Let’s be real for a second…
Most spray tans don’t “fail.” They fade wrong because of what happens AFTER your appointment.
And in Scottsdale with heat, sweat, pools, and dry air this matters even more.

The 7 Biggest Spray Tan Killers
1. Hot Showers Too Soon
Heat opens pores and breaks down DHA faster.
2. Hot Tubs + Pools
This is the biggest one. chlorine + heat = your tan separating
This is why we say:
no water until rinse and limit soaking after
3. Tight Clothing
Friction causes uneven fading and lines.
4. Using the Wrong Body Wash
Many products contain:
❌ sulfates
❌ exfoliating acids
These strip your tan FAST.
5. Skipping Moisturizer
Dry skin = cracked, patchy fade.
Hydrated skin = smooth fade.
6. Over-Exfoliating After
You are literally removing your tan layer by layer.
7. Poor Prep Before Appointment
If your skin isn’t clean + balanced…your tan won’t develop evenly
