Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and every detail matters, especially when it comes to your hair and makeup.
But before you dive into the world of bridal beauty, there’s one essential step you shouldn’t overlook: a wedding tan.
Member Claire, a seasoned beauty therapist based in Macduff, Aberdeenshire,who now solely focuses on Spray Tans and Make up emphasises, “Hydration, hydration, hydration – it’s the most important thing for wedding prep and any day.” Drinking plenty of water not only hydrates your body from the inside out but also reflects on your skin, making it radiant and ready for makeup and tan application.
Hydration is not only crucial for your overall health but also plays a significant role in achieving that coveted bridal glow. But hydration doesn’t stop at drinking water. Moisturising your skin is equally essential to ensure it remains supple and hydrated. Not only does this prevent dryness, but it also helps to prolong the life of your tan, another key aspect of bridal beauty.
Everyone knows the key to an amazing lasting tan is not only the tan and the tan artist but the skin prep too. Prep for you tan should start on the lead up to your appointment not the day of your appointment. Water – I can not stress enough how important it is to drink the recommended 2 litres of water or more per day to hydrate your skin. Exfoliate – at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan with a basic loofah, glove or facecloth. Stay away from any heavy exfoliating oils. After your shower before your tan DO NOT apply lotions, oils, deodorants or perfume we need a clean base & remember to make sure any old tan is removed completely. Shaving should be done at least 12 hours prior to your appointment, Streaks may be an issue if shaving has been done right before due to the wax/oils in the shaving bar or cream. Manicures, Pedicures & waxing should be done before your Spray tan. Bring loose fitting long sleeved clothing so your whole body is covered after your tan.
