What is the average lifespan of a spray tan?

The average lifespan of a spray tan is generally accepted to be between 5 to 7 days. This duration can vary based on several factors, including the individual's skin type, how well they prepare their skin before the tanning application, and how they care for their tan afterward. When clients follow proper aftercare instructions—such as avoiding excessive exfoliation and using gentle cleansing products—they can enjoy a spray tan that lasts for the full duration. This range provides a realistic expectation for clients, helping them understand when they might need to consider reapplication for maintaining their desired color.
