Airbrush tanning, where a fine mist is expertly sprayed onto your skin, is a great option for giving a natural-looking tan, minus the risks of UV rays. We’re all about getting you that perfect glow safely, and with quality ingredients.

The Longevity of a Spray Tan

Curious how long our spray tans last?

Typical Lifespan: Expect your BlushTan to be going strong for 5 to 7 days. This length can vary based on how well the tan is maintained and your lifestyle while tan. Thanks to the nourishing ingredients in our formula including hyaluronic acid and caffeine, your tan not only looks fantastic but also doubles as a skincare treatment for your whole body.

Mastering Post-Tan Care with BlushTan

Want to keep that tan looking fresh? Here's how we recommend doing it:

Right After Your Tan:

You've just visited a BlushTan San Diego studio, glowing like a sun-kissed best version of yourself! Now, let's make sure we keep up your results. Here’s a fun and easy guide to follow right after your tanning session:

Quick Tips for Tan Perfection:

Avoid Contact With Liquids Before Your First Rinse: Keep your developing tan away from water and perspiration to let it set perfectly. Skip washing dishes, exercising or wearing anything too tight for the first few hours to ensure you tan develops evenly.
Stay Cool: Even after your first rinse, you’ll see more days out of your tan if you take a break from super sweaty workouts and hot environments (hot yoga, sauna, etc.)Consider this first day a rest day for pampering yourself and your tan.
Dress Smart, Shine Bright: Opt for comfortable, loose clothing that won't disturb your tan. Think lazy Sunday attire with soft, non-clinging fabrics or tight seams for a flawless tan development .

Extra Care Points:

While your tan is developing be sure to avoid applying liquid makeup. Any activity that you may get splashed (doing dishes) should be avoided as well because you can think of that as an early shower.

Sweet Dreams with Your Tan:

If you’re doing the original tan and rinsing the following morning, we recommend wearing loose pajamas to bed. If you're a night sweater, or are concerned about bronzer transfer to your sheets, consider an express tan so you can rinse off before going to bed.
Minimize skin on skin contact to prevent any tan smudges, aka don’t touch your tan!
