Lets talk airbrush tans…the good, the bad, & the oh-so-orangey-ugly.
First, what is contouring?
"Contouring" involves the application of darker color to certain areas of my body to create an optical illusion; basically, I spray “shadows” onto your skin to make other parts seem more defined. “It’s all smoke and mirrors,” for example, spraying under your chin to create a “jawline” and applying twin swipes to your face to enhance cheekbones.
You can even get faux muscle definition by asking for
subtle shadows on the perimeter of your abdominal area. I also love to darkened the sides of the torso to give a slimming effect. THIS MAGIC SPRAY CAN FIX JUST ABOUT ANYTHING! LOL!
Now for the 8 golden rules of airbrush tanning!
Lucky for you I’ve compiled a list, & I want to spill out all my secrets, tips/tricks, & knowledge I have right here, right now.
…Drum roll…Get ready…
+ THE 8 GOLDEN RULES for Airbrush Tanning
1. } Choose your location carefully.
Only go somewhere that uses professional airbrush tanning solution. Call up the spa, tanning place, or person you are going to get tanned by, and ask them what brand of solution they are using. Then google it. Yes, I’m serious. Google it. If its not a professional solution do not get sprayed by them. A professional solution=golden brown tan, while an un-professional solutions= ‘Oopma Loopma’ orange. I am extremely picky with the solution I use so I only use Norvell solution in the color Dark. Its perfect every time, on every skin tone.
2.} Schedule.
Once you’ve found the perfect person to get spray tanned by, schedule the tan in advance. This may seem silly & obvious, but it’s a crucial part of the success of your tan. A lot of people get spray tanned for an event, right? Well, depending on the event, and if they have or have not ever gotten spray tanned before, they don’t know how their skin will react. So, get a pre-event spray tan. I would try it one month before your event, vacation, wedding, or pictures, etc…and then monitor yourself each day after you get tanned to see what day you most like the color of your skin. On my skin, my tan looks the best 2 days after I get sprayed. Some people like it best the very next day, and some people like it best four days out….you simply wont know until you try.
3.} Be a Night owl…a tan one.
Get spray tanned at night. I’ll say it again…get spray tanned at night! I schedule all my clients from eight to ten pm, that way they can get airbrushed and go directly home, hop into bed & let the TiVo binge begin. I don’t let them: bathe kids, wash dishes, go dancing, get drinks, nothing! WHY? This is the only way to prevent water damage. Time, and time again, I’ve seen clients leave my house golden brown, then come back two hours later a splotch-fest because their teething 1 year old drooled all over their arm, or the snack lady at their kids soccer game accidentally spilled Gatorade all down their back.
You have to allow six to eight hours for your tan to ‘set’ before getting it wet or it will be uneven. So, eliminate some of your have-to’s during the day, & tan at night.
4.} Prepare.
Prep your skin by exfoliating & shaving in the shower before you get sprayed.
5.} Naked Skin.
Make sure you show up to your appointment with completely clean skin. This means no lotion, no oils, no deodorant, no make-up, no moisturizer, & no perfume…nothin’, nada, zilche. Get it? Got it? Good.
6.} Clothing.
Have you thought about what your going to wear, or not wear, while getting airbrushed? An old swim suit is great, old underwear works, too… naked? Sure, why not!? Its up to you, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Wear, or not wear, whatever makes you most comfortable. My favorite to get tanned in (sense I’m sure your all dying to know) is little underwear…thong or booty shorts…with nothing up top. I like having a line that no one, but me, can see. Also, I like my clients to see the immediate difference too. Instant gratification!
7.} Post Clothing.
Bring looser fitting clothes to your appointment for after you get tanned.
8.} After care & upkeep.
After you’ve waited six to eight hours to shower, its important that when you do shower to use mild soaps and stay away from scrubby brushes and exfoliates. When you get out, pat dry and slather up with baby oil or any other heavy moisturizing lotions. Do this for the next ten days & your tan will be prettier & surely last longer.
There you have it.
Now, here's the kicker, the
Norvell solution I use is actually good for your skin and can cover up a number of sins!!! Stretch marks, spider veins, cellulite... etc etc.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats it. Not only does it apply the most even, natural looking, and raspberry almond scented tan, but its also good for your skin. Yes, I said it! Its good for you! It delivers vitamins and antioxidants into your skin while giving you a golden glow. Too good to be true, right? NOT! try it!
Email or text me to set up an appointment! If you book in the month of Sept it's just $20 and will last 10 days or more! :)
