Tanning isn’t just for women – men love a golden glow too! Whether you’re hitting the UV beds or getting a professional Spray Tan at Plush Tan, taking care of your skin is key. Skincare for men doesn’t have to be complicated – just consistent. Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping your skin healthy, hydrated, and looking its best. 💪✨
Hydrate Inside and Out 💧
Healthy skin starts from within. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain your tan and keeps your skin soft. Pair that with a good moisturizer – ideally one with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid – to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness after tanning sessions.
Exfoliate the Right Way 🧽
Exfoliation is key for a smooth, even tan – but the timing depends on the type of tanning you choose.
- UV Tanning: Because it is an ongoing process, most people tan every 2-3 days. Exfoliating a few times a week before each session removes dead skin cells and helps your tan develop evenly.
- Spray Tans: Sunless Spray Tan is usually a one-time session with the result lasting 5-7 days on average, depending on how well you maintain it. Exfoliate only before your session to prep your skin for a flawless result. After that, wait until your tan begins to fade before exfoliating again, so you don’t remove the solution prematurely.
Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating glove to prep your skin and get the best results every time.
Don’t Forget Sunscreen ☀️
Even if you tan indoors, sunscreen is still a must for any outdoor exposure. Look for a broad-spectrum SPF to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Remember: healthy tanning is all about balance.
After-Tan Care 🛁
After tanning, your skin may feel a little sensitive. Apply a soothing lotion or aloe gel to calm your skin and extend your tan. For Spray Tans, a hydrating, fragrance-free moisturizer helps maintain an even color and prevent patchiness.
Choose the Right Products 🧴
Avoid products containing harsh chemicals or strong fragrances, as they can irritate freshly tanned skin. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers formulated for sensitive or tanned skin.
Maintain Healthy Skin Daily 🌟
Consistency is key. Hydrate, moisturize, and protect your skin every day – even on non-tanning days. This routine ensures your skin looks its best and keeps your tan looking natural and long-lasting.
