In the spray tan world, one of the biggest debates is whether coconut oil is safe to use after a spray tan. Some swear by it, claiming it keeps their skin hydrated and their tan looking fresh. Others argue that oils, including coconut oil, can actually strip a spray tan faster. So, what’s the truth? Let’s dive in.
The Debate: Does Coconut Oil Strip a Spray Tan?
Coconut oil is known for its deep moisturizing properties, making it a popular choice in skincare. However, when it comes to preserving a spray tan, oils—especially heavier ones like coconut oil—can break down the DHA in the tan and cause it to fade unevenly. Since DHA reacts with the skin’s outermost layer to create a tan, anything that accelerates exfoliation, including oils, can lead to premature fading.
That being said, some people claim they love using coconut oil post-tan because it makes their skin feel soft and hydrated. While individual results may vary, the science behind DHA development suggests that heavy oil-based products can lead to an uneven or shorter-lasting tan.
The Better Alternative: NUDA’s Ultra-Rich Body Cream
Instead of taking a risk with coconut oil, the best way to maintain a flawless, long-lasting spray tan is by using a tan-safe moisturizer like NUDA’s Body Cream. Formulated with powerful active ingredients such as Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin E, this luxurious cream deeply nourishes the skin while protecting the tan’s longevity.
Unlike coconut oil, which can strip the tan over time, NUDA’s Body Cream conditions and revives the skin, providing intense hydration without affecting the tan’s color or evenness. It’s the perfect post-tan essential for clients who want to maximize their glow while keeping their skin soft, silky, and smooth.
The Importance of Retailing Tan-Safe Products
As a spray tan artist or salon owner, ensuring your clients have access to 100% safe post-tan products is crucial. Recommending products like NUDA’s Body Cream allows you to confidently provide solutions that are designed to enhance and extend a spray tan rather than compromise it. Plus, retailing NUDA’s skincare and self-tanning products gives your clients the ability to touch up their tans at home with trusted, professional-grade formulas, all while increasing your own revenue instead of recommending products for them to buy elsewhere.
