You deserve a sun-kissed glow and confidence boost. And what better way to achieve that than with a luxurious tan?

With Moroccan Tan, achieving radiant, flawless skin is effortless when paired with the right preparation and aftercare. From the first spray to daily maintenance, these spray tan tips will help you preserve your tan while keeping your skin hydrated and luminous.

Pre-Tan Prep for Sun-Kissed Results

Every stunning tan starts with well-prepped skin. Before your spray tan, exfoliate gently to remove dead cells and create a smooth, even surface for the tan to adhere to. Pay extra attention to areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and ankles. Avoid oil-based scrubs, which can leave a residue and interfere with the absorption of Moroccan Tan products.

Don’t forget to handle hair removal at least 24 hours before your session to give your skin time to settle. On the day of your tan, opt for cooler showers and skip moisturisers, deodorants, and perfumes—they can create barriers that result in uneven development.

Spray Tan Tips: Choosing the Right Outfit for Your Tan 

Loose, dark clothing is your post-tan go-to. Tight fabrics can rub against freshly applied tan, leaving streaks or patchy spots. Whether you choose old undergarments or prefer to tan au naturel, the choice is yours.

During the application, your tan technician will ensure a streak-free finish using advanced spray technology. One of our best spray tan tips is to apply a light barrier cream to prevent overdevelopment on areas like hands, feet, and elbows, leaving your tan looking natural and flawless.

Spray Tan Aftercare: Protect and Prolong Your Glow

The first few hours following your spray tan are vital to its longevity. Let your tan dry completely before getting dressed, and avoid touching your skin to prevent unwanted streaks.

Here’s a breakdown of our spray tan aftercare tips:

  • Avoid Sweating: Skip activities that may cause sweating for at least 24 hours—this means no workouts, housework, or steaming cups of tea that might make you overheat. Sweat can cause streaking and uneven development.
  • Rinse, Don’t Rub: When it’s time to shower, gently rinse off the guide colour with warm water and let it flow over your skin without scrubbing. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing it to avoid disrupting the tan.
  • Moisturise Daily: Lock in hydration with a rich moisturiser to extend the life of your tan. Avoid products containing exfoliating acids like AHAs or glycolic acid, as they can fade your tan prematurely.
  • Apply Sunscreen: While your tan gives you a bronzed look, it doesn’t protect against UV rays. Always apply sunscreen when outdoors.

Daily Rituals for a Long-Lasting Tan

Hydration is your tan’s best ally. Moisturising daily keeps your skin supple and prolongs your tan’s lifespan. Choose neutral, pH-balanced lotions and avoid products containing exfoliating acids, as they can cause premature fading.

For an extra boost, use the Moroccan Tan Glow Extender, a client favourite designed to hydrate while enhancing a healthy bronze tone. Need a quick touch-up? The Moroccan Tan Instant Airbrush Spray provides a seamless refresh on the go.
