Let’s be honest - juggling work, family, and a social life can leave you with zero time to get that perfect sun-kissed glow. But who says you need hours in the sun or expensive beach holidays to look radiant? Spray tans are the secret weapon for busy women who want to look fabulous without the fuss. I’m here to share my best spray tan tips.
Why Spray Tanning is a Game-Changer for Busy Women
Spray tanning is like a magic wand for your skin. It gives you that golden, healthy glow without the harmful UV rays. Plus, it’s quick, painless, and perfect for all skin types. Whether you’re a working mum rushing between meetings and school runs or a woman who just wants to look fresh and fabulous, spray tans save you time and effort.
Here’s why I’m obsessed with spray tans:
Instant confidence boost: Nothing like a tan to make you feel like a million bucks.
Safe and skin-friendly: No sun damage, no wrinkles, just a natural glow.
Customisable shades: From subtle bronze to deep caramel, you pick your vibe.
Long-lasting: A good spray tan can last up to 10 days with proper care.
So, if you want to ditch the patchy, streaky fake tan disasters and get a flawless finish, keep reading!
Best Spray Tan Tips for a Flawless Finish
Getting a spray tan isn’t just about showing up and hoping for the best. There’s a little prep and aftercare magic involved to make sure your tan looks natural and lasts longer. Here are my top tips to get the most out of your spray tan:
1. Prep Your Skin Like a Pro
Before your spray tan session, exfoliate your skin thoroughly. This removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth canvas for the tan to stick to. Use an exfoliating mitt the day before. Avoid moisturisers or oils on the day of your appointment because they can create a barrier.
2. Dress Smart
Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment. Tight clothes can rub off the tan, and light colours might show stains. Slip-on shoes are a bonus because you don’t want to mess up your fresh tan trying to tie laces.
3. Communicate Your Desired Shade
Don’t be shy! Tell your technician exactly what shade you want. Whether you want a subtle glow or a deep bronze, they can customise the spray to suit your skin tone and preferences.
4. Avoid Water and Sweat
After your session, avoid showering or sweating until you rinse it. Water is a tan killer. This gives the tan time to develop fully. Trust me, it’s worth it!
5. Moisturise Daily
Keep your skin hydrated from the day after your spray tan to make sure you get the most form your ta and it fades nicely. Use a moisturiser with no nasties or ingredients that will help removing your tan.
6. Touch Up Smartly
If you notice any patchiness, use a gradual tanning moisturiser to even things out between sessions.

How to Maintain Your Spray Tan Like a Pro
Getting a spray tan is just the beginning. To keep that glow looking fresh and fabulous, you need to treat your skin with care. Here’s how to maintain your tan and make it last longer:
Moisturise daily: Hydrated skin holds tan better.
Avoid long hot showers: Hot water can strip your tan faster.
Pat dry instead of rubbing: Be gentle when drying off.
Use tan-extending products: Gradual tanners and moisturisers help maintain colour.
Avoid exfoliating: Until you’re ready to remove the tan, skip scrubs and harsh cleansers.
Wear sunscreen: Protect your skin and your tan from UV damage. Be also careful with sunscreen as they can also reduce your tan life so choose carefuly. No aerosol sprays please.
By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your tan looking fresh and natural, and you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped off a tropical holiday every day.
