Prep & Aftercare
How Long Does a Spray Tan Last?
The honest answer: it depends on your skin and your aftercare — but a professional tan should comfortably carry you through a week. The Specialists' Signature is a hydration-infused formula designed to deliver a radiant glow that endures for a week or more.
What decides how long your tan lasts
- Your skin's natural turnover — a spray tan lives in the top layer of skin, which gradually sheds.
- Prep: exfoliated, product-free skin takes color more evenly and holds it longer.
- Hydration: well-moisturized skin sheds more slowly, so color fades gracefully instead of patching.
- Lifestyle: long hot showers, chlorine, and heavy sweating all shorten a tan's life.
Why the Signature formula goes further
The Specialists' Signature is sweat-resistant and hydration-infused — crafted for active lifestyles. That combination means the color stands up better to workouts and daily life while keeping skin comfortable, which is exactly what helps a glow endure for a week or more.
How to land on the longer end
- Follow the full prep routine before your session.
- Rinse at the time your technician recommends — not earlier, not much later.
- Moisturize daily after your first rinse.
- Pat skin dry after showers instead of rubbing.
Common questions
Will my tan fade evenly?
With good prep and daily moisturizing, color fades gradually and evenly. Dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles can fade faster — keep them hydrated.
Does sweating ruin a spray tan?
Heavy sweating during the development window can streak color. After the first rinse, the Signature formula is sweat-resistant and built for active lifestyles.
