What should you avoid after a spray tan? And what should you use for your first shower?<\/p>\n
Today, I\u2019ll review the best after spray tan body washes and soaps.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll learn how to extend your tan with the right bath soap.<\/p>\n
Contents<\/p>
Let\u2019s get the language right so that there\u2019s no mistake.<\/p>\n
Soap and body wash are technically different things.<\/p>\n
When I say soap, I mean bars of soap. Those are what you want to avoid.<\/p>\n
Using bar soap after a spray tan is a sure way to wreck your bronze.<\/p>\n
You need to use a tan-extending body wash instead (1<\/a>).<\/p>\n I\u2019ll explain why.<\/p>\n Here’s an important question to ask when you set up an appointment to prepare for your first spray tan.<\/p>\n Find out what the salon recommends you use for your first shower after spray tanning. Get their advice on the type of body wash they prefer.<\/p>\n They may mention brands, but what really matters is the formula.<\/p>\n Stick to translucent body washes \u2013 gels that are not creamy or milky. It doesn\u2019t matter if they are colored, just that you can see through them.<\/p>\n Those that create less foam are better, especially for your face.<\/p>\n What you\u2019re looking for are low-pH cleansers that aren\u2019t rich in emollients.<\/p>\n You\u2019re going to be applying moisturizer, so you don\u2019t need an oily body wash. It would just prevent the spray tan from penetrating evenly. You\u2019ll end up with patches and streaks.<\/p>\n Your best bet is to use a clean-rinsing product that doesn\u2019t leave a residue on your skin.<\/p>\n Acidic body washes are better than alkaline bar soaps because they won\u2019t cause your skin to go orange. Bar soaps are harsh and could cause the tan to fade faster, too.<\/p>\n Even moisturizing bar soaps like Dove can be problematic. They might leave a coating on the skin or mess with the acid balance.<\/p>\n Look at the label. If it says \u201cpH-balanced\u201d or \u201clow pH\u201d (meaning something under 7.0), that should be safe.<\/p>\n If the first few ingredients include water and glycerin but no oil, that’s good.<\/p>\n Finally, if you use acne medication soap, you’ll need to skip it for the time being. Exfoliating body washes are lousy news for spray tans.<\/p>\n So, in summary, stick to translucent body washes that rinse clean. They will keep your tan in top shape.<\/p>\n As for that first shower after spray tanning<\/a>, you\u2019ll probably want to rinse with warm water. Don\u2019t scrub, don\u2019t shave, and pat yourself dry.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have time to read the complete article, here are our top picks.<\/p>\n\nWhich kind of body wash is best after spray tanning?<\/span><\/h2>\n
