If you are interested in the best spray tan, Melbourne beauty lovers are likely to have done a little research. Unfortunately, there is so much contradictory advice out there; it can be difficult to make an informed choice. Most of us have a friend or family member who swears they can provide you with the best tanning tips, with a variety of results. However, here we have professional advice, so you can benefit from expert guidance.

Polish Your Nails:

Many people worry about their gel manicure or acrylic nails when they are considering a spray tan. Melbourne tan lovers may have been told to get their nails done after their tan, but this is not the best idea. At the very least, you should apply a clear coat of nail polish before your tanning treatment. This will allow you to wipe down your nails and your toenails at the end of your treatment and prevent any staining.

Don’t Use an Oil Based Exfoliant:

While nut based exfoliants may smell wonderful and remove lots of dead skin cells, these types of oil based product can leave a residue on your skin that creates a barrier for the tanning product. Although you want to remove any dead skin cells for an even tan, if you don’t want to appear patchy, stick to non-oil based scrubs and exfoliating products.

Assess Your Shaving Habits :

If your routine is to shave your legs every day or two in the shower, you may want to reconsider this habit after your spray tan. Shaving acts as a form of exfoliation, so every time you shave, you will be removing not only dead skin cells but also your new organic spray tan. Melbourne tan lovers should also avoid hair removal creams as these are likely to cause your tan to fade or be completely removed.

Think Long Term Care:

To maximise your new spray tan, you may need to make a few little adjustments to your usual beauty regimen. You should try to pat dry after you shower, as vigorous rubbing can compromise the lifespan of your tan. You should also avoid body scrubs, loofahs or any products containing exfoliating beads to minimise exfoliating. You should also avoid scented body wash products. It is a better idea to use fragrance-free or unscented soaps and body washes. Your tan will not disappear overnight, and it will start to fade. When this begins to happen, you can start to exfoliate and resume use of these products to prepare for your next tanning appointment.
