No, you should not spray tan every day.
The Recommended Spray Tan Frequency
According to expert advice, the optimal frequency for spray tanning is every 10-14 days. This allows your skin time to properly exfoliate and prepare for the next application, resulting in a more even and flawless tan. Daily spray tanning is not recommended and could potentially harm your skin.
Why Daily Spray Tanning is Not Advisable:
- Over-saturation: Applying spray tan daily leads to an over-accumulation of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the active ingredient in most spray tans. This can result in an unnatural, uneven, or streaky appearance.
- Skin Irritation: Frequent application can irritate your skin, potentially causing dryness, redness, or allergic reactions.
- Uneven Color: The build-up of DHA can cause inconsistent coloring, leading to an unnatural-looking tan.
Finding Your Ideal Spray Tan Schedule
While every 10-14 days is a good guideline, individual needs may vary slightly. Factors like skin type and desired tan depth can influence how often you should get a spray tan. Always consult a professional for personalized advice.
