Top Tips for Maintaining Your Tan Throughout the Week

Maintaining a tan, whether natural or from self-tanning products, requires specific care and attention to ensure it lasts throughout the week. Here are the top tips for keeping that sun-kissed glow lasting longer:

Daily moisturising

Importance: Moisturising is key to prolonging the life of your tan. It helps to keep the skin hydrated, preventing peeling and patchiness.

Tip: Use a hydrating moisturiser. Apply it daily and generously to all tanned areas.

Gentle exfoliation

Purpose: Light exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells evenly, preventing patchiness.

Method: Use a soft loofah or a mild exfoliating product a couple of days after tanning. Be gentle to avoid scrubbing off the tan.

Touching up with self-taNNER

Technique: Using a self-tanner for touch-ups can help maintain an even tone throughout the week. Applying tanning drops to your favourite moisturiser can keep your tan gradually building for longer.

Tip: Choose a self-tanner that matches your current tan. Apply it lightly to areas that fade faster, like your face and hands.

Staying hydrated

Impact: Hydration isn’t just about topical moisturisers. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and glow.

Tip: Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water daily.

Wearing loose clothing

Reason: Tight clothing can rub against your skin and cause the tan to wear off unevenly.

 Advice: Opt for loose, comfortable clothing, especially just after applying a self-tanner or after sunbathing.

Using tan extenders

Product choice: There are products specifically designed to extend the life of your tan.

Application: Use these extenders as directed, usually a few days after tanning.

Maintaining a tan requires proper skin care and avoiding certain habits that can cause premature fading. By following these tips, you can enjoy a lasting, even tan that keeps you looking sun-kissed all week. Remember, the key is gentle care and consistent maintenance of your tanned skin.View our range of sunless tanning products that can help keep your tan topped up all week.
