How often you will need to refresh your tan depends...
- Skin condition:
Some people have dryer skin and flake a lot, some don't. Oily skin will retain a tan longer than dry skin.
- Exfoliation:
If you did not exfoliate properly, your tan may start to flake much sooner than it should. Since the chemical process affects only the top layer of skin, as your skin sloughs off, your tan can go with it. Your skin must be smooth and clean to get a smooth, clean tan. The more you tan, the easier it is to see the skin you need to exfoliate.
- Tight clothing:
Any piece of clothing that generally chafes the skin will cause the skin and the tan to rub off with it. This also applies to the foot area and shoes.
- After obtaining your base tan, you can generally get by with tanning once a week. The less time you expose your tan and skin to water the longer your tan will last.
- Get in the habit of moisturizing your skin morning and night between tanning sessions.
- Try to shave the night before tanning and not right before you go for your session.
- The time of year will affect your skin, and therefore, your tan. As your skin changes with the seasons, you will need to keep dry skin moisturized.
- Long hot baths or showers are death to tans (but great for preparing to exfoliate). The skin soaks and softens with length of time exposed and speeds up the exfoliation process.
