I think sadly everytime you exfoliate, you will eliminate some of the tan. I know there are tan prolonging products in the market, you could try using one.

Edit : sorry, my sentence didn't make much sense.

I agree with magosienne that you will lose some of your tan every time you exfoliate.  It's just part of the dead skin cell removal.  I use my clarisonic every other day or every 3rd day, and apply my self tanner on the days that I exfoliate.  I also have a tan extender, but haven't used it yet.  Not sure if it will make a difference with exfoliating, but trial and error is what I'll have to do in order to figure it out.  So basically, I just reapply my self tanner after exfoliating and I also apply the day after.  I tend to just apply until I get the color I want and then just apply when exfoliating, unless I'm at my desired color still.  Sounds like I'm just rambling, but I'm trying to explain how I do it. LOL Hope this helps someone!

You don't remove your tan by shaving, waxing,etc., tanning affects the pigment in your skin, not the top layers, which cannot be lightened w/ exfoliation.
