Sunscreen & Spray Tans
You know the old saying, "looks can be deceiving?" Remember that line especially during the life of your faux glow. Because spray tans do not protect your skin against harmful UV rays please still remember to always wear sunscreen! We recommend the following tips for choosing a sunscreen with a spray tan:
Use a broad spectrum, oil-free, lotion sunscreen, with an SPF of 30 or higher. Planning on swimming with your spray tan? Make sure to also look for a sunscreen that is water-resistant as it can help slow tan fade related to water submersion. We personally love
Avoid aerosol or spray-on sunblock as they can actually dry your spray tan out making it fade unevenly
