Air-Tanning for that big day/event? We are bustin' the Myths

Looking for a healthy glow on your wedding day? Who isn’t? Whether you have ever had an Air-Tan or not, you may have some questions about how to fit Air-Tan into your wedding day....

I highly recommend coming in for a “test” Air-Tan before your big day. We all like our tans on different days. For example, I like my tan best the 2nd day I have it. Some people like it best on the 1st day. Some people like it on the 3rd day...A “test” tan will help you decide what day you like yours best on, and help you in making your appointment for your big day.

Another great reason to do a “test” tan is to help you decide what color level you like best. I get my Air-Tan every week and 99% of the time I decide on a Level 3. However, before the last wedding I was in, I did my “test” tan for the bachelorette party. When I looked back on pictures from the party, I decided a Level 2 would work better for me on for the actual wedding day.

Myth : I’ll just go to the tanning bed because I don’t want self-tanner to get on my white dress.

Truth: Don’t risk getting burnt in a tanning bed! The only thing that could stain your dress is the bronzer that you see when you get your Air-Tan. The bronzer washes off in the first shower, so as long as you shower and get it all off, there is nothing that will stain your dress.

Myth: I don’t want to look like Snooki on my wedding day. I don’t want to be orange.

Truth: Air-Tan will never make you orange and you don’t have to look like Snooki. We have five color levels so you can choose one as light (or as dark) as you would like.

Myth: I want to come in for two consecutive spray tans before my big day. I want it to be dark and layered so it looks good for the big day.

Truth: Spray tans don’t need to be applied in layers. This actually makes the tan uneven and possibly orange in areas. You always want to make sure your old spray tan is completely exfoliated off of your skin before you have a new tan applied.

Myth: I want to come in on the day before my wedding so my tan looks really dark on my big day.

Truth: Are you having a rehearsal/rehearsal dinner? After you get sprayed, you will feel sticky until your next shower and you cannot apply any liquid (makeup, lotion, etc.) to your skin at all for 8 hours. Also, the bronzer, which gives you the instant color you see when you leave Air-Tan, can rub off on clothing. You will definitely want to shower before you do anything in your Air-Tan. It will help you get the sticky feeling off of your skin, allow you to put on whatever makeup you choose (liquid OR powder), and it will wash away the bronzer so none gets on your clothing. I highly recommend coming in the day before any big events like rehearsal/rehearsal dinners so you can be tan and worry-free. :)

Myth: My husband thinks Air-Tans are for women, so he’s just going to go to the tanning bed.

Truth: We have tons of guys that come to Air-Tan too! Looking good and feeling good isn’t just for women! It also looks better in pictures, when you BOTH have some color. Bring him with you and save him time, money, and his health!

Did any of these help? If you have a specific question, comment away :)
