Working Out With a Spray Tan: 5 Expert Tips To Maintain Your Glow
At Bronzier, we understand that a glowing spray tan is an extension of your healthy, active lifestyle. We know that many of our clients prioritize fitness, and we’re here to help you maintain your tan with ease, no matter your routine.
The good news? You don’t have to choose between your tan and your workout. With a few simple steps, you can protect your skin, preserve your tan, and continue enjoying both your glow and your fitness goals.
Here are our best practices to help you safeguard your tan while staying active:
1. Book The Hydrator: Make Your Tan Sweat Resistant
For those who plan to sweat it out after their spray tan has developed, we highly recommend adding The Hydrator Enhancement to your appointment. This luxurious mist acts as a protective sealant, creating a barrier that locks in moisture and helps maintain the integrity of your tan. Not only does it provide a dewy finish, but it also hydrates your skin, ensuring that your color lasts longer and fades more evenly. This added layer of protection is especially beneficial for those who live an active lifestyle.
2. Opt for Breathable, Cotton-Based Activewear
Choosing the right workout attire can make all the difference in preserving your tan. Opt for breathable cotton fabrics that allow your skin to breathe and sweat to evaporate naturally. Synthetic materials can trap sweat, creating friction that may break down your tan and lead to uneven fading. Loose, cotton-based fabrics not only enhance comfort during your workout but also minimize the risk of rubbing and streaking, so your glow stays intact.
3. Towel Off During and After Your Workout
During your workout, be sure to towel off frequently to remove excess sweat from your skin. Sweat can cause your tan to fade unevenly, especially if it is allowed to sit on your skin for prolonged periods. Keep a soft, clean towel on hand to gently blot away moisture—avoid rubbing, which can irritate your skin and disrupt the evenness of your tan. After your workout, continue to towel off gently to ensure your skin remains dry and your tan stays flawless.
4. Rinse Off After Your Workout
While it’s important not to over-wash, rinsing off soon after your workout is essential for maintaining your tan. Sweat left on the skin can compromise the longevity of your color, so we recommend a quick rinse with lukewarm water to cleanse and refresh. Hot water can open pores and strip your skin, so opt for a lukewarm temperature to keep your tan looking smooth and even. This helps remove impurities while preserving your golden hue. Be sure to hydrate your skin with a glycerin based moisturizer soon after showering.
5. Extend Your Tan with Specialized Products
For those who work out regularly, incorporating tan-extending products into your routine can be a game-changer. Our Tanning Water and Tan Extender are perfect for those who want to prolong the life of their tan without compromising their active lifestyle. These carefully formulated products hydrate and nourish the skin, ensuring an even tone that lasts. Both products help to maintain the richness and depth of your tan, even through multiple workouts.
Bonus Tip: Prioritize Hydration From Within
Maintaining a spray tan, whether you are frequently active or not, starts with proper hydration—both from within and on the surface. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin nourished, plump, and glowing. Well-hydrated skin not only enhances the look of your tan but also helps it last longer, fading more evenly and naturally. The more you hydrate, the more your glow will thrive.
By following these simple yet effective tips, you can confidently work out while keeping your spray tan intact. It’s all about treating your skin with care and choosing the right products to enhance and protect your color. With the right routine, your tan can be as active as you are—radiant, long-lasting, and perfectly maintained.
