5 Top Tips For Creating The Perfect Tan!

By Leave a Comment

When it comes to creating a flawless tan, preparation really is the key. As the weather becomes warmer, what better time to share my 5 top tips for helping you create the perfect glow…

Hair Removal…

It’s always best to wax or shave at least 24/48 hours before you apply your tan. This allows your pores to reduce in size before your tan application. If hair removal is done to close to application, this is when “dotting” can occur. (This is where the product sits within the pores and looks like freckles)

Exfoliate…

This helps to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, which rejuvenates the skin and reveals a smoother surface for your tan to be applied. The Sienna X Exfoliating Mitt is perfect for this as it’s gentle on the skin and yet so effective. This can also be used to remove old tan build up ready for new tan to be applied.

Tanning Accessories…

If you are choosing to create your tan at home, I would highly recommend a Sienna X Tanning Mitt and Self Tan Primer. Both of these are a complete game changer. The Tanning Mitt helps to create a beautiful finish as well as being fully lined to avoid any product staining your palms. The Self Tan Primer is the perfect way to hide those tell-tale signs of self tanning, by applying to dry areas such as hands, elbows, knees and ankles.

Get The Best From Your Tan…

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! This helps to keep your skin hydrated and your tan looking at its best. Hands and face will always fade quicker so why not opt for the Sienna X Rose Water to prolong that golden glow for longer.

Tan Like A Pro…

Finally, if the thought of a self tan fills you with dread, why not get in touch with me for a professional spray tan. I will take into account your skin tone, how you tan naturally in the sun and your desired result and together, we can create the most beautiful, flawless glow for you.

How To Save Your Skin This Summer

By Leave a Comment

Our Summer getaways may be looking a little different this year with many of us looking for something a little closer to home. However, our typical British weather can be unpredictable; so this month, I thought I would share some top tips on how to save your skin this Summer.

SLIP on clothing, this can be one of the most effective barriers between our skin and the sun. Make sure shoulders are protected as they can burn easily.

SLOP on SPF 30+ Sunscreen, make sure it carries a UVA symbol and apply generously at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.

SLAP on a wide brimmed hat to shield face, neck and ears.

SLIDE on the shades and go for high quality protection, look for the european CE mark which indicates a safe level of protection.

SHADE from the sun where possible, particularly between the hours of 11am-3pm when the sun is at its hottest.

By following these steps above, you’ll be doing all you can to take care of your skin. The safest way you can tan is either a professional spray tan or self tanning. It will give you that golden glow you crave and will have you glowing with confidence. The one thing it won’t give you is skin cancer!

Finally, please do one thing for me, check your moles. If you notice even the slightest change, whether that’s in size, shape, colour, becoming itchy or raised, please go and see your GP. It might just save your life!

Until next time, enjoy your getaway and look after your skin this Summer!

3 Tips To Help Prolong Your Tan

By Leave a Comment

It feels so lovely to be back tanning again, I’ve really missed you all! With Summer holidays still a little uncertain, I thought I would share some top tips on how you can prolong either your spray tan or self tan.

For the best results, it’s definitely all about the preparation. Exfoliate regularly beforehand as this will help to remove all of the dead skin cells. This keeps your skin healthy and bright and creates the perfect base for your tan to be applied.

After around 4-5 days, use a Gradual Self Tan Lotion, my personal favourite is the amazing Sienna X Gradual Self Tan. It allows you to build up your colour gently and is packed full of hydrating ingredients that works wonders for your skin.

Your face will always fade quicker so why not try Sienna X Rose Water. This is really easy to apply and fuss free. Holding 10-15cm away from your face, spritz the mist over your face and neck and allow to air dry.

If self tanning at home isn’t your thing, why not come and see me for a professional spray tan. I honestly believe a spray tan is so much more than a solution being applied to your skin, it’s a mindset game changer. It will have you glowing with confidence and feeling the most beautiful version of yourself.

For more information on any of the products I’ve featured this month or if you would like some advice on how to apply them, please feel free to get in touch. As always, you can leave me a comment below or pop over to my Facebook page and come and say hello.

Now, glow and be you!
