Do You Have A Question About Tanning?

Tanning can feel like a daunting experience, whether that’s booking a professional spray tan or tanning yourself at home. Therefore, this month I wanted to share with you some of the most frequently asked questions I get and give you the facts so that you can feel the most beautiful version of yourself…

Q: I have fair skin and have never tanned before, what would be a good product for me to try at home to see if I like it?

A: I would always recommend using the Sienna X Gradual Self Tan first of all. It’s like a moisturiser, so has no guide colour to it, but it’s a really great product to use as you can gradually build up the colour to your desired shade. The Sienna X Sleep Drops are also a really nice way to add a little colour to your face too! You would just apply 1-2 drops to your night cream or serum and then rub all over the face and blend into the neck area.

Q: I’m really worried that if I have a spray tan, I’ll be Orange! Can you give me any advice?

A: Spray tanning often gets a bad reputation for looking Orange and smelling of biscuits! Sienna X formulations are packed full of natural ingredients to ensure you not only look beautiful in a natural glow, but you smell good too. During a consultation, you should be asked about your skin, how well you tan naturally in the sun and what your tan is for. This then helps your therapist advise you on the perfect solution for you. Spray tans are only ever orange, if the wrong shade is applied, or if the application has been done incorrectly.

Q: What can I use at home to avoid those tell-tale signs of tanning?

A: I would always recommend Sienna X Secret Tan Primer. This helps to stop the tan being too heavily absorbed into dryer areas such as, elbows, knees, hands and feet. You would just apply and then be able to use your favourite Sienna X self tanning product over the top.

Q: Can I still get a spray tan whilst I’m pregnant?

A: I would always recommend after the first trimester (12 weeks) hormones have settled down and a spray tan would be perfectly fine to have done. It is the safest form of tanning you can have.

Q: Are Sienna X products vegan friendly?

A: Yes. All of the products within the range are all vegan friendly, cruelty free and paraben free too. If you are an extreme vegan, the only product that wouldn’t be suitable for you is the moisturiser; Radiance Body Balm as this contains a small percentage of Lanolin.

Q: Can I have a spray tan before going on holiday?

A: Absolutely you can! There’s no better feeling that glowing with confidence from the start of your holiday. You would still need to apply your SPF as the spray tan solution doesn’t contain it, but it does allow you to build up a natural tan over the top.

I hope you have found this helpful. If you have any other questions about spray tanning or self tanning, please feel free to get in touch by leaving a comment below or alternatively, you can pop over to my Facebook page.

Until next time, glow with confidence…

It’s no secret, I love new products, but most of all I love new Sienna X products! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on not one, not two, but three brand new products! So, this month, I’m going to be sharing them with you too!Sleep Tan Drops BBHBFirst up is Sleep Tanning Drops and this is just what sweet dreams are made of! It’s great for creating a natural glow to the face or to maintain your facial tan after your spray tan.

How To Use: Shake well before use and mix one or two drops into your daily moisturiser, serum, night cream or face oil in the palm of your hand. Don’t forget to wash your hands after use to avoid tanned palms.Skin Finish BBHB

I just love this so much! The Skin Finish is beautiful and perfect for illuminating your skin after your tan. It is also packed with moisturising and anti-oxidant ingredients which are perfect for hydrating your face and body whilst giving you a radiant glow.

How To Use: Shake well before use and spray 30cm away from face and body. You can intensify results by allowing mist to fully dry before repeating.3

The last product is the Self Tan Remover. It comes with a bottle of remover and mitt to ensure that you can fully remove tan build up or to correct self tan mistakes at home. I think this would be perfect for clients who regularly self tan or have regular spray tans.

How To Use: Apply to stubborn areas with remover mitt, exfoliate fully for a full tan detox and repeat if needed. Shower and pat dry before applying fresh self-tan or prior to your next spray tan appointment.

Why not try them for yourself at your next tanning appointment. I think you’ll love them just as much as I do! In the meantime, you can head over to my Instagram page where you’ll find some videos on the results of the fabulous products!

How To Glow with Confidence This Spring…

After the cold Winter months, our skin can sometimes feel a little dry and lack lustre. Which is why there is no better time to revive it. If you are new to spray tanning, you might not be aware of the benefits it has to offer, so this month, I thought I’d share how to glow with confidence this Spring…

  • A spray tan can beautifully enhance the appearance of your skin. It can also help to camouflage small scars, stretch marks and blemishes.
  • We all want to feel as healthy as possible and a spray tan gives you that feeling from the moment it’s applied. We all crave Vitamin D during the winter months, so by having regular treatments, you could have a tan all year round.

  • Sienna X spray tan solutions are packed full of natural ingredients too, including Aloe Vera, Calendula, Shea Butter and Kiwi Fruit Extract. All of these have amazing anti-ageing and moisturising properties.
  • Spray tans can actually boost your happiness, leaving you feeling fitter, healthier and more toned.

I am a firm believer that a spray tan isn’t just a solution being applied directly to your skin, I think it’s a mindset game changer. I also think we all deserve to feel beautiful and glow with confidence and I am so passionate about making my clients feel this way.
