South Coast Glow

Hi all - I ran across this question today on Yahoo! Questions about Spray Tanning and Tattoos and thought I'd address it with this blog post... So here goes!

"I have a tattoo booked up for this Saturday, i'm either getting a pink lily or a purple daisy on my stomach/hip area. (please dont be telling me that's a stupid idea because it's in remembrance of my grandfather). Anyway I live in England, and it's hard to tan naturally over here, so in the summer I do use spray tan quite often. Would the colours of the tattoo darken and go weird if I sprayed over the tattoo? It's my first tattoo so don't call me dumb lol :} thanks!"

Well, the short answer is no. A spray tan is just going to dampen the color a bit, not cover it or change the color. I've had more than a few clients worried that their tattoo may look weird after a spray tan, but rest assured it will still look normal. The trick is to blot on and around the tattoo after the spray tan is still wet. Your spray tan technician should be doing this for you!

As always, email me if you have any questions!

Some occasions demand for you to look your absolute best, and nothing short of perfection will do. That is why if you are getting married, going to a prom or have some other, important function that you need to look great for, you want to be sure that your spray tan turns out amazing.

There are few steps that you can take to ensure that your tan looks amazing on your big day:

1. If you have never had a spray tan before, it is important to do a test run a few weeks before the big day. Since you haven't had a spray tan before, you can't be sure how your skin will react to the solution. This test allows you and your South Coast Glow spray tan technician to figure out the best level of color for your skin type to ensure that you look your best!
2. Don't go too dark. You want the attention to be on you and not your tan! The spray tan should compliment how great you look, adding just a little "glow".
3. Take extra care in your preparation before the final tan. Be sure to exfoliate thoroughly with the proper products. Be sure to ask your spray tan technician if you have any questions about prep or care for your spray tan, or visit our FAQ page for more tips
4. Buy a South Coast Glow tan extender kit and learn how to use it to prolong your tan. Believe me, on the days immediately before your wedding, and straight after, you will have (many) other things on your mind other than taking care of your tan!
5. Make sure that you have your spray tan done at the same salon, by the same technician using the same solution as during your trial (if you liked it, of course). Our spray tan technicians take note of the color used during your trial run so there won't be any confusion if you don't remember what the technician used last time.

A spray tan for wedding, prom or any other special occasion is a wonderful idea and will give you that extra boost of confidence!

The cost and effort is very small when compared to the fabulous benefits.

"Millions of people around the globe turn to the art of spray tanning each year to ensure they maintain their sun-kissed look regardless of the weather outside. Until recently, sunbeds were the most popular form of getting an all over tan however recent studies have shown that the overuse of sunbeds can pose as many health risks to the skin as sitting in the sun all day does. Hence the increasing popularity of spray tan"

Hi Haley

WOW!!! You and South Coast Glow are amazing! I have never self-tanned before, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the experience was nothing short of amazing! You are a true professional, you took the time to explain the process, before and after results and the do’s and don’ts of self-tanning.

My results, in my opinion & the opinion of everyone I have come in contact with since (I can’t stop bragging about you) have been unbelievable. I felt very comfortable during our session and have and will continue to recommend your services. Congratulations!!!

Thanks again, I’m on day 11 and I’m just now starting to fade, time for another appointment!
