Alright this is one of those “nobody talks about it but it WORKS” prep tricks 👀👇 💦 The pH balance spray tan hack Your skin’s pH matters more than people think. If your skin is: * too alkaline (from soaps, deodorant, sweat) * or has residue 👉 your spray tan can turn: * patchy * orange * uneven fade ⸻ 🧼 The trick: Use a pH-balanced wash (like Summer’s Eve) on your body the day of your tan. Why it works: * Helps bring skin back to a slightly acidic state * Creates a clean, even canvas * Helps the tan develop more natural + even ⸻ ⏰ How to do it (simple + effective) 1. Shower right before your appointment 2. Use a pH-balanced wash (yes… everywhere 👀) 3. Rinse REALLY well 4. No lotion, deodorant, perfume after 5. Pat dry + go ⸻ 🚫 What to avoid * Heavy soaps with residue * Dove bar (can leave a film 👀) * Oils before your tan * Last-minute shaving with creamy razors (leaves barrier) ⸻ 🔥 Bonus pro tip If your tans tend to go: * orange → your pH is likely off * patchy → you’ve got residue somewhere This fixes BOTH. ⸻ 💬 Caption (ready to post) Your spray tan didn’t fail… your prep did 👀 One of the biggest secrets to a flawless, even tan? Your skin’s pH. If your skin is off, your tan can turn patchy, uneven… or straight up orange. Before your next spray tan, wash with a pH-balanced cleanser (yes, like Summer’s Eve) to create the perfect base. No residue. No guessing. Just smooth, even glow ✨ Trust me… this one makes a difference. LTKselfcare LTKmomlife LTKBeauty
