How long does a spray tan take to develop and what should I do?

The tanning process typically develops over approximately 8 hours, depending on the tanning formula used. It’s important to avoid showering for at least three hours after application. When you do shower, don’t be alarmed if you notice a significant amount of colour washing off—that’s just the guide color from the spray tan. Your skin will still have a beautiful tan underneath. After showering, apply a light moisturizer to your entire body, but avoid using body oils as they can accelerate the fading of your tan.
