(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.
It also depends on how much skin is exposed and the time of day. If you're fair skinned and sunning yourself outside in a bathing suit at noon, you only need a few minutes without sunscreen. If you're already tan or of Hispanic origin, you need maybe 15 to 20 minutes.
