Can you workout without ruining your fake tan?
Short answer: YES—but you need the right routine. Sweat, friction, and tight gym gear can fade or streak your tan fast if you don’t prep properly. Here’s how to keep your Byremi glow strong, no matter how hard you hustle.
1. Tan Smart: Choose the Right Self-Tan Formula
💦 Why it matters: Not all fake tans can handle sweat. Cheap or overly drying formulas fade fast under heat and friction.
✅ Solution: Byremi’s Medium/Dark and Ultra-Dark Mousses are made with hydrating, skin-loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Raspberry Seed Oil—so your tan sticks around, even when you sweat.
Pro tip: Ultra-Dark Mousse is best for long-wear results and sweat-resistance.
2. Time Your Workouts Around Your Tan
⏱️ Why it matters: Sweating too soon after tanning can lead to patchy, uneven colour.
✅ Solution:
-
Let your tan develop fully—wait at least 12 hours before your next workout.
-
Apply your tan at night, rinse in the morning, then hit the gym.
Bonus: No tight sports bras or leggings during development. Go loose and comfy to avoid friction streaks.
3. Stay Cool (Literally) During Workouts
🔥 Why it matters: Excessive heat = more sweat = faster fade.
✅ Solution:
-
Stick to cooler workouts (Pilates, yoga, weight training) in the first 1–2 days post-tan.
-
Avoid long sauna-style cardio right after tanning.
Pro tip: Pat sweat away with a towel during workouts—don’t rub!
4. Lock It In: Post-Workout Tan Care
💧 Why it matters: Sweat = dehydration. Dehydrated skin = tan fade.
✅ Solution:
-
After your workout, shower with gentle, sulfate-free body wash
-
Moisturise post-shower with a light, oil-free moisturiser
-
Add Byremi Face Tan Serum 2–3 times per week to top up glow on your face, which fades fastest from sweat.
5. Reapply Lightly for Week-Long Glow
🏃♀️ Why it matters: Active lifestyles naturally fade tan faster.
✅ Solution:
-
On day 4–5 post-tan, lightly reapply Byremi Mousse for a top-up
-
Focus on legs, chest, arms—areas that fade fastest with movement
-
No need to fully exfoliate—just smooth and reapply
