What Makes the Perfect Spray Tan? Inside BodiBronze’s Secret to a Natural, Long-Lasting Glow

What Makes the Perfect Spray Tan?

There’s nothing quite like the confidence boost of a flawless, sun-kissed glow. But achieving the perfect spray tan isn’t just about the application—it’s about the formula, technique, and aftercare that make your tan last longer, fade evenly, and look completely natural.

At BodiBronze Sunless Spa in Champaign-Urbana, IL, we’ve mastered the science of spray tanning to give you streak-free, customized results every time. So, what really goes into a perfect sunless tan? Let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at our expert process.

What Sets BodiBronze Apart? The Science Behind a Flawless Tan

Not all spray tans are created equal! At BodiBronze, we use premium, skin-loving formulas and customized application techniques to ensure your tan is:

✔ 100% Customizable – We match your tan to your skin tone and undertones for a natural, never-orange finish.

 ✔ Long-Lasting – Our fast-drying, hydrating formulas ensure a tan that fades evenly, not patchy.

 ✔ Streak-Free & Even – Our expert technicians use precision application methods for smooth, seamless color.

 ✔ Skin-Safe & Nourishing – Our tans are free from harsh chemicals, packed with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and vitamins.

💡Did you know? BodiBronze uses top-tier DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the ingredient responsible for giving you that bronzed glow, ensuring even development and a natural fade.

How to Make Your Spray Tan Last Longer

Getting a spray tan is just the beginning—proper aftercare is key to keeping your glow radiant and long-lasting. Here’s how to extend the life of your tan:

Before Your First Rinse:

✔ Wait 12 hours for Original spray solutions, and 1-4 hours for quick spray solutions.

✔ Avoid sweating or getting wet to let the tan fully develop.

After Your First Shower:

✔ Use a sulfate-free, hydrating body wash—harsh soaps can strip your tan.

✔ Moisturize daily with an oil-free lotion to prevent uneven fading.

✔ Pat skin dry after showers instead of rubbing with a towel.

To Keep Your Glow Even & Fresh:

✔ Avoid long, hot showers or exfoliating too soon.

✔ Use a tan-extending lotion to maintain color.

✔ Stay away from chlorine & saltwater—they can fade your tan faster.
