How to Prevent Orange Staining on Hands and Feet While Spray Tanning

If you're like most people, you probably love the look of a sun-kissed glow. However, if you've ever tried to get a spray tan before, then you know that the process can be a bit tricky. One of the main problems people face when getting a spray tan is staining on their hands and feet. While you may hear advice such as moving around during your tan to avoid contact with the palms of your hands and soles of your feet, these tactics are best to avoid as they tend to cause an uneven tan.

In this blog post from TanBan, we will discuss effective ways to prevent orange staining on your hands and feet while spray tanning. Read on to learn more!

Proper Skin Preparation

The first step in preventing orange staining is proper skin preparation. Prior to getting your spray tan, you will want to make sure that your skin is clean and free of any oils or lotions. This will help the spray tanning solution to adhere to your skin evenly and prevent any unwanted staining.

Exfoliating your skin before getting a spray tan is another important step in preventing staining. This will help to remove any dead skin cells or oils that may be present on the surface of your skin. Exfoliation will also help to ensure that the color looks even and natural once it has developed.

Apply the Correct Moisturizers

You don’t want to apply any moisturizers before your spray tan. Rather, you should come in with clean, fresh skin. However, after your spray tan, you’ll want to ensure that you are moisturizing correctly to reduce the likelihood of staining. At least twice a day, use an oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin. This will reduce the chances of developing orange staining on your hands and feet.

The Shower After Your Tan

Take your first shower no sooner than four hours after your tan but not later than 24 hours. When you do get into the shower, be careful and cleanse using only your hands and an oil-free soap. Instead of rubbing your skin with a towel, pat yourself dry. You should also avoid taking hot showers or baths immediately after your spray tan.
