How to Shower After Your Self-Tan for Best Results: Expert Tips from Elan Pure

Achieving a flawless, natural-looking tan with Elan Pure's self-tanner is just the beginning. To maintain that beautiful glow, it's crucial to follow the right shower routine. Here’s how to shower after applying self-tanner to ensure your tan lasts longer and looks its best.

Timing is Everything: Your first shower is a rinse ONLY 6-9 hours after applying the self-tanner. The rinse ONLY method allows the tan to fully develop and set on your skin, ensuring a glowing, even color.

 Lukewarm Water to Rinse: Hot showers can strip your skin and shorten the life of your tan. Opt for lukewarm water to gently rinse without compromising your glow. This helps maintain the natural glow of the self-tan and keeps your skin hydrated.

Choose Mild Cleansers: When showering after the first rinse, select a mild soap or body wash free from harsh chemicals and exfoliants.  Avoid scrubbing your body; instead, focus on washing essential areas gently. This prevents the tan from fading unevenly and keeps your skin smooth.

Pat Dry, Don’t Rub: After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Rubbing can disturb the tan and the length of the tan. Patting helps preserve the tan and keeps your skin soft.

Moisturize Immediately & Daily: Lock in moisture by applying a hydrating moisturizer ( preferably non-toxic) right after drying off. This step is crucial for prolonging the life of your tan and keeping your skin nourished. Elan Pure’s hydrating self-tanner is formulated with non-toxic, organic moisturizing properties that protect your skin barrier. 

Following these tips will help you maintain a long-lasting tan. By taking care of your skin post-application, you can enjoy a dewy glow that enhances your natural beauty.

Trust Elan Pure for all of your self-tanning needs and experience the difference of non-toxic, organic ingredients. It’s time to glow with confidence!
