Sweat & Glow: Can you work out with a spray tan?

Let’s be real—there’s nothing like the confidence boost of a fresh spray tan. Your skin is smooth, even, and radiant. But if you’re the kind of goddess who also loves to move her body, you might be wondering…

“Can I still work out with my spray tan?”

At Diosa Spray Tans, we say: absolutely.

Because we use a sweat-resistant, skin-loving formula powered by DMI, you can stay bronzed and beautiful—even when you're breaking a sweat.

Yes, you can lift (Yoga, Pilates etc.) and glow at the same time.

The Diosa Difference: Our ‘Revenge Tan’ Sweat-Resistant Formula

Traditional spray tans often break down with sweat, causing patchiness, streaking, or early fading. That doesn’t fly in our world.

Our ‘Revenge Tan’ solution formula is infused with DMI (Dimethyl Isosorbide)—an elite ingredient that enhances the performance of active ingredients in skincare and sunless tanning.

Here’s why it matters:

What is DMI?

DMI is a transdermal delivery agent that allows for better penetration of DHA (the ingredient that creates your tan) into the skin.

That means:

  • Deeper, more even color development

  • Better adhesion, even in high-friction or high-sweat areas

  • Less color transfer

  • Longer-lasting results

It's like a personal trainer for your glow—it makes your tan stronger and more resilient.

Our solutions we use are made to move with you.

Working Out Post-Tan: Best Practices from the Pros

Even with our high-performance formula, here’s how to make sure your glow stays flawless:

1. Wait Before You Sweat

Your tan needs time to fully develop after your initial rinse and before you work out.
We recommend:

  • 24 hours for traditional solutions

  • 12–24 hours for our rapid rinse formulas

Sweating too soon can interrupt development—so give your skin time to soak up all that golden goodness.

2. Dress the Part

Stick to loose, breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo during workouts. Tight sports bras, leggings, or compression gear can rub and cause premature fading or creasing—especially around knees, underarms, and under bust.

3. Pat, Don’t Rub

After your workout, resist the urge to rub yourself down with a towel. Instead, gently pat dry and shower with a gentle, sulfate-free body wash.

4. Hydrate Inside & Out

Moisturize daily with a tan-safe lotion (avoid heavy oils or anything with alcohol). And don’t forget to drink water—hydrated skin holds onto your glow longer!

Looking to ease back into movement without fading your glow? These workouts are tan-friendly favorites:

  • Hot Girl Walks (yes, please)

  • Pilates or barre (low-impact and chic)

  • Weight training (if clothing isn't tight)

  • Stretch + mobility sessions

  • Yoga or flow classes post-rinse

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, or intense cardio until at least 24 hours post-tan for best results.

You Deserve a Tan That Works as Hard as You Do

Your lifestyle shouldn’t limit your glow. With Diosa Spray Tans, you get more than just beautiful color—you get a high-performance tan designed to move with you, not against you.

Sweat-Resistant. Confidence-boosting. Diosa-approved.
