You've packed your SPF, booked the dream getaway, and arrived with a gorgeous Lusso Tan glow. But a few days into your holiday, you notice your tan isn't looking quite as fresh as when you left home.
Don't panic - this is completely normal.
Between swimming pools, sun exposure, air conditioning, and long days outdoors, your skin goes through a lot while you're away. The good news? A few simple steps can help keep your tan looking flawless from departure to return.
Problem #1: My Tan Is Starting to Fade Mid-Holiday
Even the best tans naturally fade over time as your skin renews itself. If you're away for a week or longer, you may notice your glow softening around day 4 or 5.
The Solution: Top Up With Gradual Tan
Our Lusso Tan Gradual Tan is the perfect holiday companion. Applying a light layer halfway through your trip helps refresh your colour without the commitment of a full tan application.
It blends seamlessly with your existing tan, boosts your glow, and helps maintain an even, natural-looking finish for the remainder of your holiday.
Think of it as your holiday tan insurance policy.
Problem #2: My Skin Feels Dry and My Tan Looks Patchy
One of the biggest challenges when travelling is keeping your skin hydrated. Sun exposure, sea air, air conditioning, and increased showering can all leave skin feeling dehydrated.
When skin becomes dry, tans can fade unevenly and lose their healthy, radiant appearance.
The Solution: Lock In Hydration With Our Primer
Healthy skin is the secret to a longer-lasting tan.
Our Lusso Tan Primer helps to lock in hydration and create the perfect environment for your tan to remain smooth, even, and glowing. By keeping skin nourished, you're helping your tan fade more naturally and evenly.
Using your primer daily while on holiday can make a noticeable difference in both the appearance and longevity of your tan.
Problem #3: The Swimming Pool Is Ruining My Tan
Many people don't realise that chlorine can be one of the biggest enemies of a long-lasting tan.
Chlorine is known to strip DHA - the active tanning ingredient responsible for your glow. The longer chlorine sits on your skin, the more impact it can have on your tan's longevity.
The Solution: Rinse Immediately After Swimming
After spending time in the pool, try to rinse off as soon as possible with fresh water.
This helps remove chlorine before it has a chance to continue breaking down your tan. Once you've rinsed, gently pat your skin dry rather than rubbing with a towel, as excessive friction can also encourage your tan to fade faster.
It's a simple habit that can help preserve your colour throughout your holiday.
The Lusso Holiday Glow Checklist
✔ Apply your tan before you travel
✔ Keep skin hydrated daily with Lusso Tan Primer
✔ Top up mid-week with Lusso Tan Gradual Tan

The Bottom Line
A beautiful holiday tan isn't just about the initial application - it's about maintaining healthy, hydrated skin while you're away.
With the right aftercare, a mid-week gradual tan top-up, and a little extra attention after pool days, you can keep your Lusso glow looking fresh, radiant, and holiday-ready from start to finish.
Because your tan should last as long as the memories.
