Hi My Loves,
Who loves getting sprayed?? With TAN ha??
I have a wedding on Thursday and like every girl, I want to be sun kissed.
While getting the bushes on the face seen to on Saturday (that’s the brows by the way) myself and the beautiful Joanne Woods were talking about the new Bellamianta tan that everyone is raving about and she does the spray tan in it, so I said lets do, it I’ll get sprayed because I’m way too lazy to tan myself.
So I thought I would go through my steps the night before getting a spray tan, these steps is what is going to make that tan stick to your hot bod.
Ok so first things first in my opinion, you’re better off having a hot steaming bath rather than a shower.
Exfoliating, if you read my blog post on how to remove Fake tan you will know that I am obsessed with Epsom salts in my bath, if you haven’t got any, buy some it only cost about €4 and it amazing. I put about 2 – 3 big handfuls in and soak in it for 15 – 20 minutes, it will take of any dead skin on your body, then go in with your body exfoliator and scrub yo body like there is no tomorrow.
Shaving or waxing, wax maybe 48 hours before hand or if your shaving 24. Shaving your legs again, best place to do that is in the bath. Do not dry shave your legs this will cause those pesky little red lumps to raise up on your legs and use a shaving gel, a good one I love the men’s shaving gel (because I’m a weirdo).
After shaving I like to soak in the bath for a few more minutes I feel like it helps the skin recover after shaving and leaves your skin that wee bit smoother from the hot water.
After the hot bath the pores on your legs will be open, we need to try and close these. Tanning on top of open pores is what gives you the dark brown spots on the legs. I like to get into the shower and run the shower head down my legs but have it on cold or run an ice pack down my legs. I know it will take your life haha but girls it has to be done as it will help.
Moisturising, Do not moisturise your whole body. Only do your elbows, knees, ankles and hands as the tan tends to get darker in these spots.
Paint your nails and toe nails even if it’s just with a clear polish as the tan can stain your nails.
The morning of your spray tan, do not freshly shower, I never knew this until Joanne told me on Saturday.
Don’t use perfume or deodorant as this can make the tan go green haha and girl we don’t want to be green. Imagine.. Oh dear god.
Make sure you wear light clothing, baggy tracky bottoms, loose fit t – shirt and wear flip flops on your feet.
Hope this is helpful, I will be following my own rules tonight for tomorrow haha Fingers crossed I don’t turn out green.
Super excited tho about trying out the new Bellamianta tan. I will upload before and after pics on Facebook and Instagram and will do a blog post.
If you’re interested after you see my pics and want to get sprayed for your next big event or for the upcoming bank holiday, book in with Joanne in Joanne Woods Beauty Specialist, she is amazing and I know the tan will be amazing. Super excited.
Happy Tanning my loves.

I have tried so many products to get rid of the brown spots on my knees and nothing worked until Skin Lightening Cream Dermalmd Even prescription creams from my doctor and dermatologist didn't work. I have been embarrassed to wear shorts for years. It only took a couple of weeks and my knees look almost normal. I plan to try it on my arms and face next. Love this product
