A Waterproof Lesson Learned

Next time a special event arrives, this photo is a reminder to use a waterproof spray tan. This woman’s selfie shows a washed-out spray tan on her face after crying. The trick to a successful spray tan is all in the preparation and aftercare. Exfoliate your skin beforehand to create a smooth surface for the tan.

Avoid getting your skin wet for at least six to eight hours after the application to allow the tan to set correctly. Opt for waterproof formulas if you’re likely to get emotional or wet. Proper hydration and moisturizing can also help maintain the tan longer, keeping your glow intact for any occasion.
