Best Soaps and Body Wash

One of the most important factors in making your tan last is the type of soap or body wash you use.  There are certain ingredients used that can be harmful to a spray tan because either they rub the tan off, or they cause your skin to exfoliate faster.

There are a number of things to avoid while you have a tan. These ingredients can cause the tan to come off immediately, or they can at least speed up the exfoliation process causing the tan to come off quicker than it would otherwise.

Here are some ingredients and types of products to avoid while you have a spray tan:

• Mineral oil
• Fragrances
• Most essential oil
• Anti-aging products
• Toners
• Hair removal products
• Retin-a
• Make-up removal products

This is not by any means an all inclusive list, but these are some of the types of products and ingredients we recommend for people to avoid.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about the types of products and ingredients that we want to use after a spray tan. Remember, keeping your skin moisturized is key, but what you use is just as important.  We want to look for the following products or ingredients:  

• Shea butter 
• Fragrance-free 
• Oil-free Aloe-vera 
• Coconut oil
