Yes, you can wash your face as normal after a fake tan, particularly a spray tan. However, keep in mind that because you wash and touch your face more often, the tan will fade faster there than on the rest of your body.
Maintaining Your Fake Tan on Your Face
To help maintain your tan on your face, consider using these products:
- Tanning drops: These can be added to your regular moisturizer.
- Tanning mousse: This offers more coverage than drops.
- Gradual tanning lotions/sprays: These build color gradually, allowing for better control.
The frequency of washing your face won't affect the application of the tan, only its longevity. Therefore, your normal facial cleansing routine can continue as usual after getting a fake tan.
