Introduction

Many brides and bridesmaids will opt to have a spray tan as part of their beauty preparations for their special day. If you are choosing to sport a faux sun-kissed glow at your wedding, here’s some advice on how to ensure you look more like Cinderella rather than her pumpkin.

Firstly, what is a spray tan?

A spray tan is a beauty treatment which involves the recipient being sprayed with a mist solution that reacts with the skin and creates a layer of bronzed colour. The layer of colour stays on the skin for four to five days on average, and eventually fades and rubs off.

What’s the difference between a spray tan and self tanner?

A self tanner can will provide natural looking results, however, some people can find self tanner difficult to use in terms of achieving an even consistency of colour, and it can be hard to reach certain areas of the body such as the middle of your back. A spray tan will provide an even application of a consistent colour, and is generally favoured for a professional finish.

Avoid Lotions, Make-up Or Perfume

Avoid wearing perfume the day of your spray tan appointment as some perfumes can permeate the skin and interfere with tanning solution even if you have showered. Skip deodorant, make up, moisturiser and any lotions on the day you are having your tan applied too, as these products can also prevent the spray tan from taking to your skin in an even manner.

Don’t Shave Or Wax After

If you are planning to wax or shave any body hair, do so before you go to your spray tan appointment. If you wax in the days after your spray tan you will remove your tan and be left with obvious patches on your skin. Shaving is OK, but not recommended 24 hours after your spray tan, and when you do shave expect that your tan may wear a little as a result.

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise

Moisturise as often as possible once you have your tan to make it last longer. If dead skin cells are shed they will take your tan with them. Moisturizer will keep them attached to your body. At a minimum you should moisturise morning, night, and after taking a shower.

Don’t Forget Sunscreen

Just because you have a beautiful spray tan it doesn’t mean you are protected from the sun’s rays. Apply sunscreen liberally once you are on your honeymoon, and in general too! Plus, you won’t need to lie out in the sun all day anyway as you will already have the perfect tan.
