Summer was made for glowing skin... but it can also be one of the toughest seasons for your spray tan.

Heat, humidity, sweat, chlorine, salt water, and long days in the sun can all cause your skin to dry out and naturally exfoliate faster. The good news? With a few simple habits, you can help your glow stay fresh, even through a heatwave.

Here's our guide to surviving summer without sacrificing your tan

💧 Hydrate From the Inside Out

Healthy skin starts with hydration.

When your skin becomes dehydrated, it tends to look dull and can shed dead skin cells more quickly, causing your spray tan to fade sooner.

Drinking plenty of water throughout the day, especially during a heatwave, helps support healthier-looking skin and a more even fade.

🧴 Moisturize More Than You Think

Heat, sun exposure, and even air conditioning can leave your skin feeling dry.

A quality, spray tan-friendly moisturizer helps replenish hydration and supports a smoother, longer-lasting fade.

During extremely hot weather, we often recommend moisturizing twice a day to keep your skin comfortable and your glow looking its best.

🏖️ Pool Days Don't Have to Mean Goodbye

Chlorine, salt water, and sand won't instantly remove your spray tan, but they can dry out your skin and speed up fading.

After swimming:

✔ Rinse with fresh water as soon as possible.

✔ Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing.

✔ Apply a spray tan-friendly moisturizer once your skin is dry.

These simple steps can make a noticeable difference in how your tan wears over the following days.

☀️ Protect Your Glow With SPF

One of the biggest misconceptions is that a spray tan protects your skin from the sun.

It doesn't.

Always wear sunscreen when spending time outdoors.

For the best results, choose a lotion or cream sunscreen instead of aerosol sprays whenever possible. Cream formulas tend to be more hydrating, while some aerosol products can leave the skin feeling drier.

🌿 Stay in the Shade When You Can

We love sunshine... but your skin also loves a little break.

Whether it's a patio umbrella, a beach cabana, or your favourite shady tree, taking breaks from direct sun helps keep your skin cooler, more comfortable, and less dehydrated.

Your tan will thank you.
