The Best Tan-Safe Products to Use Before & After a Spray Tan.
Before we explore the best tan-friendly products, let’s look at how long a spray tan should last and which ingredients to avoid.
What many people don’t know is that spray tans resemble a natural sun tan and last 5 to 10 days, depending on your preparation and care. Using quality products designed for spray tans is crucial, as cheaper options can cause fading. For the best and longest-lasting results, prioritize high-quality products to keep your tan glowing.

So what are the best tan-safe products you ask?
Professional Option:
For the best results, use the Nuda body wash and exfoliating mitt before your spray tan. Keep using the Nuda body wash after your spray tan for longer-lasting results.
Nuda Sunless products are the BEST tan-safe choice because they were made for use with spray tans, which is why they deliver the best results when paired together.

This commitment to excellence means their products not only enhance your tan’s longevity but also protect & hydrate the skin while preserving the integrity of your spray tan.
While these tan-safe products are more of an investment, we promise they’re worth every penny, especially if you plan on making spray tans a regular part of your routine. Their high quality ingredients help extend the life of your tan, keeping your skin looking radiant and your tan lasting longer. Investing in Nuda products means you’re not only getting the best results but also making your spray tan worth every penny with lasting results & nourishing skin-loving ingredients.

Over-the-Counter Option:
Raw Sugar Gel Body Wash & an exfoliating mitt are effective for preparing your skin before a spray tan. Keep using Raw Sugar after your spray tan to help it last longer.
On the flip side, if this is your first time getting a spray tan and don’t intend on getting more, which is highly unlikely ;) , Raw Sugar Gel body wash is a decent over-the-counter option we like to recommend to our clients. It’s sulfate-free and made with gentle & natural ingredients. Although it still contains some oils, they’re lightweight and less likely to strip your tan compared to other heavier oils.
