The Big Question: When to Rinse

Now, let's address one of the most important aspects of your post-tan care – the first shower. The timing of this shower plays a crucial role in how your tan develops and sets. Here's how long you should wait depending on the type of solution you choose:

  • BlushTan Original: This formula is designed for those who don’t have quick access to a shower. To ensure the DHA (the tanning agent) has enough time to react with your skin for a rich, even color, we recommend waiting at least 12 hours before your first shower.

  • BlushTan Express:  In a hurry? With the express option, you can rinse off the cosmetic bronzer, which gives you instant color, in just 4-6 hours. Remember, keep this first rinse quick and lukewarm, focusing on removing the bronzer without using soap.

  • BlushTan Super Express: Need to rinse off quickly? Our super express solution allows you to shower in just 2-4 hours. Similar to the express option, the first rinse should be brief and soap-free to ensure your tan develops flawlessly.

Beyond Waiting: Tips for a Flawless Tan

To make your tanning experience truly exceptional, we've got some additional tips and tricks to keep in mind:

  • During the Waiting Period: After your spray tan, it's essential to avoid contact with liquid on your skin, perspiration, and applying any products on your skin until your first shower. This means holding off on exercise, activities that may make you sweat, and steering clear of rain or spills.

  • The First Shower: When that first shower finally arrives, use lukewarm water and skip the soap or exfoliating products. Gently pat dry with a towel.

  • Moisturizing is Key: After the shower, hydration is very important. Apply an airbrush-safe daily moisturizer, like BlushTan's hydrating moisturizer, to extend the life of your tan and ensure it fades evenly.

  • Daily Activities: After that initial rinse, you can get back to your regular routine. However, prolonged exposure to water or sweating can speed up fading, so keep this in mind if you want your tan to last as long as possible.
