Top Tips for Summer Photoshoots: Achieve a Flawless Glow with My Spray Tanning Tips

Summer photoshoots capture the vibrant energy and warmth of the season, making them a favorite for many. A flawless spray tan can help you look radiant and confident in front of the camera. Here are my special tips to ensure your spray tan enhances your summer photoshoot perfectly.

Special Tips for Your Summer Photoshoot

1. Schedule Your Tan Wisely

   • Book your spray tan 2-3 days before your photoshoot. This allows the color to settle and look its best.

2. Natural Lighting

   • Take advantage of natural sunlight during your shoot. A spray tan looks most natural and vibrant in sunlight, highlighting your sun-kissed glow.

3. Complementary Colors

   • Wear clothing colors that complement your tan and enhance your overall look. Whites, pastels, and bright colors can make your tan pop.

   • Tip: Use Colorwise.me to upload photos of yourself and see which colors suit you best. This tool helps you select wardrobe colors that accentuate your beauty and ensure you look stunning in every shot.

4. Bring Touch-Up Products

   • Keep a small amount of a quick-drying body bronzer handy for any emergency touch-ups during the shoot.

   • Recommended Product: Island Glow Body Bronzer – This instant quick-drying body bronzer provides an exotic, shimmery glow without streaking or rubbing off. It’s perfect for same-day touch-ups to maintain your bronze glow.

5. Hydrate Your Skin

   • Keeping your skin moisturized is key to maintaining your tan. A good moisturizer will prevent your skin from drying out and your tan from fading prematurely.

   • Recommended Product: Moorea Moisturizer

6. Highlight Naturally

   • Use a powder illuminator on your cheekbones, brow bones, and the inner corners of your eyes to create a natural, radiant glow.

   • Recommended Product: Powder Illuminator – This illuminator delivers a natural radiance and multi-dimensional luminosity.

7. Stay Cool and Fresh

   • Keep blotting papers and a facial mist handy to stay fresh during the shoot. Blotting papers help control shine, while a facial mist can refresh your makeup and cool you down.

   • Recommended Product: NYX Professional Makeup Blotting Papers – Oil-absorbing blotting papers to keep your skin shine-free.

8. Comfortable Footwear

   • Wear comfortable shoes to the shoot location and change into your photo-ready footwear once you arrive. This ensures you can move around easily without discomfort.

   • Recommended Product: A stylish, comfortable pair of shoes for walking and a photo-ready pair for the shoot.

Essential Pre-Tan and Post-Tan Care

To ensure your spray tan looks its best and lasts throughout your photoshoot, follow these essential pre-tan and post-tan care tips.

1. Pre-Tan Preparation

   • Exfoliate Thoroughly: Exfoliate your entire body 24 hours before your spray tan appointment to remove dead skin cells and ensure an even application.

     • Recommended Product: Bora Bora Body Polish

   • Shave or Wax Ahead of Time: Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment to avoid irritation and ensure your skin is smooth.

   • Avoid Lotions and Perfumes: On the day of your spray tan, avoid using lotions, perfumes, deodorants, or makeup as these can create barriers on your skin and affect the tan’s absorption.

2. Post-Tan Care

   • Wear Loose, Dark Clothing: After your spray tan, wear loose, dark clothing to avoid staining and allow the tan to develop evenly.

   • Stay Dry: Avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing for at least 8 hours after your spray tan to ensure the color develops properly.

   • First Shower: When you shower for the first time after your spray tan, use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing your skin. Gently pat your skin dry with a towel.

   • Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin moisturized to prolong the life of your tan and maintain a healthy glow.

     • Recommended Product: Moorea Moisturizer

   • Avoid Exfoliating Products: Avoid using exfoliating products and harsh soaps as they can strip your tan prematurely.
