend on the tan we've used and the depth of colour you're after, so follow the rinse instructions you're given at your appointment.

Rinsing too early can mean your colour doesn't fully develop. Leaving certain tans on longer doesn't necessarily mean you'll get darker either.

Trust the process!

5. Keep those showers quick

Once your tan has developed, long hot showers and baths can make it fade faster.

Keep showers on the shorter side, avoid super-hot water and gently pat yourself dry rather than rubbing your skin with your towel.

Your tan will thank you.

6. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise

If there's one aftercare habit worth keeping, it's this one.

Keeping your skin hydrated helps your tan stay smoother and fade more evenly. Moisturise daily, particularly after showering, and give naturally dry areas a little extra attention.

7. Be kind to your tan

Swimming, sweating, exfoliating, shaving and long beach days can all shorten the life of a spray tan.

We're definitely not suggesting you avoid enjoying a Port Macquarie spring weekend! Just remember that the more your skin is exposed to water, friction and exfoliation, the faster your colour may fade.

A little aftercare goes a long way.
