How to Make Your Spray Tan Last Longer in Fall | Tan Haus Long Island

Learn how to keep your glow all season long. Tan Haus shares expert fall spray tan aftercare tips to make your color last through chilly weather, sweaters, and cozy nights in.

A Fall Glow That Doesn’t Fade

There’s nothing better than that post-tan confidence — your skin looks radiant, smooth, and healthy. But as the weather cools down, your routine needs a few small tweaks to make sure your tan stays even and lasts longer.

At Tan Haus, we know how frustrating it is when your glow fades too soon, especially during fall events and holidays. So here’s our expert guide to keeping your bronzed skin glowing strong through sweater season.

1. Prep Like a Pro Before Your Appointment

A long-lasting tan starts before you even step into your appointment.

Exfoliate 24 hours before your tan using a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt.
Avoid oils, lotions, and deodorant the day of your tan — they can block the solution from absorbing evenly.
Shave or wax at least 12–24 hours before your appointment to avoid patchiness.

✨ Tan Haus Tip: Try exfoliating with a dry brush or unscented scrub for the smoothest, glow-ready skin.

2. Hydration Is Everything

Cooler air means drier skin — and dry skin = a fading tan.

Moisturize morning and night with a non-oil-based lotion (we recommend anything hydrating but lightweight).
Keep your showers quick and lukewarm, not hot — hot water breaks down your tan faster.
Avoid long soaks or harsh body washes.

Pro Tip: Use Tan Haus’s favorite tanning drops in your moisturizer to keep your tan glowing for 7–10 days.

3. Be Gentle with Your Skin

It’s tempting to bundle up in leggings, jeans, and sweaters, but tight clothing can rub your tan off.

Opt for loose, breathable fabrics right after your tan.
Avoid tight bras or socks for a few hours post-appointment.
Sleep in loose pajamas the first night.

Once your tan has set, you’re free to layer up — but gentle care makes all the difference.

4. Keep That Glow Refreshed

If your tan starts to fade, don’t panic — you can revive your glow at home:

Use a gradual tanning lotion or self-tan mist every few days.
Book your next tan within 7–10 days to maintain a seamless glow year-round.

5. Bonus: Winter-Proof Your Tan with Skincare

Healthy skin holds color longer. During fall and winter, focus on:

Hydrating serums (hyaluronic acid or ceramides)
Barrier-repair moisturizers
SPF — yes, even in the colder months! UV rays still affect your skin and can dull your tan.

Stay Golden This Fall 🍂

Whether you’re heading to a wedding, photoshoot, or just want that “vacation glow” all year, your Tan Haus glow doesn’t have to fade when the temperature drops.
