Try to Wait for Six to Eight Hours Before You Shower
"Make sure that your first shower post tanning is just a super quick rinse with just water," Frei says. She explains that that first shower has a lot to do with the coloring, so be sure to make it as quick as possible (yes, even if you've waited eight hours).

Make Sure You Hydrate Your Skin After Your Tan
"Hydrating your skin is crucial for seeing long-lasting results from a spray tan," notes Frei. She also advises being extra gentle with your skin — in other words, no rubbing, scrubbing, or using any harsh creams that contain ingredients like retinol.

Avoid Any Products Containing Oil
"Oil is not a friend to any spray tan," warns Frei. She explains that this is because oily products can totally strip the tan and cause unevenness.
