Your Best Tan

It is that time of year where everyone craves that sun-kissed glow. I know I love it! I feel like I look skinner and my eyes pop more and spring colors look better on me. Anyway, my mother is the type that reminds me that I need to take care of my skin. So I figured spray on tans were the best bet for me. BUT I have seen some spray on tans that have looked so bad I want to give the recipients "I'm Sorry" cards. However, a bit ago I interned with a bridal magazine and I had to do a piece on tanning. I found the best place! Its called Bella Tanning Salon. They do an AMAZING job! Anyway, here is the article I did on it. If you need a healthy tan, give them a try!

First I made an appointment online.

 (You can call, but online is just so much easier!)

Then I picked the tan I wanted, I went with the “full body” but there are a couple of other options.

The options include a simple “face tan”, “half body”, and if you want to get really fancy try the “contour tan”.

The “contour tan” highlights your muscles and makes you look like a lean mean bronze machine.

After you choose your tan the lovely people from Bella send directions on what to do the day before to make your tan stay extra long.

The steps are pretty simple.

You need to exfoliate your body really well, and use a regular washcloth to get all that dry skin off.

Besides exfoliating make sure you soak in a warm bath for 20 minutes, shave your legs, and use A LOT of lotion.

(I basically bathed in lotion, but my tan stayed for a little over a week!)

The next day I went to the Salon, where the owner of the salon, Amanda, greeted me as if I was an old friend.

Then she took me back to the “air-brush room”.

Some people go topless, but I was more comfortable wearing some clothes.

She came back in after I was all situated and made a perfect air-brush color for my skin tone.

After finding the perfect color for me, Amanda sprayed away!

Unlike those awkward spray tan machines, Amanda sprayed everywhere and sprayed evenly so it looked like an actual tan.

The actually airbrush process did not take very long, it took about 15-20 minutes.

Then I dried myself off with a blow dryer and Amanda sent me on my way!

It took a couple of hours for the tan to fully show but when it did...

WOW! I loved it!

I got getting comments like:

“Your skin looks nice and tan.”

“Have you been laying out?”

“Your tan looks really good... what have you been doing?”

And who doesn’t love compliments?

BUT remember, after you get your tan stay AWAY from the water for at least 8 hours.

Amanda suggest you take an attitude to water like the Wicked Witch of the West would...but after 8 hours its fine to shower again.

Now, I know all the steps I mentioned may seem a bit overwhelming, but trust me it is totally worth it.

And I can tell you one thing...

I definitely will be going back!
