The Ultimate Guide to 2025’s Tanning Trends: What’s In & What's Out

The Ultimate Guide to 2025’s Tanning Trends: What’s In & What’s Out
As we step into 2025, it’s time to shine a spotlight on the trends shaping the world of tanning. Whether you’re a spray tan aficionado or a self-tanning novice, these “in” and “out” tips will ensure your glow game is always on point.
What’s In: 🌞
1. Daily Sunscreen:
Gone are the days of compromising your skin health for a tan. Protecting your skin with daily sunscreen has never been more vital. Layering SPF under your tan not only shields you from harmful UV rays but also helps your tan last longer by preventing sun damage.
2. Moisturising Your Elbows (and Everywhere Else!):
Hydration is the secret weapon for a flawless, even tan. Paying extra attention to typically dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles ensures a streak-free glow. Pro tip: Use a lightweight, tan-friendly moisturiser to keep your skin supple without disrupting the tanning process.
3. Washing Your Self-Tanning Mitt:
A clean mitt equals a clean application. Washing your mitt after each use removes product build-up and bacteria, ensuring your tan goes on smoothly and stays hygienic. Bonus: It extends the life of your mitt, saving you money.
4. Express Tanning Solutions:
Time-poor tanners rejoice! Quick-drying, express tans are dominating the market, giving you a salon-worthy glow in just a few hours. Perfect for last-minute plans or busy schedules, these solutions are a game-changer.
5. Personalised Blends & Application:
Customisation is key in 2025. Personalised tanning solutions tailored to your skin tone, type, and occasion are the ultimate luxury. At Tanzola, we specialise in bespoke blends and expert applications to ensure your glow feels truly you.
6. Bye Bye Sunburn
Let's say goodbye to skin turma for good in 2025. We don't like it, it's not needed & can be avoided.
What’s Out: ❌
1. Using an Old Razor to Shave Your Legs:
Dull razors can cause nicks, irritation, and uneven exfoliation, leading to patchy tans. Upgrade to a fresh razor to prep your skin perfectly for a smooth application.
2. Using Expired Self-Tan:
It’s time to bid farewell to that bottle that’s been sitting on your shelf for years. Expired tanning products can result in uneven colour, a poor finish, and even skin irritation. Always check the expiry date before application.
3. Tanning Over Old Tan:
Layering fresh tan over remnants of your last one is a recipe for disaster. It can lead to blotchiness and uneven fading. Instead, exfoliate thoroughly before each application for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
4. Skipping Post-Tan Maintenance:
Neglecting your tan after application is officially out. Without proper aftercare, your tan can fade unevenly or prematurely. Regular moisturising, avoiding harsh soaps, and gentle pat-drying after showers are key to maintaining your glow.
5. Not Confirming Your Appointment
We get it, sometimes you just get bombarded by text messages asking you a million things. However, ignoring a confirmation for your appointment leads your tanner to thing hey they might not be coming in today. Should I offer that time slot to someone else
