How to Maintain Your Glow Between Spray Tans: The Lashiqué + NUDA Guide to Luxury Bronzed Skin

A flawless, sun-kissed glow can instantly boost your confidence, no UV damage required. At Lashiqué, we’ve elevated tanning into a luxury bronzed skincare ritual using NUDA, a premium Canadian spray tan line known for its skin-loving ingredients and beautiful, natural tone.

But the secret to keeping that glow smooth and radiant isn’t just the tan itself, it’s how you prep and care for your skin before and after your appointment.

If you’ve ever had a spray tan fade unevenly or lose its warmth too soon, this guide is for you.

Why NUDA Is Different: A New Standard in Spray Tanning

NUDA is more than color, it’s skincare. Each formula is packed with nourishing botanicals, antioxidants, and hydrating agents that treat your skin while giving you a natural bronze finish.

What makes NUDA a favorite among Lashiqué clients?

• Customized Shades: No orange tones, ever. NUDA offers cool, warm, and neutral undertones tailored to your complexion.
• Clean, Vegan, & Cruelty-Free: No parabens, no synthetic dyes, and never tested on animals.
• Hydration-First Formula: Aloe vera, coconut water, and antioxidants help your tan fade evenly, so you glow longer.
  

Think of NUDA as luxury bronzed skincare, not just tanning.

Step 1: Pre-Tan Prep for Flawless Results

Your glow starts before your appointment. Proper skin prep ensures even color and longer wear.

The Day Before:

• Exfoliate Thoroughly: Use a gentle sugar or exfoliating mitt to remove dry skin. Focus on elbows, knees, and ankles. This creates a smooth canvas for your tan.
• Shave or Wax 24 Hours Before: Doing so too close to your session can open pores and cause uneven absorption.
• Skip Oils and Heavy Lotions: Oils can create barriers that prevent proper tanning solution adherence. Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer the night before instead.
  

Day Of:

• Arrive with Clean, Bare Skin: No deodorant, lotion, or makeup. These can react with tanning ingredients and cause patchiness.
• Wear Loose, Dark Clothing: Tight garments can rub off color during initial development.
  

Step 2: Aftercare – Lock in the Glow

The first 24 hours after your tan are crucial for long-lasting results.

Immediately After Application:

• Wait at least 8–12 hours before showering (or as directed for express tans).
• Avoid sweating, swimming, or applying products until your first rinse.
• Use lukewarm, not hot, water for your first shower, and skip soap during that rinse.
  

Ongoing Maintenance Tips:

• Hydrate Daily: Moisturizing keeps your tan from flaking. Opt for lotion without mineral oil or alcohol.
• Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin after showers, no rubbing with towels.
• Avoid Harsh Products: Skip retinol, glycolic acid, or exfoliating scrubs until you’re ready for your next session.
• Drink Water: Hydration from within extends your glow and enhances radiance.
