Who is ready for Miss America Pageant on Sunday September 13th?
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!
Over the past year, I have really gotten into the pageant world! Superior Spray Tanning was a sponsor of the Miss Frederick pageant and tanned most of the contestants. From there, we sponsored many title holders around Maryland including Miss Frederick and Miss Frederick Teen, Miss Appalachia, Miss Mason Dixon and Miss Carroll County Teen. I was also asked to be a judge for Miss Baltimore Teen pageant. I enjoyed interviewing the different girls and experiencing a pageant from a different angle. I am so glad that the pageant world had moved away from the dangerous tanning bed and onto the safer way to tan for competitions……airbrush spray tanning.
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 before they “check-in” to the pageant, then again the evening before swimsuit/physical fitness and one last one before the final night.
