Why Your Florida Spray Tan Needs a Different Prep Routine ✧

The Glow Haven | Port St. Lucie, Florida

If you’ve ever followed “standard” spray tan prep and still felt like your glow faded too fast, there’s a reason. Most prep guides are written for dry climates…not for Port St. Lucie’s humidity, where your skin reacts differently to almost everything.

The good news is that with a few simple shifts, your tan can last longer and fade beautifully.

Start hydrating earlier than you think

Because of the heat, your skin loses water faster here. Hydrating for several days before your appointment helps your tan develop deeper and stay even longer.

Exfoliate gently and without oils

Oil-based scrubs don’t mix well with humidity and can leave a film on the skin that blocks your tan. An oil-free exfoliant keeps your skin clean and ready.

pro tip: my favorite way to exfoliate is with an exfoliating mitt.

Shave the day before, not the day of

Your pores “open” in warm weather, and shaving too close to your appointment creates tiny openings where bronzer can settle.
24 hours gives your skin time to calm, leading to a smoother finish.

Day-of skin should be completely product-free

This matters more in a humid climate because lotion, deodorant, and perfume mix with moisture in the air and create uneven development.
Clean skin, that’s it.

Keep your body temperature as cool as possible

If you run warm or sweat easily, book earlier in the day or after a cold shower. Your skin takes solution better when it’s cool and dry.

None of this is complicated…it’s just Florida-specific. And when you prep with the climate in mind, your tan lasts longer and fades softer every single time.
