At Merse Wellness Spa, we deeply understand the desire for that perfect, sun-kissed glow, especially when celebrating life’s milestones. Our spray tanning services are designed to provide you with a stunning, natural-looking tan, free from the risks of traditional sunbathing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Spray Tanning is Safe and Quick: A great alternative to sunbathing, avoiding harmful UV rays.
  • Customisable Shades: Tailor your tan to suit your skin tone and the occasion.
  • Instant Results: Achieve a natural-looking tan in just one session.
  • Long-Lasting: Enjoy your glowing skin for up to a week.
  • Perfect for Photos: Look your best in photographs with even, streak-free coverage.

Why Choose Spray Tanning for Your Big Event? 

Spray tanning has become a popular choice for those seeking a healthy glow without the risks of UV exposure. According to the Australian Skin Cancer Clinics, avoiding UV rays from the sun and tanning beds is crucial in reducing skin cancer risk. This makes spray tanning an ideal option. Why it’s ideal for your particular event is as follows:

  1. Quick and Convenient: Unlike sunbathing, a spray tan can be achieved in a short appointment, making it perfect for busy schedules.
  2. Customisable Shades: Spray tanning offers a variety of tones to fit your preference, whether you’re looking for a deep tan or a light glow.
  3. Even, Streak-Free Application: Professional application ensures an even, natural-looking tan without the streaks or patches often associated with self-tanning products.
  4. Safe and Skin-Friendly: With no UV exposure, spray tanning is a safer alternative, reducing the risk of premature ageing and skin damage.

Preparing for Your Spray Tan 

To ensure the best results, a bit of preparation is key. Here are some tips to get your skin ready for its golden glow:

  • Exfoliate: Remove dead skin cells for a smoother application. Focus on areas like elbows and knees that tend to be dryer. For tips on effective exfoliation, especially before a spray tan, check out this helpful guide on Elle.
  • Avoid Moisturisers and Deodorants: These can create a barrier on your skin and affect the tan’s application.
  • Wear Loose Clothing: After your appointment, wear loose clothing to avoid rubbing off the tan.

Post-Tan Care 

Maintaining your spray tan is just as important as the preparation. Here’s how to maintain its amazing appearance:

  • Stay Dry: Avoid water and sweating for a few hours post-application.
  • Moisturise Regularly: Keeping your skin hydrated will help prolong the life of your tan.
  • Gentle Skincare: Avoid exfoliating or harsh skincare products that can strip the tan.
