Wedding Spray Tanning Tips: Achieve a Flawless Glow for Your Big Day

Brides Beware

The #1 Spray Tan Mistake That Could Ruin Your Wedding Day (And How to Avoid It!)

A wedding day glow is something every bride dreams of, and achieving that perfect sun-kissed look can be effortless with a well-executed spray tan. Whether you’re the bride, a bridesmaid, or a guest, here are my top tips to ensure your tan looks flawless and natural on the big day.

For the Bride

1. Timing is Everything

   • Schedule your spray tan 2-3 days before the wedding. This allows the color to settle and ensures any initial bronzer washes off, revealing a beautiful, even tan.

   • In-Home Service Advantage: Booking an in-home spray tan service means you can relax in the comfort of your own space and avoid the hassle of traveling. Plus, you won’t have to worry about weather conditions ruining your tan.

2. Prep Your Skin

   • Exfoliate your entire body thoroughly 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. This removes dead skin cells and ensures an even application.

   • Recommended Product: Bora Bora Body Polish – Escape to the turquoise waters of Bora Bora while polishing away dull, unwanted cells. Tropical extracts and pumice form a lightweight texture to gradually exfoliate the skin. Monoi de Tahiti adds extra moisture for a radiant finish.

3. Moisturize Wisely

   • Moisturize your skin leading up to the day before your tan, but avoid any lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on the day of your appointment as they can interfere with the tanning solution.

4. Choose the Right Shade

   • Consult with your spray tan technician to choose a shade that complements your natural skin tone and the season. You want a natural, healthy glow, not an overly dark tan.

5. Post-Tan Care

   • Wear loose, dark clothing after your appointment to avoid staining and allow the tan to develop evenly.

   • Avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing for at least 8 hours post-tan. After your first shower, keep your skin hydrated to prolong the life of your tan.

   • Recommended Product: Moorea Moisturizer – Keep your skin moisturized and your tan looking fresh.

For the Bridesmaids

1. Coordinate Your Tans

   • Ensure all bridesmaids get their tans done around the same time to avoid any noticeable differences in color on the wedding day.

   • Opt for a shade that’s slightly lighter than the bride’s tan to keep the focus on her.

2. Follow the Same Prep and Post-Tan Care

   • Just like the bride, exfoliate before your tan and avoid lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on the day of your appointment.

   • Keep your skin moisturized after the tan to maintain a flawless look.

For the Guests

1. Book Your Appointment Early

   • If you’re a guest attending multiple events, book your spray tan early enough to ensure it lasts throughout all the festivities.

2. Lighten Up

   • Opt for a lighter tan that gives you a natural glow without being too overpowering. You want to look radiant, not outshine the bridal party.

3. Emergency Touch-Ups

   • Keep a small amount of self-tanning mousse for any emergency touch-ups. This can help cover any uneven spots or areas that may fade quicker than others.

   • Recommended Product: Tahitian Tan Mist – A lightweight, quick-drying formula to maintain your tan.

Special Tip for Future Brides

If you’re lucky enough to not be engaged yet, seize your next special event as an opportunity to book a spray tan. This way, you can see how the color develops and how long it lasts, giving you a good idea of what to expect for your wedding day.

At-Home Maintenance for the DIY Bride

1. Extend Your Tan

   • Use an at-home tanning product to extend the life of your spray tan. Apply it evenly and sparingly to avoid any streaks or patches.

   • Recommended Product: Sea Foam Tanning Mousse

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

   • Keeping your skin moisturized is key to maintaining your tan. A good moisturizer will prevent your skin from drying out and your tan from fading prematurely.

   • Recommended Product: Moorea Moisturizer
