✨ IN OUR BRIDAL ERA ✨

How absolutely STUNNING does our beautiful Alex look on her wedding day?! 🤍👰🏼‍♀️✨

Alex opted for a gorgeous dark tan at 13% DHA and just look at that glow! 😍🤎 The perfect bronzed finish to compliment her bridal look without taking away from her natural beauty.

💍 Getting married? Have a special occasion coming up?
Please remember to book your tan appointment as early as possible! Bridal season and special-event appointments can fill up quickly, so securing your slot in advance means you can relax knowing your glow is sorted ✨

📲 Don’t leave your glow until the last minute — pre-book your appointment!

✨ PROPER PREP = FLAWLESS TAN ✨

A gorgeous spray tan doesn’t just start when you step into the tent… it starts with your prep! 🤎

Proper preparation helps your tan develop more evenly, last longer and fade beautifully — giving you that smooth, flawless glow we all want! ✨

🧼 EXFOLIATE 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and create a fresh, smooth canvas.

🪒 SHAVE at least 12–24 hours beforehand to allow your pores to settle.

🧴 MOISTURISE in the days leading up to your tan, but arrive with clean, dry skin and no moisturiser, oils, deodorant or perfume on the day.

👙 WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING after your appointment to avoid rubbing and transfer.

💦 FOLLOW YOUR AFTERCARE — rinse at the recommended time, moisturise daily and avoid anything that causes excessive exfoliation.

And remember… the better the canvas, the better the glow! ✨🤎

Save this for your next appointment & send it to your tanning bestie! 👯‍♀️

✈️☀️ VACAY BABES — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! ☀️✈️

Heading off on holiday? Here’s why I recommend having your spray tan the day before you fly 🤎✨

🧳 Perfect timing — your tan has time to develop beautifully before you jet off, so you can step off the plane already glowing!

✨ Your tan is at its freshest — giving you that gorgeous, even holiday glow from day one.

🚿 No rushing — you can rinse your guide colour before travelling and let your tan continue to develop naturally.

🤎 Less risk of patchiness — travelling straight after your appointment can mean sweating, friction from clothing and sitting for long periods, which can interfere with the development of your tan.

☀️ And remember… your spray tan contains ZERO SPF! Your glow is not sun protection, so your SPF is still an absolute holiday essential. 🧴🌴

So, if you’re flying out soon… book your glow for the day before! ✈️🤎

✨ LIGHT & LOVELY FOR LUCY’S SECOND HEN ✨

A gorgeous light tan for the lovely Lucy for her second hen do! 🤍✨

For her first hen, Lucy originally opted for a medium shade and absolutely loved it — but this time she wanted to trial something a little lighter… and she fell in love with it even more! 😍🤎

This is exactly why trial tans are SO important before your wedding day 👰🏼‍♀️✨

Your trial gives us the chance to:
🤎 Find your perfect shade
🤎 See how the tan develops on your skin
🤎 Make sure you’re comfortable with how dark/light you feel
🤎 Check how it photographs
🤎 Make any adjustments before the big day

Your wedding tan should make you feel like the best, most confident version of yourself — not like a completely different person! ✨

Lucy’s perfect shade has officially been found 🤎✨

Brides-to-be — please don’t leave your wedding tan to chance! Book your trial well ahead of the big day. 👰🏼‍♀️

A little business update 🤍

I wanted to take a moment to address something that has been becoming increasingly noticeable within my diary over the last few months.

Cancellations are unfortunately part of running any appointment-based business, and I completely understand that sometimes things happen and plans change. However, recently I’ve seen a noticeable increase in cancellations, particularly with my spray tan appointments.

Over the last 3 months, I’ve had 10 cancellations, all from different clients.

To put that into perspective, that represents £369.40 worth of appointments cancelled.

What’s particularly concerning is that 4 of those 10 bookings had no deposit paid, meaning the appointment time had been reserved, but when the booking was cancelled there was nothing retained for the time I had set aside.

As a small, independent business, cancellations and empty appointment slots have a direct impact on my livelihood. When an appointment is cancelled at short notice, I’m not simply losing an appointment — I’m potentially losing income that I rely on to cover my business costs and pay myself.

I absolutely appreciate that things happen, and I will always do my best to be understanding. 🤍

However, to protect my diary and my business moving forward, all bookings manually added by me will now require a deposit to be paid within 24–48 hours of booking.

