Your wedding is a very important event in your life! An event that you, your loved one, your family and friends will remember for a lifetime.
You want to look your absolute best on your special day, so you work out, eat healthy and schedule hair appointments and make up appointments for the big day.
However, the thing that will help you look your best is sometimes forgotten.
Brides often forget to get an airbrush tan or apply a sunless tanning lotion before their wedding day.
Remembering to visit your local salon for a spray tan or schedule a mobile airbrush tan technician to come over is the key to having a healthy bronze glow.
The beautiful, sun kissed color that results from the session will look gorgeous in pictures and in person.
Read the tips below to ensure you have the perfect bronze color for your wedding.
1.
Do a practice run a few weeks before Schedule a practice run a few weeks before your wedding.
The practice run will help you make sure that you are using the right person, the right shade and the right amount of sunless tan solution.
2.
Exfoliate the day of your sunless tan Exfoliate the day of the spray tan or airbrush tan so that you skin is fresh.
Don't be too harsh, for best results lightly exfoliate your skin with a water-based sunless tanning scrub.
3.
Shave or wax the day before your appointment Don't wait to shave or wax that day.
Shaving the day of your sunless tan may result in little dots on your legs.
It is best to shave the day before your appointment, so that your hair follicles have time to recover.
4.
Give yourself plenty of time to dry post spray tan Although it may seem as if the airbrush tan solution dries immediately, don't rush to put your clothes back on.
It is best to give the solution a few minutes to sit on your skin before getting dressed.
This will help eliminate the chances that your new tan will rub off on your clothes and will also help avoid any marks from tight bra straps or pants.
5.
Plan your day to allow for no water, sweat or tight fitting clothes If you are on a tight schedule the week of your wedding, make sure to plan your day out so that you can avoid water, sweat or tight fitting clothes.
Do not schedule a manicure or pedicure for after your appointment and do not work out after your sunless tan, both of these activities will cause streaking.
6.
Shower in between sunless tanning and wearing your wedding dress To avoid any sunless solution coming off on your wedding dress, you should shower in between the tan and putting your dress on.
The shower will remove any excess solution on the surface of your skin, so you don't have to worry about the color showing up on your gorgeous dress.
