You Always Can Get Bronzed at Home

"Our company, as well as several other spray tanning companies, often offer mobile appointments," Frei explains. This entails a professionally trained spray tanner coming straight to your home, office, or hotel, and delivering a premium quality tan right in the comfort of your home.

Make Sure You Wear Sunscreen After Your Tan

Frei notes that it is important to remember that you can still get sunburnt even with a spray tan. "Always wear your sunscreen, even if you have just gotten a fresh spray," she warns.

Try to Wait for Six to Eight Hours Before You Shower

"Make sure that your first shower post tanning is just a super quick rinse with just water," Frei says. She explains that that first shower has a lot to do with the coloring, so be sure to make it as quick as possible (yes, even if you've waited eight hours).

Make Sure You Hydrate Your Skin After Your Tan

"Hydrating your skin is crucial for seeing long-lasting results from a spray tan," notes Frei. She also advises being extra gentle with your skin — in other words, no rubbing, scrubbing, or using any harsh creams that contain ingredients like retinol.
