Brazil Bronze Glow Bar has been spray tanning brides for over 15 years.

We take great pride in giving brides that extra glow on their special day. A lot is involved when spray tanning a bride. You want to consider skin tone and texture of the skin, the dress, the groom, how the tan will look in photographs, the wedding location and even their honeymoon vacation.

Lets break it down:

Skin tone and skin texture

A client who is naturally light in skin tone should not typically be sprayed with more than one coat of spray on their face. There are a few reasons for this.

First, your wedding photos are forever. You may love to get a deep dark tan, but for your wedding photos you want to look like “you”. Down the road your taste may change and you may not want to look very dark in your wedding photos 20 years from now.

In addition, a dark tan may look great in person but photos can enhance the color and the result can be much darker than you want to look. You can always add the right amount of color to your face with makeup, so for a bride, we always suggest going lighter on the face. Even if you go darker on the body, having the face lighter will give a more natural look over all.

If your skin is dry, our technician would suggest our Brazil Bronze Anti-Aging Solution. This solution is infused with top beauty ingredients including hyaluronic. This will keep your tan hydrated and keep your tan lasting longer and fade better, more like a natural tan.

If you need a tan before your wedding dress fitting and don’t have a lot of time to wait for your tan to develop, you can try our Brazil Bronze Express Spray Tan Solution (Our Express tan). This develops in 2-4 hours. Our Express solution looks great on all skin tones and will block out any reddish tones on the skin creating a deep olive toned tan.

The Dress
If the bride has an off the shoulder dress or a dress that exposes the arms, shoulders and back. We can gently contour these areas and give the illusion of a more sculpted upper body. You can also request our Brazil Bronze clear tan at our headquarters location at our upper east side location in NYC.

The Groom
We always recommend the groom get a glow along with the bride. Especially if he has light skin. In the photos, its better if both have a glow and usually noticeable if the groom doesn’t. The groom can come in for a full tan, half body or even just a face tan. We have at home products that can be used as well.

Honeymoon
We always recommend not going too dark if you will be in a beach area. Soaking in a pool and salt water will shorten the life of your tan but if you choose a lighter shade, when it fades, it will fade more like a natural tan and not patchy. We spray many people going to beach locations, if done correctly, it’s not an issue. Most people want a little color so they are not pale in their bathing suit. If they go into a pool or the ocean, as the tan fades, they are getting a little color from the sun, so it evens out and serves it’s purpose. If you go too dark, it will fade in patches and ruin your vacation, so a little is more in this scenario. For light skin, a light tan, for olive medium skin, up to a medium tan. this is what we recommend.

Touching Up Your Tan

We have at home products that can be used to extend your tan, create a tan, remove a tan and moisturize your tan. A great product to take on your honeymoon would be our new Travel Size Brazil Bronze Anti-Aging Spray Mist. This is a clear organic and natural mist that comes in a beautiful easy to use pump spray. it is non-aerosol, travel size and meets TSA carry on standards.

We recommend to use before bedtime. A few pumps of the fine mist, rub it in and in the morning you have a beautiful glow. This product was made for people who normally come in for a tan and like to freshen up their face tan before they come in for their next appointment, and also for a person who wouldn’t typically come in for a spray tan. it’s very easy to use, is clear so there is no mess and has anti-aging properties so in addition to giving you a natural glow, you are adding vitamins to the skin and hydrating the skin as well. Check out our commercial with Kevin Harrington of Shark Tank for Brazil Bronze Anti-Aging Spray Tan Mist.

We also have tanning lotions, spray tan moisturizers, tan mousse, spray tan aerosols and spray tan removers.
