7 Secrets to a Long-Lasting Spray Tan (Even in Dry Fall Weather)

A fresh spray tan can feel like magic, but nothing’s more frustrating than watching it fade too quickly. Fall weather can be especially tough—dry air and cozy layers aren’t exactly tan-friendly. The good news? With the right care, your glow can last much longer than you think.

At BodiBronze, we’ve perfected the art of the long-lasting spray tan, and today we’re sharing our top secrets with you.

Secret 1: Prep Skin Properly Before Your Appointment

The foundation for a lasting tan starts before you step into the booth.

  • Exfoliate 24 hours in advance to remove dead skin.

  • Avoid heavy lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on the day of your appointment.

  • Come in with clean, dry skin for the smoothest application.


Secret 2: Choose the Right Shade for Your Skin Tone

Going too dark might look good for a day, but it fades unevenly. At BodiBronze, we customize your shade to suit your skin tone and goals. The result: a tan that looks natural and lasts longer.

Secret 3: Time Your Showers Strategically

Water is a tan’s worst enemy when applied too soon.

  • Wait at least 8 hours before showering.

  • When you do shower, keep it short and lukewarm.

  • Avoid scrubbing or shaving right away.


Secret 4: Moisturize Daily (the Tan-Safe Way)

Dry fall air will suck the life out of your tan if you’re not careful.

  • Use a tan-safe moisturizer that’s oil-free and fragrance-free.

  • Apply it daily, especially after showers.

  • Think of it as feeding your tan—it needs hydration to thrive.


Secret 5: Be Gentle With Your Skin

Harsh treatment equals faster fading.

  • Skip loofahs and strong scrubs.

  • Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing.

  • Stick to soft fabrics when possible.


Secret 6: Watch Out for Hidden Faders

A few sneaky culprits can shorten your glow:

  • Chlorine and saltwater strip tans.

  • Excess sweating (think saunas or intense workouts) can fade color.

  • Body oils and oil-based makeup removers are tan-killers.

The real secret to always glowing? Consistency.

  • Most spray tans look best with weekly or bi-weekly upkeep.

  • Memberships make it easy to stay on schedule.

  • Pre-booking ensures you’re never caught off guard before an event.
