Most people should get a spray tan every 7 to 10 days — long enough for the colour to fully develop and fade evenly before the next session. But the perfect frequency depends on your skin type, your lifestyle, and how long you want to hold your glow. Here’s how to find your rhythm.
How Often Should You Get a Spray Tan?
For a consistent glow, every 7 to 10 days is the sweet spot. That gives your tan time to reach its peak and start fading naturally before you top it up, which also keeps colour from building up too heavily and looking unnatural. With proper aftercare you can stretch how long each tan lasts to 10+ days.
If You Work Out Every Day
Frequent sweating and friction from exercise make your tan fade faster, so if you train daily, aim for every 5 to 7 days instead. The extra session keeps your colour looking fresh despite the quicker shedding.
If You Only Tan for Events
If you’re not maintaining a year-round glow and only tan for special occasions, book 1 to 2 days before each event. That’s the sweet spot for peak colour on the day itself.
The Year-Round Maintenance Approach
Some people prefer a lighter tan more often to keep a steady glow all year. A light depth every 5 to 6 days gives you consistent, natural-looking colour with no gaps. Our memberships make this the most affordable way to stay bronzed.
Listen to Your Skin
Your skin will tell you when it’s time. If your tan is fading evenly and you’re ready for a refresh, go for it. If there are still patches of colour, wait a day or two — there’s no rush. Your schedule, your glow. Book your next session at TANNED TO in Toronto.
