Seasonal Shifts: How Fall Weather Affects Your Spray Tan Results
When the seasons change, so does your skin, and that means your spray tan should, too. At Apres Soleil, we love helping clients keep their glow year-round, but achieving the perfect look in September is different than it is in July. Here’s what you need to know about how cooler weather and lifestyle shifts can affect your results.
Fall Skin = Drier Skin
As humidity drops and indoor heating kicks in, skin naturally becomes drier. Dry patches can cause uneven color or quicker fading. The solution? Exfoliate the day before and hydrate by drinking water before your appointment. Arrive at your appointment with clean, product-free skin (no lotion, deodorant, or makeup), then moisturize daily after your tan to lock in your glow.
Try from our shop:
Our 3-Way Exfoliating Mitt has 3 unique sides for 3 different exfoliating levels.
Ensures the cleanest smoothest skin so your NEW tan is streak free and perfect
Silicone hairs give light/med exfoliation and promote circulation/blood flow
Turn inside out and use the honeycomb silicone for med/hard exfoliation and deeper circulation of skin/blood flow
3 layer buffing side promotes the most exfoliation where loosened skin will be trapped by the layers
Antibacterial and Washable
Hanging Loop for drying
TO USE:
Use mitt 24 hours before sunless tanning session.
We recommend pairing with SPRAY STUDIO BLANK CANVAS to skin per direction or soak in BLANK CANVAS Tan Removing Bath Soak for 10-15 mins to loosen dead skin and tan.
Use mitt to exfoliate skin in a circular motion. Layers of skin, old tan and impurities will roll off the body onto your mitt. Rinse skin. Finish by washing skin and moisturizing very well. Glove is washable, bleach-able and reusable.
Not getting a spray tan? We recommend exfoiating once a week for younger fresher looking skin.
THE FIRST TAN REMOVING GEL IN THE WORLD!
Developed in 2019 and has become a must have in everyone's tanning routine!
BLANK CANVAS was developed in a liquid gel form...not a thin, watery spray or mousse...or one reason. We found that a formula with a slight gel component sat in the outer layer of skin longer...able to work better at releasing your color from last week! It took MONTHS and MONTHS to get this formula just right!
As a vegan product, it is packed with botanical ingredients for skin health, and no harsh ingredients to hurt your skin! The BONUS...your skin will actually BENEFIT from using this once a week! And thank us later for how soft you feel all over!
NO NASTY INGREDIENTS HERE!
**WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ordering a EXFOLIATE 3-Way Silicone Mitt with each bottle for easier removal of your tan! It will help the exfoliation process and ensure your tanning residue is fully removed.
FRAGRANCE: Citrus
7 oz.
TO USE:
Simply apply gel to dry skin, rub in a bit, wait 5-10 minutes. Next, get in the shower or bath and towards the end after soaking/steaming skin a bit, scrub away dead skin. After exfoliation, wash skin with mild soap and rinse clean. Skin will be soft, hydrated, tan-free and ready for your next application! Blank Canvas can be used to remove professional spray tan application and at home self-tanning products.
TIP: Have a STUBBORN TAN or do you choose to use sunless tanner that is A LOT darker than your original skin color and having trouble getting it all off? No Problem. Just soak your skin in a bath or shower first...then get out, dab dry, apply BLANK CANVAS, leave on 5 mins or so, then get back in shower and scrub. The darker the tan the more maintenance sometimes.
Your Wardrobe Plays a Role
In summer, your tan is on display with sundresses and swimsuits. In fall, jeans, boots, and cozy sweaters cover more skin, so the depth of your tan can look different. Many clients prefer a slightly lighter, more natural shade for fall to match their wardrobe and the season’s softer light.
Customize for Season or Travel
Not all tans are seasonal, they’re situational.
Staying local this fall? Opt for a subtle glow that complements autumn tones.
Heading on vacation to Cabo or Hawaii? Choose a deeper tan to match the bright, beachy setting.
Your setting impacts your desired shade as much as your skin tone does. That’s why we customize every session.
Longer-Lasting Glow Tips for Fall
Stick to lukewarm showers (hot water dries skin out).
Harsh cleansers can strip your color. Instead, use a gentle, spray tan–friendly body wash to cleanse without fading your glow.
Swap heavy scrubs for a gentle exfoliator.
Layer with a fragrance-free lotion to keep your tan even.
