If you’re enjoying your luxury mobile spray tan on Long Island, you want it to last as long as
possible. At Tan Haus, we specialize in professional, mobile spray tanning that gives you a flawless glow—but how you prep, protect, and maintain your tan can make all the difference. Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping your tan looking radiant for days.
1. Prep Your Skin Properly
A long-lasting tan starts before your appointment:
Exfoliate 24 hours before your tan to remove dead skin cells.
Shave or wax prior to your session—doing it after can fade your tan.
Avoid lotions or oils on the day of your tan, as they can create a barrier that prevents the solution from developing evenly.
2. Follow Post-Tan Instructions
Wait 8–12 hours for the classic and 2-5 hours for the rapid before your first shower (follow your airbrush technicians recommendation for rinse time)
Use lukewarm water and gentle, sulfate-free cleansers to rinse off the bronzer without stripping your tan.
3. Moisturize Twice Daily
Hydration is key to longevity:
Use oil-free moisturizers daily to prevent dryness.
Focus on elbows, knees, and heels, which tend to absorb more color and fade faster.
4. Avoid Activities That Cause Rapid Fading
Limit excessive sweating, swimming, or hot tubs in the first 24–48 hours.
Pat dry instead of rubbing when showering or towel-drying.
5. Touch-Ups & Maintenance
Schedule a touch-up every 7–10 days if you want to maintain a deep, even glow.
Tan Haus mobile spray tanning offers flexible appointments, perfect for busy schedules or special events like weddings and parties.
6. Choose Professional Spray Tanning
Professional solutions are formulated for longer wear, and expert technicians know how to customize shades for your skin tone. At Tan Haus, we use premium, skin-safe solutions to create a natural-looking, streak-free tan every time.
