Miss Maryland Pageant

Getting a Spray Tan for Your Competition

Spray tanning and its many facets is a wonderful way to give your skin a healthy glow while avoiding the harmful UV radiation in tanning beds. How you look onstage is the end result of months of training and preparation for your pageant. Unfortunately, the harsh lights of the stage “wash out” everyone’s skin tone, and highlight flaws, scars, and imperfections. Getting a spray tan as part of your pageant prep will not only even out your skin tone, but will also make your skin look tan and healthy when you are in the    spotlight. To achieve a glow that will withstand harsh stage lighting, make sure you go with a professional spray tan!

Here are  a few spray tanning tips for the perfect pageant spray tan!

Local Pageants

If you are doing a local pageant, definitely get your spray tan a day or two before the pageant. Make sure you wax/shave beforehand and that you get your tan AFTER your manicure, pedicure, massage, or any other spa treatment that might possibly exfoliate the skin.

State Pageants

State pageants are usually a week in length and usually the spray tan you get pre-pageant is not going to last the entire time. Most of the girls get spray tanned the evening before swimsuit/physical fitness and then again before the final night.

Miss Maryland Pageant

Next week, Miss Maryland will be hosting their state pageant in Hagerstown,MD to find the best girl to represent our state in the Miss America Pageant. Good luck to all of my clients that will be competing for the title of Miss Maryland and Miss Maryland Outstanding Teen!

Get Your End-of-School Glow

As soon-to-be graduates prepare for their trip down the auditorium aisle to receive their diplomas, many believe a glowing tan is a must-have accessory. However, the method by which that tan is achieved could mean the difference between bronze skin and a life-threatening disease.

The public is aware that sunburns can be particularly dangerous, but scientific evidence increasingly suggests there’s no such thing as a safe tan — particularly if that tan comes by way of baking in the sun or in a tanning bed.

Graduates who want a sun-kissed look for parties, senior week, graduation and other end-of-school events should consider custom airbrush spray tans  instead of sunbathing or tanning beds.

Superior Spray Tanning offers a Graduation Special for the entire month of June for their graduates to glow during their graduation events!

Tanning with Tattoos

It is always important to protect your skin from sun damage. When you have ink on your body it becomes even more important. A tattoo is a work of art and protecting them from sun damage is a must. Since the ink is in the skin, anything that can change your skin can change your tattoo.

Spray tanning is a great alternative to sun tanning and will help your tattoos stay as bright as the day they were inked. Tanning solutions will not harm tattoos. If you have yellow or light tones, it can temporarily darken the color. The solution will not affect your tattoo, it will just appear tanned. Once your tan fades, your tattoo will be back to normal and the full colors of your tattoo will return. If you have a new tattoo, we recommend you wait until it’s fully healed before having a spray tan. If you have been spray tanned, wait until your tan has completely worn off before you choose to be inked. You want your tattoo artist to have the best canvas possible!

Some of our (tattooed) client’s opinion on spray tanning……

“I can’t tan out in the sun. I just burn. And I don’t want to ruin my tattoos. I’ve spent too much money and hours to ruin them because I want a tan. I’ve learned to embrace my porcelain skin. But with getting a spray tan, I know it’s a healthier way to have a golden glow and it keeps my tattoos looking bright no matter what! Spray tans haven’t dis-colored my tattoos in any way. I highly recommend getting spray tans if you have tattoos.”

“I’ve always loved how much of a solid color my spray tans give me. After getting my sleeve done I was pretty nervous my tattoo might look dull/faded, as it has a lot of color. Thankfully, it didn’t at all!! My tattoo is still just as vibrant and full of color. I’m SO glad it works like that, because I’m extremely pale and would burn to a crisp if I tried anything other than spray tanning.”

As always, continue to practice safe sun! Wear sunblock and stay away from UV rays!!

Why should I shave 24 hours before a spray tan?

When people are preparing for their spray tan, the first thing they think of is “I have to shave my legs before I go”. The answer is, if you are within 24 hours of your appointment, DO NOT SHAVE. You need to make sure you shave or waxed 24 hours before your spray tan so you give your pores enough time to close up properly before you get your spray tan. If you shave the day of your spray tan, the bronzer will get lodged in your pores and give your legs a freckly look. Some of it will come out after the first shower, but not all.

Bring on 2017

Superior Spray Tanning had an amazing year in 2016 and we can’t wait to see what 2017 brings us! We loved being apart of our brides special day and helping them glow as they walked down the aisle. We enjoyed seeing many of our clients get crowned as some of our local pageant title holders in the Miss America Organization.  During the spring, it was so much fun celebrating  important moments with our high school clients for prom and graduation. And we always enjoy catching up with our regular clients throughout the year and love meeting the new ones! We hope that you enjoyed your spray tan(s) in 2016 and hope to see all of you back in 2017.

Happy New Year!
