With Spring Break knocking on our door, so many clients are headed to the beach, or places with swimming pools. This brings up a whole new batch of questions.
What about swimming? Chlorine Water/ Salt Water? How can I protect my tan?
We've all heard the horror stories of a person with a spray tan coming up out of the pool with very little, if any of their tan left. So, what's a girl (that wants to be tan when she arrives at the beach/pool) to do? The answer is simple really. An airbrush tan, when taken care of properly, can make it through swimming (in either salt water or chlorinated water). There are just a few extra precautions that will need to be taken.
First, we recommend using a waterproof or water resistant sunblock (without mineral oil). The lotion is better than the spray. That greasy feeling is a good thing. (Think of it as creating a barrier between the skin and the water.) Also, following the directions on the back of the sunblock tube, reapplying as often as recommended is extremely important. Next, we suggest having a tan extender or self tanner (no mineral oil) on hand. In case of emergencies, the these can be used to fill in any spots or fading that might occur. We recommend applying the tan extend or self tanner with a makeup applicator or Q-Tip, and don't forget to wash the palms with soap, to avoid staining the hands. Following the regular airbrush tan tips (provided with your tan), as well as these few additional steps will ensure a long lasting golden glow.
