✨ Bridal Glow 101: Your Guide to the Perfect Spray Tan for the Big Day! ✨
Your wedding day is all about radiance, and a flawless spray tan can help you achieve that perfect, sun-kissed glow. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure it’s seamless:
💍 Book a Trial Tan: Schedule a trial spray tan at least 4–6 weeks before your wedding day. This allows us to find the perfect shade to complement your skin tone and dress.
💄 Coordinate with Makeup Trials: Plan your trial tan a day or two before your makeup trial. This way, your makeup artist can see how your skin tone will look on the big day and create a cohesive, glowing look.
☀️ Avoid Sunburns & Tan Lines: Protect your skin from sunburns in the 6 weeks leading up to your tan. Burnt or peeling skin can result in uneven color and won’t hold a tan properly. Also, be mindful of tan lines from swimwear, watches, or fitness trackers—these can show through your spray tan.
🚫 No Retinols: Stop using retinol-based products at least 2 weeks before your spray tan. Retinols can cause skin to shed and affect the evenness of your tan.
💆♀️ Last Step in Your Beauty Routine: Your spray tan should always be the last beauty service you book. Ensure all other treatments are done beforehand:
-
Facials & Laser Treatments: Complete any facials or laser treatments at least 7–10 days prior to allow your skin to settle.
-
Massages: Book massages 24–48 hours before to avoid oils or pressure disrupting your tan.
-
Waxing & Nails: Get waxing and nail appointments done 24–48 hours before to ensure your skin is prepped and ready.
-
🗓 Timing Is Key: For your final tan, book your appointment 2–3 days before your wedding. This gives the color time to develop fully and ensures it looks natural and even.
🧼 Use Spray Tan-Friendly Products:
-
Stick to gentle, sulfate-free body washes to maintain your glow. Harsh soaps can strip your tan.
-
Choose a tan-safe moisturizer without oils to keep your skin hydrated and extend the life of your tan.
-
Avoid exfoliating products or anything with alcohol, which can cause fading.
