(Coquitlam, BC, Canada) Question: How long after a spray tan can I shower? Is longer better and or is too long bad? Answer: Spray tan usually develops over 5-12 hours, so you should definitely abstain from showering for at least 5 hours.
Have a cool bath or gentle shower. Keep the water just below lukewarm (cool, but not tooth-chattering) and relax for 10 to 20 minutes. If showering, use a gentle stream of water, not a full blast, to avoid irritating your skin. Air dry or pat gently with a towel to avoid abrading the skin. 1  Avoid using soap, bath oils, or other detergents as you bathe or shower. 2  Any such products can irritate your skin and possibly make the effects of the sunburn feel even worse.
