Your Glow Guide: How to Care for Your Eco Tan Spray Tan ✨

Congratulations on your fresh glow, beautiful!
Now that you’ve been kissed by our Eco Tan magic, it’s time to help your tan develop evenly, last longer, and fade beautifully.

At Self Love Lounge, we believe your spray tan is more than just colour, it’s a confidence ritual, a moment to feel radiant in your own skin. Follow this simple aftercare guide to keep your glow looking flawless from day one to fade day.

🌙 Right After Your Appointment

1. Let your tan develop in peace.
Avoid showering, sweating, or getting wet during your tan’s development time (your therapist will let you know how long). This allows your colour to deepen evenly.

2. Loose is best.
Slip into loose, dark clothing and avoid tight straps, waistbands, or anything that might rub your skin while your tan is developing.

3. Hands off.
Try not to touch your skin while your tan is processing and if you do, give your palms a quick rinse to avoid staining.

💧 After Your First Rinse

1. Rinse, don’t scrub.
When your development time is up, jump in the shower and rinse with lukewarm water only, no soaps, no scrubbing, just a gentle rinse until the water runs clear.

2. Pat, don’t rub.
After showering, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing to avoid uneven fading.

🌿 The Days That Follow

1. Moisturise daily.
Hydration is your tan’s best friend. Use a nourishing, natural moisturiser morning and night to lock in your glow and prevent patchiness. We love Coconut Body Milk from Eco By Sonia.

2. Avoid harsh products.
Skip any exfoliants, salt scrubs, retinols, and AHAs while you’re glowing as they’ll fade your tan faster.

3. Stay hydrated.
Drink plenty of water! Healthy, hydrated skin keeps your colour luminous and even.

4. Gentle fade.
When your tan begins to fade, use a gentle exfoliating mitt in the shower to help remove it evenly and prepare your skin for your next glow session.

☀️ Extra Tips for a Radiant Finish

• Swimming in chlorinated or salt water can shorten your tan’s lifespan, rinse off and moisturise with Eco Tan's Winter Skin or Invisible Tan after if you take a dip. These tanning products will prolong the life of your Eco Spray.

• Avoid applying perfume or deodorant directly onto your tan in the first 24 hours.

• Schedule your next tan 7–10 days apart for the perfect cycle of colour and care.

💛 Keep the Glow Going

Your tan is designed to enhance your natural beauty not mask it. With a little love and care, your Eco Tan will glow beautifully and fade gracefully.
