Moisturise at least once a day with the Tan Lab Hydration Lotion;
Alcohol-based products are drying to the skin and can cause the tan to fade quicker and less evenly;
The texture of a washcloth can act as an exfoliant, so when showering, avoid scrubbing;
Soaking in a bath or long periods in a pool can accelerate exfoliating and fade a tan. It is best to avoid both whenever possible. When swimming use a waterproof sunscreen to help seal the tan into the skin and slow down fading. Chlorine will cause your tan to fade;
Shaving your legs removes some outer skin cells and so is a form of exfoliation. Limiting the frequency of shaving will tend to extend the life of your tan. Shaving also tends to dry out the skin, so give them extra attention in your moisturizing routine with the Tan Lab Hydration Lotion;
Consider using The Tan Lab Gradual sunless tan extender;
