Can I exercise after my spray tan?

This week we have been asked numerous times:  "Can I exercise after I get my tan?".
The answer is that the tan needs to fully set first.  The first 8-12 hours after receiving the tan are the most critical in terms of not getting it wet.  If at all possible, you (the client) need to wait at least the full 8 hours before sweating profusely.  Otherwise, the sweat will act just as water to the tan, and will cause it not to fully develop.
After the tan has fully developed, however, exercising is not really cautioned against, unless it is excessive.  This is due to the fact that excessive sweat can have a bit of an exfoliating quality.  So, if you do sweat alot, you might notice a little bit of wear and tear on your underarms or places that perspiration sits.  If this is the case, simply use the tan extend in those places to get the most out of the life of your tan.  Also, if exercise is causing you to shower more than once per day, the showering alone will cause the tan to fade faster.  Remember, the more showers you take while having a spray tan, the quicker it will fade.
