How Often Should You Get a Spray Tan?
One of the most common questions clients ask is:
“How often should I get a spray tan?”
The answer depends on your:
lifestyle
skincare routine
events
travel schedule
desired level of glow
At DIPPED SUNLESS, many Denver clients maintain custom spray tans year-round for weddings, vacations, photoshoots, work events, and everyday confidence.
Here’s what you should know about maintaining a healthy, natural-looking spray tan schedule.
How Long Does a Spray Tan Usually Last?
Most professional spray tans last:
7–10 days
This depends heavily on:
skin hydration
exfoliation habits
workouts
swimming
skincare products
Colorado’s dry climate
Proper aftercare plays a huge role in longevity.
Typical Spray Tan Schedules
Occasional Glow
If you only tan for events or vacations:
every few months
before weddings
before photoshoots
before trips
Moderate Maintenance
For clients who like consistent color:
every 10–14 days
Year-Round Glow
Some clients maintain spray tans continuously:
weekly or biweekly appointments
This is especially common among:
brides
influencers
models
pageant clients
frequent travelers
Why Proper Skin Prep Matters
Your spray tan is only as good as your skin prep.
Healthy skin creates:
smoother application
more even fading
longer-lasting results
natural glow
Many Denver clients combine spray tanning with:
facials
waxing
body treatments
hydrating skincare
to improve overall results.
Best Routine Between Spray Tans
To maintain consistent color:
moisturize daily
avoid harsh exfoliation
use gentle cleansers
avoid long hot showers
stay hydrated
Colorado weather naturally dries out the skin faster, which can cause quicker fading if hydration is neglected.
Can You Get Spray Tans Too Often?
Professional spray tanning is designed to be customizable and low-maintenance.
However, consistent prep and aftercare matter more than frequency alone.
Proper exfoliation between appointments helps maintain:
even application
smooth fading
fresh color development
Spray Tans for Weddings & Events
For weddings, vacations, and photoshoots:
trial spray tans are recommended
appointments are often scheduled 1–3 days before the event
Many Denver brides maintain regular spray tans leading up to engagement photos, bridal showers, and wedding events.
Pairing Spray Tans With Other Beauty Services
Many Denver clients combine spray tans with:
for full event or vacation prep.
For best results:
waxing should happen BEFORE spray tanning
facials should happen BEFORE spray tanning
