SPRAY TAN SAFE PRODUCTS

Products that
protect your tan

The wrong lotion, body wash, or SPF can strip your tan in days. These are the products our artists personally approve — tested and trusted for use before and after every spray tan.

PRO TIP: Avoid store-bought products after a spray tan. They can cause premature fading. Instead, use our glow products by CleanGlow to get a long-lasting beautiful tan. They're made for our spray solution to give the perfect brown color.

Best result: use CleanGlow products

Our own glow products are formulated specifically for our spray solution — they're made to work together for the longest-lasting, most vibrant result.

⚠️

Avoid mineral oil & harsh chemicals

These ingredients strip DHA from the skin and cause premature fading, patchiness, and brassy tones.

🧴

Choose sulfate-free & pH balanced

Gentle, fragrance-free, and pH-balanced products are always the safest choice after a spray tan.

Spray tan safe lotions

If you must use store products, these are our picks — but we can't guarantee full tan life with these.

Body wash for spray tans

pH balanced, sulfate-free, and gentle moisturizing cleansers only.

Spray tan safe SPF

Lotion forms only — avoid spray sunscreens as they can streak and strip the tan.

Face wash for spray tans

Gentle, sulfate-free face washes only — avoid exfoliating cleansers or anything with acids.

To avoid an uneven and brassy tan, it's best to steer clear of products that contain chemicals. Mineral oil can also strip the tan, so it's important to choose gentle, chemical-free products for a flawless and even tan.

A common question I get asked at the salon is,

Will sunscreen harm my spray tan?

Well, the truth is that yes, depending on which sunscreen you are using you could end up shortening the life of your spray tan due to the ingredients drying out your skin and causing the tan to fade.
