Why Velvet Nectar Belongs in Your Bathroom—and Your Gym Routine
Velvet Nectar isn’t only for that beautiful hydration finish straight after your spray tan. It is also an at-home hydration must-have—whether you have a fake tan on or not.
This lightweight blend of plant oils intensely hydrates your skin while creating a silky layer that helps reduce the direct friction caused by clothing, gym tights, sports bras and everyday movement.
Because we all know where a fake tan disappears first: exactly where everything rubs!
Velvet Nectar Before Exercise
Exercise is wonderful for you. Your sports bra attacking your tan? Not quite so wonderful.
Before the gym, a run or any sweaty adventure, apply a light layer of Velvet Nectar to the areas that experience the most friction, including:
Under your sports bra
Around bra straps and bands
Your waistband
Inner thighs
Underarms
Anywhere tight clothing regularly rubs
Velvet Nectar won’t stop you from sweating, but the light layer of oil helps reduce clothing rubbing directly against dry, tanned skin. This can help your fake tan stay looking smoother and more even.
Important: this is for an already-rinsed, fully developed tan. Please don’t exercise while your fresh spray tan is still developing. No gym, no run and no surprise HIIT class while you are marinating!
The Best Way to Apply Velvet Nectar at Home
Here is the secret: apply it to wet or damp skin.
After your shower:
Leave your skin slightly wet.
Add a small amount of Velvet Nectar to your hands.
Massage it over your body.
Give it a moment to absorb before getting dressed.
The oil may feel rich when it first touches your hands, but water helps it glide beautifully across the body. Your skin drinks it in, leaving it feeling soft, comfortable and hydrated—not crackly, scaly or desperately begging for moisturiser.
No shower? No problem.
Mist a little water over your skin, or wet your hands before adding the oil. Then spread it across your body. You only need a small amount—a little Velvet Nectar goes a very long way.
Should You Use It Before or After the Gym?
Both!
Apply a light layer before exercise to support the areas affected by rubbing. Then, after your workout, shower and apply Velvet Nectar again while your skin is still damp.
Before the gym: helps reduce direct friction against the skin.
After the gym: replenishes hydration after showering and sweating.
If you prefer using a regular moisturiser in the morning and Velvet Nectar at night, that is completely fine too. The important part is consistency.
What If You Don’t Have a Fake Tan?
Your skin still deserves it!
Velvet Nectar isn’t only made for tanned skin. It is an intense daily hydration treatment for anyone who wants softer, smoother and more comfortable skin.
Dry skin can look dull and feel rough or tight. Daily hydration helps support the skin’s surface and keeps it feeling beautifully conditioned. Then, when you do decide to fake tan, your skin is already in a much better condition to hold an even-looking colour.
Make It a Daily Habit
Velvet Nectar works best when it becomes part of your normal routine:
Apply it to damp skin after showering.
Use a little before exercise where clothing rubs.
Reapply after your post-workout shower.
Continue every day—even when you are between tans.
Velvet Nectar is not something you should use once and then forget at the back of the bathroom cupboard. Keep it where you can see it. Use it daily. Let your skin enjoy it.
Because a beautiful fake tan needs beautifully cared-for skin—and hydrated skin is always in fashion.
