FAQ's & GLOW TIPS:

WHEN SHOULD I GET MY BRONZED GLOW FOR MY WEDDING OR EVENT?
We recommend 2 days prior for the best result, but the day before will also be fine. This allows the sufficient time for the cosmetic bronzer to leave the skin and not leave marks on your dress. We recommend booking a trial bronzed glow at least 2 weeks (minimum) before your wedding/event to ensure you’re happy with the colour, natural looking tans are always a winner!
WILL I GO ORANGE?
No way! The Bellabronze tanning solution was created to enhance the natural skin tone, minus the ginger ninja glow. Before I get you glowing, we will have a consultation to find the perfect colour for your wants, needs, event location, outfit & skin tone! You’ll leave with a glow from the inside out that’s natural and created just for you. Please repeat after me “my tanner knows best” I must shower when she says so …Hehe!
HOW LONG WILL MY BRONZED GLOW LAST?
7 - 10 days if you look after it. Using the Bellabronze gradual tanner every other day to a moisturiser will prolong your tan. Hydration is key as when your dry skin flakes, it takes your beautiful bronze with it. 5 - 7 days if you don’t moisturise and leave your tan to fade on its own. Be mind full that long showers, dips in the pool or saunas will decrease your longevity. As mentioned, using the Bellabronze gradual tanner every other day will help you get maximum results. Drink at least 2 lites of water daily!
HOW TO PREP FOR MY BRONZED GLOW?
EXFOLIATION IS KEY!! At the end of thelifeof your bronzed glow, its time to say goodbye! The My Glow 2 Mitt will be your bestie! It does such a great job at exfoliating that we always recommend you use it prior to getting your bronzed glow done. No one likes snake looking skin so always make sure you exfoliate prior to getting your glow done with your exfoliating mitt removing any dead skin is key to an even, glowing tan, 6-12 hours prior or the night before is best. Arrive at your appointment with NO moisturiser, make up on or deodorant on. We do have wipes available if you need.
HOW LONG WILL MY APPOINTMENT TAKE?
You will be bronzed in minutes!!! In and out in around the 15-minute mark. We are here for a good time and not a long time, so you can press on with your busy (or relaxing) day.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
You are normally in your bronzedglowanywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours. Tan Solution normally washes off all clothing however we do recommend wearing loose, cotton or similar is best, dark clothing so you do not rub your fresh glow. A range of tanning dresses are also available to purchase at the salon. You can wear your own underwear, a g-string or nothing at all. The choice is yours and whatever you are comfortable with is fine with us! Prior to you stepping into the spray booth, we supply hair nets, disposable G-strings, make up wipes for removal of any makeup or deodorant. Face masks & hair ties are all free of charge if required. If it’s raining, make sure you are covered up, think oversize winter pyjamas. No one wants to be looking like a leopard. We do however have under-cover parking at the front of our salon. Woohoo!
AFTER YOUR BRONZED GLOW – THAT FRESH TAN FEEL!
Try not to do too much. Avoid water - so no washing dishes! the best thing to do is relax and marinate for a few hours before showering.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET A SPLASH OF WATER ON ME OR SOME RUBBING FROM MY CLOTHING?
Dab with a dry towel and then use a blush brush or Kabuki brush and blend the area. As long as the area is blended, your tan will develop fine.
CAN I USE BELLABRONZE PRODUCTS WHEN PREGNANT?
Absolutely, spray tanning is safe for pregnant women. Every woman, body, skin and pregnancy are different, so we do always ask you to check with your GP prior if unsure.
HOW DO I WASH OFF MY BRONZED GLOW?
Have a shower until the water runs clear, NO soap, bodywash or washing your hair in the first shower. If you see any run marks when you step out of the shower it means you have not rinsed properly, please return to the shower and rinse again, do not moisturise at this stage your bronzed glow is still developing It’s important to note that you will see little to no colour after your first shower. This is completely normal as all tans takes 24-48 hours to fully develop. After initial application you may decide a darker or lighter result is required - please let us know for next time. We suggest extending the time slowly, so perhaps try an extra hour or 2 next time.
