Maintaining your tan

Avoid swimming pools and spas if you can as the chlorine will affect how long your tan will last
-
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Your tan loves lotion so moisturise as much as you can to get the longest and best wear out of your tan
-
Avoid long showers and baths as this promotes skin exfoliation
-
Pat your skin gently with a towel after a bath or shower, rubbing will cause the tan to fade

After day 5 your tan will start to fade, start exfoliating on day 6 and book your next one!