Please note: your appointment is NOT confirmed or secured until the deposit has been paid.

If the deposit hasn’t been received within the required timeframe, the appointment slot may be released and made available for somebody else to book.

This isn’t a decision I’ve made lightly, but it’s one I feel is necessary to protect my time, my income and the sustainability of my little business. 🤍

Thank you so much to everyone who respects my time, keeps their appointments and continues to support my business. It genuinely means more than you know. 🫶🏼

Thank you for your understanding xo

✨ Q&A: HOW LONG DOES A SPRAY TAN LAST? ✨

One of my most asked questions… so let’s talk TAN 🤎

How long does a spray tan last?
A spray tan will typically last around 7-10 days, but this can vary depending on your skin, your prep and how well you look after your tan.

Here’s what happens as your tan fades 👇🏼

🤎 Days 1–2: Your tan is developing and settling into your skin, creating your desired glow.

🤎 Days 3–4: Your tan is at its peak and looking gorgeous! This is where keeping your skin hydrated becomes SO important.

🤎 Days 5–7: Your skin naturally begins shedding its surface cells, so your tan gradually fades with them.

🤎 After 10 days: Most of your tan will have faded, although traces can remain depending on your skin and how well you’ve cared for it.

✨ Want an even, longer-lasting fade? PREP + AFTERCARE MATTER!

Before your appointment:
• Exfoliate 24–48 hours beforehand
• Remove unwanted hair at least 24 hours before
• Keep your skin clean and free from oils, lotions and deodorant before your tan
• Arrive with fresh, product-free skin

After your tan:
• Follow your recommended development time
• Avoid excessive sweating, swimming and long hot showers while your tan develops
• Moisturise daily once you’ve completed your first rinse
• Keep your skin hydrated
• Avoid harsh scrubs and exfoliants while wearing your tan
• Pat your skin dry rather than rubbing

The better you prep your skin and look after your tan, the more evenly your tan will fade — meaning you can enjoy your glow for even longer ✨🤎

And remember… a gorgeous tan starts with gorgeous skin!

✨ Hydration is the key to a flawless spray tan! ✨

One of the most common questions I get is “Why can’t I moisturise before my appointment?” 🤎

Here’s why…

💧 Before your tan: Please avoid applying moisturiser, oils, perfumes or deodorant before your appointment. These products create a barrier on the skin, making it harder for the tanning solution to absorb evenly. This can lead to patchiness, streaks or lighter areas where the tan hasn’t developed properly.

🚿 Your first rinse: Once your recommended development time is complete, it’s important to rinse your skin with lukewarm water only. Don’t use shower gel, soap, shampoo (running over your body) or exfoliating products during this first rinse. Simply allow the cosmetic bronzer to wash away until the water runs clear, then gently pat your skin dry with a towel—don’t rub.

⏰ Don’t leave your tan on for longer than advised. More time doesn’t mean a darker tan! Once the solution has fully developed, leaving it on for longer can cause the cosmetic bronzer to become tacky, transfer unevenly and increase the risk of patchiness or uneven fading. Following the recommended rinse time gives you the best, most even result.

💦 After your first rinse: This is when hydration becomes your best friend! Apply a moisturiser daily to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Well-moisturised skin helps your tan fade evenly, prevents dryness and can even help extend the life of your tan.

✨ Great tan prep + great aftercare = a beautiful, longer-lasting glow.

🤎 THIS, NOT THAT | Spray Tan Edition 🤎

What you wear after your spray tan appointment really does matter! 👀✨

❌ NOT THAT: Tight bras, sports bras, leggings, skinny jeans, socks and anything restrictive.
These can rub against your fresh tan before it’s fully developed, causing lines, patches and uneven fading.

✅ THIS: Loose, dark-coloured clothing.
Think oversized T-shirts, baggy joggers, loose shorts, floaty dresses or oversized hoodies. The less friction on your skin, the better your tan will develop! 🤍

🚫 Bras? If you can avoid wearing one until you’ve had your first rinse, that’s ideal! Bra straps and underwires can leave unwanted tan lines and marks across your shoulders and back.

Your tan continues developing for several hours after your appointment, so giving it plenty of space (and avoiding anything tight) helps you achieve that flawless, streak-free glow. ✨
