Beauty In Bloom

Having a skin condition doesn’t mean spray tans aren’t for you. It just means you need the right hands. 💛
 
Here’s what I do differently for sensitive and condition-prone skin:
 
🌿 Eczema & psoriasis — I avoid active flare areas entirely and use lower DHA percentages with ultra-clean, fragrance-free solutions

🌸 Rosacea — cooler application techniques and gentle, calming solutions prevent flare-ups

🧴 Dry or textured skin — heavy barrier cream placement and extra prep work ensures even color grip

✨ Uneven skin tone — strategic application and solution selection can actually minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation
 
I do a full skin assessment at every appointment because your skin tells a story — and I listen to it. 🤎
 
If you have active skin concerns, DM me before booking so we can talk about what’s right for you. 🌸

Want your tan to last 10 days instead of 5? These are the non-negotiables. ⏳🌿
 
🧴 Moisturize TWICE daily — use a tan-safe product (avoid anything with mineral oil)
🚿 Lukewarm showers only — heat is a tan killer
🏃‍♀️ Pat dry, never rub — rubbing = friction = premature fade
🚫 Avoid AHAs, BHAs & retinol for the life of your tan
✨ Invest in a tan extender product — can add 2–3 extra days
 
The biggest one? Moisturizer. Hydrated skin holds color. Dry skin sheds it. It really is that simple.
 
Take care of your glow and your glow will take care of you. 🤎

Not all spray tans are created equal — and the secret is in your UNDERTONE. 🎨
 
Here’s a quick way to find yours:
 
💜 COOL — your wrist veins look blue or purple. Silver jewelry flatters you most. Wrong solution = orange nightmare.
 
💛 WARM — veins look green. Gold jewelry is your BFF. DHA is naturally warm so it LOVES you. Lucky!
 
💚 NEUTRAL — veins look blue-green. Both metals suit you. The most versatile skin to tan!
 
Why does this matter? Because DHA — the active ingredient in spray tan — is inherently warm. Without the right undertone-matched solution, cool-toned skin can turn orange, ashy, or muddy.
 
When you come to me, I do a full undertone assessment BEFORE I ever pick up a spray gun. Your tan should look like YOUR best natural color — just elevated. 🤎

Raise your hand if your tan has EVER gone patchy and you had absolutely no idea why. 🙋‍♀️
 
You’re not alone — and it’s almost never the solution. Here are the most common culprits:
 
🚿 Hot showers — heat breaks down DHA faster than anything

🏊‍♀️ Chlorine & salt water — these are your tan’s mortal enemies

🧴 Skipping moisturizer — a dry fade = a patchy fade, every time

🏃‍♀️ Sweating before your tan fully develops — the 8-hour window is real

🧖‍♀️ Exfoliating products like AHAs, BHAs & retinol — these are designed to remove dead skin cells (the cells your tan LIVES in!)
 
The good news? Every single one of these is preventable. I’ll walk you through exactly how to protect your glow at your appointment. 🤎

Your tan is only as good as your prep — and I mean that. 🤎
Here’s exactly what to do before your appointment:

✔️ Exfoliate 24 hours before (not the day-of — your skin needs time to settle)

✔️ Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior

✔️ Arrive with clean, dry skin — zero deodorant, moisturizer, or perfume

✔️ Wear loose, dark clothing after your appointment

✔️ Avoid sweating, water, and anything tight for at least 8 hours post-tan

Skip these steps and even the best solution in the world won’t save you. 😅 Do them and you’ll walk out glowing.
