Why You Need To Tone Your Tan

We all know that any blonde should have a decent colour toning shampoo in her shower, right? Keeping brassy tones under control to maintain that perfect 'pearl or ashy' appearance to blonde hair is a fine art, and can't be done without an effective violet toned shampoo. It's all about maintaining tonal balance before your next hair appointment.

Skin and hair are part of the same family. They should be treated equally. It's no secret that spray tans and self applied tans can lose their quality if not maintained correctly. They can change colour, fade unevenly, and appear 'cracked' and patchy. This is from low quality tans or the wrong maintenance at home.

To maintain the quality of your spray tan or self applied tan for the whole time you're wearing it, there are two main rules you need to follow; 'quality of the tanning product' and 'balanced maintenance', we'll explain below...

QUALITY OF THE TANNING PRODUCT.

Start by choosing a spray tan expert who stocks a quality tanning product like, say...Tuscan Tan! It goes without saying, we highly recommend our three incredible spray tan solutions and various self tanning products. So much time and care has gone into the development of this range. We have released products that we would wear proudly on ourselves. They've been tried and tested over and over until they perform beyond perfection.

To find a spray tan expert near you, head to our salon locator to find someone in your area, then give them a call for a chat about your needs.

BALANCE + MAINTAIN

You need to start with the right base. This means balancing your skins pH before application, then continued maintenance during wear. Tan Toner pH Balanced Skin Wash is your liquid gold when it comes to prep and maintenance.

Use it after you exfoliate when you're prepping for your tan. This leave your pH at around 5.0 - 5.5 which is ideal for tan development. Balancing your pH with Tan Toner Skin Wash while you're wearing your tan means you're not using a body wash that strips your skins natural oils. You won't be left feeling squeaky clean. Squeaky clean actually means you've stripped your skin. Then your skin feels tight and need to lather on a body cream. 

Use the right body wash and you have the right base for a perfect looking tan every time.
