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.

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.
