Glamour Spray Tans

Leavers season has commenced! Look your bess by obtaining a health natural glow, with a Glamour Spray Tan.

If all goes well🤞, we now have a predicted reopening date. Let’s all play our part and kick this virus 🦠!

We can’t wait to see you all again!💕

I hope everyone is well. We are patiently anticipating our reopening. Fingers crossed it’s not too far away 🤞

We can’t wait to get back into the swing of things.

At this stage we are taking interest for bookings...

Aftercare is extremely important!

Aftercare advice:
Let your tan set for at least 7-8 hours (overnight if possible) before showering or taking a bath. This allows your tan to develop.
Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session in order to allow the tan to develop properly on your feet.
Avoid applying moisturizers or deodorants.
Avoid wearing tight clothing for at least 5 hours. This includes tighter-fitting jeans, bras, spandex, tight blouses and shoes/socks.
All swimming, showering and vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 5 hours as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan.
Do not shave for 12 hours after your treatment.
Beware wearing long boots after tanning as these can make your tan patchy on your legs.

Remember:
When you take a shower or a bath you will probably see some color wash off. Don’t worry. This is quite normal as it is only the color guide that the spray tan technician uses when the tan is applied. You will be left with a gorgeous tan.

3 Reasons to Get a Spray Tan:

1. A Spray Tan Can Increase Your Confidence

There are so many reasons to get a spray tan (and some misconceptions), but an increase in confidence is the best reason I can give you. Not only do I look better, but I feel better knowing that I’m not super pale.

Confidence is the over-arching theme of this post, because all of the other benefits add up to helping improve my confidence levels. So if you’re looking for a quick (albeit superficial) boost, this is it!

2. A Spray Tan Hides Your Acne

I prefer to spray tan and cover my blemishes, which works well enough for me! It basically hides all the little ones, and darkens the pigment of my skin so that anything red tends to blend better.

2. You Can Wear Shorts and Skirts with a Spray Tan

Whether it’s actually summer or it’s any other time of year, I can wear whatever I want and look my best. My legs look more toned, and I can wear even more colors.

3. You Will Look More Toned with a Spray Tan

You’ve heard the phrase ‘if you can’t tone it, tan it,’ right? Wellll… it’s something I have definitely considered! You obviously can’t really give yourself more muscles by spray tanning, but you can improve your look of toning! I know my legs which are decently muscular tend to look even more so when I’m tan!

By making your resolutions realistic, there is a greater chance that you will keep them throughout the year, incorporating healthy behavior into your everyday life.

We’d love to know your New Years resolutions for 2020. Tell us here :)

PRE-CARE AND POST-CARE FOR SPRAY TANS
1. Book your tan to be applied 1-2 days before your event for the best results. Express tans can be booked for same day events, however only select these if time is a factor as they tend not to last as long.
2. If you have never used self tan products before (these can be professional or home tans) or Glamour Spray Tan’s, we recommend a test patch 48 hours prior. We apply a small amount of the self tan product with a cotton bud to the inner crease of the elbow or behind the ear and leave to dry. If any contra-actions occur such as redness, swelling, inflammation or itching, avoid using the product as this is a positive reaction for sensitivity. If no reaction occurs then it is considered fine to proceed with the full body application.
3. If you wax, please do so at least 48-72 hrs prior to your tan application.
4. If you shave, please do so the night before your tan application, and apply a good quality hydrating moisturiser afterwards (remembering to wash this off before your tan appointment - see point 6).
5. Use a loofah or mitt to thoroughly exfoliate the skin prior to your tan appointment (complete this in the shower you have on the day of your appointment).
6. Avoid applying moisturiser, lotions or body scrubs that leave an oily residue on the day of your appointment. These will act as an inhibitor to the tan and may negatively affect the final result.
7. Bring dark coloured, light weight and loose clothing to wear after your tan to avoid marking light clothing, or rubbing the tan off, and to feel most comfortable. A strapless bra or bathing suit is recommended to protect rubbing in the shoulder area, especially if you are wearing a strapless dress to an upcoming event.
8. The spray tan formula contains a makeup style bronzer as an application guide. This will wash off in your first and second shower. Don't be concerned if the tan looks uneven after application, any excess bronzer will wash off when you shower, leaving an even tan.
9. Leave the tan on for 1-5 hours to develop before showering, or overnight for the deepest, longest lasting colour.
10. Remember to sleep on dark sheets to avoid marking bedding.
11. Have light, cooler showers if you wish to maximise tan longevity.
12. Moisturise daily to preserve the tan for the longest time. For an extra colour boost, try Three Warriors Gradual Tan, a moisturiser with a hint of tan.
13. Wear SPF sunblock every day - self tan does not offer any sun protection.
14. To help the tan fade evenly, exfoliate every 3 days with a tan-specific exfoliant. We recommend Three Warriors Body Scrub, available at MISS FOX which will lightly buff the tan to refresh it.
15. Use a tan remover mitt when you are ready to remove the tan, generally after 7-10 days.

HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR SPRAY TANS
None of the active ingredients in Glamour Spray Tan’s have any known toxicity. The main ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (or DHA for short) is a colourless sugar that interacts with the amino acids in the surface layer of the skin to produce a temporary colour change. This ingredient is combined with Erythrulose, a naturally moisturising ingredient derived from raspberries, that works in the same way as DHA but it develops more slowly, giving you a smoother colour that lasts longer and fades evenly. Spray Tans only work upon the uppermost layers of the skin and is therefore deemed suitable to use during pregnancy, however be aware that hormonal changes during pregnancy (especially during the first 3 months) may affect the development of the tan. Do not apply to the breast area if breastfeeding.

TANNING & HOLIDAYS
Heading off to a tropical island or relaxing resort? Whether you’re reclining on a deck chair or lying on the beach, you’ll want to look your best.
Many clients ask if you can still get a sun tan underneath your spray tan – and the answer is, yes you can! A spray tan is ideal for tiding you over while you’re in the process of getting a tan, avoiding that awkward ‘just arrived on the beach’ glare.
Here is our best advice for getting and maintaining the perfect resort tan.

BEFORE YOU GO
It’s best to get your tan on the last night before you head off, so that it lasts for as long as possible.
Make sure your skin is in the idea condition, by shaving or waxing the day before your spray tan, exfoliating all over, and showering away any deodorant, makeup or moisturizer
Pop some and into your suitcase.

WHILE YOU’RE AWAY
Apply (moisturizer name) after every shower
Top up your tan with (classic self tanner)
Avoid chlorinated pools and spas or have a shower straight afterwards – chlorine will whiten your tan
Stay out of the sauna
Have fun on the beach! As the beach is a natural environment, it won’t affect your tan at all, so make the most of it!

WHAT TO WEAR DURING YOUR SPRAY TAN
When you get your spray tan, you WILL get solution on whatever you are wearing in the booth. When I spray, I try not to go over the clothes and just mainly stick to the skin. But sometimes, the solution does get on the clothes. Most of it does wash out. I’ve had clothes covered in solution before and I never had any solution stain the clothing. What I recommend doing is going in with something that is older and if you get sprayed a lot, you don’t mind some solution getting on it. As far as how much clothing you should wear for your appointment, that is totally up to the client. I have a lot of clients go topless and just wear bottoms. I also have a lot who want to wear a top. If you do wear a top, I always make sure it’s low enough or covering the right parts of the skin, so you don’t show tan lines in whatever you are wearing. If you want to wear straps on your top during your session, go right ahead! We want to make sure the client feels comfortable, and would never make them take off clothes they do not want too.
What to wear after your spray tanning session:
SIMPLE…..dark, loose fitting clothes! Emphasis on LOOSE FITTING!! The reason I say dark, is because if you plan on going out after your spray tan or wear a light color, you will see some of the bronzer rub off onto the clothes. Again, it washes out! You want to make sure whatever you are putting on does not hug the skin too tight. If your clothes are too tight, it can rub the tan right off. It’s best to wear loose sweat pants and a loose t-shirt or sweatshirt. Absolutely NO jeans, socks, or leggings. Wait until after your first initial shower to wear these. Ladies, I also recommend to keep your bra straps down after your session. If you keep them up, you will cause tan lines on the shoulders.

Most clients like to get their spray tans at night, so when they are done, they dry a little and hop right into bed. Just to play it safe, I always have my “Spray tanning sheets” on the bed for the night of my tan. The sheets are dark so if I do get any solution on them, it won’t be noticeable and you can wash it right out. I like to wear sweat pants and a long t-shirt to bed. You want to make sure you don’t wear something to heavy that will cause you to sweat. Sweating after a spray tan is not good!!

I hope I was able to answer any questions about what to wear during and after your spray tanning session. Just remember, loose fitting for after and whatever you feel comfortable wearing during your spray tan.
