Bridal Tanning 101

Your big day is right around the corner and we want to help you look and feel your best. When you book your Shady Tan, let your Personal Tanner know it's for your wedding- this allows us to be prepared with the best options for you.

Many brides want a sun-kissed glow for their wedding, especially against a white or ivory dress. Here are some top tips for the perfect wedding spray tan.

Exfoliate two - three times per week starting a few months before your wedding day. We suggest using a light oil-based exfoliant (like Shady Polish in Ocean Citrus) to get rid of dead skin cells and keep your skin hydrated.

Keep your skin is healthy and hydrated! A few months before your wedding, make sure you are drinking lots of water and moisturizing once or twice a day. This will help you keep your Shady Tan longer and look more radiant. Just make sure to avoid lotions that contain alcohol or mineral oils, as they tend to dry out the skin and leave a layer of invisible film.
Make sure to have any waxing done before your spray tan appointment. Doing this afterward can make lead to discoloration and blotchy patches.
We suggest booking a trial appointment, before your bachelorette party is always a fun excuse. Since we offer many different types shad ranges, this is a great way to find the one that's right for your skin and dress.
