Tired of your tan disappearing in 2 days?
Let’s talk facts: A good self-tan should last 5–7 days, sometimes longer with the right care. But if yours is fading fast, patchy, or peeling by day 2—something’s off. And it’s probably not your fault.
Here’s why your glow might be ghosting you—and exactly how to fix it for long-lasting, flawless results.
1. You’re Applying to Dry, Dehydrated Skin
💧 Why it’s a problem: Self-tan grabs unevenly on dry patches and fades faster on thirsty skin. Dry skin = flaky skin = patchy fade.
✅ Fix it: Exfoliate 24 hours before tanning using Byremi’s Exfoliating Mitt, then moisturise (especially dry spots like elbows/knees). Hydrated skin = smoother application and longer wear.
2. You’re Skipping Daily Moisturising
🚫 Why it’s a problem: No moisture = your skin sheds faster = your tan goes with it.
✅ Fix it: Moisturise daily post-tan with a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser. Oils can break down tan, so keep it simple. Pro tip: Add a pump of Byremi Face Tan Serum to your facial moisturiser for an all-week glow refresh.
3. You’re Using Harsh Body Wash or Exfoliants
🧽 Why it’s a problem: Scrubby towels, exfoliating gloves, or soaps with sulfates will strip your tan fast.
✅ Fix it: Use gentle, sulfate-free cleansers and pat dry—no rubbing. Save your exfoliating mitt for pre-tan and tan removal days only.
4. You’re Sweating It Off Too Soon
💦 Why it’s a problem: Working out or sweating within 12–24 hours post-tan can cause streaks, fade lines, or uneven wear.
✅ Fix it: Plan your tan around rest days, or wait at least 12 hours post-application before working out. Bonus tip: Use Byremi Ultra-Dark Mousse for sweat-resistant, olive-based colour that lasts.
5. You’re Not Reapplying Gradually
🗓️ Why it’s a problem: Self-tan isn’t permanent. Without touch-ups, even the best tan fades naturally over time.
✅ Fix it: For face glow, apply Byremi Face Tan Serum every 2–3 nights. For body, reapply mousse lightly on day 4–5 to boost colour and stretch your tan another few days.
