​

Olá, my loves! I’m Karina, the Brazilian heart and hands behind Personal Tanner — your local glow-maker, confidence booster and spray-tan addict (both doing it and being tanned!).

I came to Australia in 2005 for “six months”… and stayed. Three kids, a whole life, and tanning since 2015, Personal Tanner has become my happy place — and for so many of you, too.

I started this business because a tan makes you feel something. It lifts you, wakes you up, gives you that “I can handle my life again!” spark. I wanted to give that feeling to every woman who walks through my door.

I’m known for:
Choosing the exact right colour for your skin
Teaching you proper prep & aftercare (yes, exfoliate twice!)
Making sure you never 
- obsessive hydration, fast warm showers, and the correct bloody body wash
- testing every single product on myself before I sell it

Behind the scenes, I’m a shy-but-funny Brazilian mum who loves Shiraz, hates running but does it anyway, misses her family deeply, loves chocolate with gooey caramel, and sometimes still thinks she’s 25 (until the party hurts the next day).

Personal Tanner is more than a tan — it’s a community, a warm hug, a place to feel beautiful again.
I’m so grateful you’re here.

Com amor,
Karina , Your Personal Tanner
