Sunless Spray Tans and Swimming

Sunless tanning! This is the perfect option for those looking for a tan without spending time in the scorching sun. Well that is if you are not a frequent swimmer and don’t splash around too much in the pool. Unlike sun tans, sunless spray tans do get affected by the chemicals in swimming pools and seawater. To ensure that your sunless spray tan lasts for long even while you need to you need to take certain precautions. Here in this article we will look at some important things and tips you should know about sunless spray tanning and swimming. Before and After Getting the Spray Tan As sunless spray tans don’t last long and more so when in frequent contact with water, you need to take extra care when going for your spray tanning session. Ensure that you exfoliate thoroughly before the session, to help the spray tan color set in properly. Also ensure that you don’t go for a shower right after the tanning session as it will wash away the tanning solution before it gets time to set in. As a precautionary measure some spray tanning products and services recommend waiting at least four to eight hours before getting into contact with water. If you are in doubt about how long you should wait before hitting the pool go for the longest waiting period. Before Taking the Dip Water accelerates the fading process, so the less you are in contact with water the slower it will fade. Depending on how much you perspire and how frequently you hit the pool or the shower, your sunless spray tan can fade away in as much as three days. When it fades you will have to go for another spray tan session. If you are regular swimmer but still want to keep your spray tan from fading sooner, consider going for spray tanning sessions regularly. This will help to saturate your skin, thus making the spray tan fade more slowly. Once You are out of the Pool The water in the swimming pool contains chlorine, which has a bleaching effect on your sunless spray tan. Although you cannot prevent the tan from fading when you are in the pool you can still slow down the fading process to some extent. Don’t spend too many hours splashing around in the water. Also each time you come out of the pool, remember not to rub yourself dry or let it dry on its own, as this can result in the spray tan fading unevenly in patches - instead just pat your skin dry.
