Glow Coast Nanaimo

Big city, beautiful glow ✨ Always a pleasure to tan the lovely Amanda Greene when she’s headed to a photo shoot 🤍🥰

Pre Sunfest was a record breaking week for us at Glow Coast! Hope all you babes had a great time, we love to see those tans and cowboy boots 😍

Babe: mia fryer 🤍🤍

Honoured to be the one to tan you for your happily ever after, Kels 🤍🤍🤍 What a stunning bride, and a beautiful love story 🥹

We’ve used every solution under the sun on Kelsey over the last 12 years, but we opted for our clear ultra rapid for her wedding tan. She is always quite tanned already this time of year, but the clear spray tan just helps make the colour more vibrant, glowy, and most importantly, even.

Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with Korean sunscreen? ☀️🇰🇷

For years, sunscreen has had a bit of a bad rap.

It was thick, greasy, left a white cast, pilled under makeup, stung your eyes, or felt like something you HAD to wear instead of something you actually enjoyed using.

Korean skincare brands took a different approach. 📋

Rather than simply making SPF, they focused on making sunscreen feel like skincare first. Think lightweight textures, hydrating ingredients, beautiful finishes, and formulas that people actually look forward to applying every morning.

The result is sunscreens that disappear into the skin, wear beautifully under makeup, and are comfortable enough that you’ll actually use the recommended amount every day.

At Glow Coast, I’ve brought in three of my favourites because not every skin type wants the same finish.

✨ TOCOBO Bio Watery Sun Cream
For dry, dehydrated or mature skin that loves a healthy, glowy finish.

🤍 Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun
The one I recommend to almost anyone. Gentle, nourishing, and incredibly easy to wear.

💧 Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh
Perfect if you have oily or combination skin, are acne-prone, or simply hate the feeling of sunscreen.

Not sure which one you’d love? Pop into the salon and I’d be happy to help you choose. 🤍

Your favourite face tan water is now refillable! Bring your empty Glow Water bottle to your spray tan appt, or book a Refill Appt online ✨

Full Sized bottle - $54
Refill of Light/Medium or Medium/Dark - $30

It’s pretty common for our face to fade first when we get a spray tan. With increased cell turnover due to more frequent washing and ingredients in our skincare, it can be hard to hold a tan on some facial skin beyond a couple days. If this is you, a face tan spray is your new secret weapon.

Our Glow Water is newly improved with a beautiful new bottle and improved ingredients, and is now available in a 4% Light/Medium (same colour as our original) and a darker 7% Medium/Dark shade.

As always, all our Glow Coast products are made fresh for us in Canada, so you’re getting the highest quality and longest lifespan out of your products.

One more NEW and exciting thing?! Your Glow Water is now REFILLABLE at Glow Coast for $35! Bring your empty Glow Water to your spray tan appt, or book a slot to have it refilled online.

Some recent work✨ Wedding season will always be a favourite 🤍🤍

Coming up on one year in July since I started my journey with waterless skincare, and my skin has never felt or looked better.

This last 10 months I’ve stepped back from skin treatments, Botox, facials not because I don’t love them but because I just haven’t had the spare time😮‍💨 It continues to amaze me how hydrated and healthy my skin looks, even though I haven’t been leaning into these things that I used to feel like I had to.

Fine lines have softened, skin isn’t ever flaky anymore (my forehead has always been my trouble area), breakouts are rare, discolouration has faded.

I may not be posting every week about my skincare routine, but my bathroom cabinet is still stocked at all times with Oliveda, because this stuff has changed my skin.

I’m almost out of a few of my favourite things right now, the F38 Gel Cleanser, F11 Facial Toner, F74 Face Cream (barrier repair HEAVEN) and my go to F83 Vitamin C Serum, which are all 35% off right now (even bigger discount for members👏🏽). So need less to say, I’ll be stocking up AND trying some of the new blush colours I’ve been eyeing up! The cream blush and skin tint are my fave daily makeup products. Obsessssssed 🔥

Prom 2026 season officially wraps up this week! This year has been a busy one, and it’s been on my mind to share my thoughts and feeling about this year specifically, because it felt extra special.

I wanted to send a big congratulations to all the parents of grads that were sent my way for their prom and/or graduation tans. These girls were so great. I thought many times over the last couple months how this was such a grown up group of girls. They were all so kind, so polite, everyone was incredibly respectful of the process and of my time. Everyone followed directions. And the girls were just so darn lovely! Well done to the parents, and huge thank you to all my prom girls. You made this season so enjoyable for me 🤍

Side note; there’s nothing that makes a service provider more thrilled than sending them photos or tagging them in photos. It seems simple, but with so many people through our door this time of year, it’s impossible for us to try and search out photos. You literally bring a huge smile to our face when you share these, so thank you for that 🥰🫶🏽

REAL BABES. FAKE TANS.
