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!

First Time Spray Tan? Here’s All You Need To Know…

By Leave a Comment

We all know that feeling a tan gives us, somehow life just feels that little bit better. I’ve been spray tanning for over five years and truly believe that it’s so much more than just a coloured solution being applied to your skin. It’s a mindset game changer and not only improves the appearance of your skin, it makes you feel happier, more confident and slimmer! What’s not to love?

However if you are new to spray tanning,  I completely understand that the thought of getting semi naked  in front of a complete stranger, mastering the “moves” and getting to grips with sticky feet can feel like a daunting experience. But I promise you, the results will be so worth it and I’m here to guide you through everything you need to know…

It all starts with the preparation! This is key and will help you get the very best from your tan, by exfoliating regularly to remove all those dead skin cells prior to your tanning appointment, you will create the perfect base for your tan to be applied.

At your tanning appointment, be completely natural. Remove all jewellery, moisturiser, deodorant and perfume. We will go through a full consultation to ensure the right solution is picked for you and your skin tone. Also, don’t be afraid to tell me your story, is your tan for a special occasion? How well do you tan in the sun naturally? All of this information will help me create a beautiful, bespoke tan just for you.

When it comes to taking your clothes off, it’s completely normal to feel apprehensive, nervous and vulnerable. However, I will do all I can to put you at ease. I will ask you you to step on to self adhesive pads (known as sticky feet) to avoid any tan being transferred to the soles of your feet. I will then apply barrier cream to specific areas to avoid the tan being too heavily absorbed. I’ll take you through step by step each of the moves to ensure that you have a tan you’ll feel proud to wear.

Once your tan has been applied, we will discuss all of the aftercare and I’ll share some tanning tips with you to ensure that you get the very best from your tan for as long as possible.

All that remains for you to do whilst your tan is developing is absolutely nothing! To get the best results, wear loose fitting clothes, keep cool and relax!

In the meantime, be the beautiful you!

Why I Would Love To Do Strictly…

By 4 Comments

As soon as Strictly Come Dancing begins, the countdown to Christmas is on! So, this month I wanted to share exactly why I would love to do Strictly!

Now, when I say I would love to do it, I don’t mean I would like to take part in the actual show itself! Firstly, I am not a dancer and secondly I’m not a celebrity, therefore these would be two of the main attributes for the show, that I appear to be missing!

No, when I say I would love to do Strictly, I mean I would love to spray tan for Strictly! Now don’t get me wrong, this isn’t because I am a huge fan of any celebrity in particular. For me, this is all about the atmosphere, I bet it’s electric! It’s no secret that tanning is something that I am super passionate about and if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I often talk about how I love the way a spray tan can not only enhance how someone looks, but more importantly how they feel too! I truly believe that a tan is so much more than a solution being applied to the skin, it’s a mindset game changer!

I’m also a great believer in dreams, because without them, what do we have? Sometimes, we just to have to dream big, keep the faith and trust that everything will happen just as it’s meant to. I think Walt Disney sums this up perfectly; “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Walt Disney himself was living proof of this! Did you know that prior to him becoming a extremely talented animator and amusement park creator, he had had to file for bankruptcy? Oprah Winfrey got fired from her role as a news reporter before she became one of the most famous talk show hosts in the world. J.K Rowling received many rejections for Harry Potter books before her first one was finally published in 1997.

Just for a second, imagine if these three individuals had decided to give up on their dreams? A world without Walt Disney, Oprah and Harry Potter!

My final question; what are your dreams? I’ve told you mine and would love you to leave me a comment below and tell me yours…x

Until next time, let’s go and chase our dreams!

Love,
