This is a tricky question and a hard one to decide. It could go either way, good or very bad. We are usually pretty good here in Australia protecting ourselves from getting sunburned but sometimes it happens for all different reasons. Us, tanners, would recommend only tanning after about 3 weeks if you have a sunburn, to get a tan. That is really the time skin needs to heal. I have tanned many times skin that have gone through a sunburn and most of them were completely fine b

Just at the reception the other day, I was chatting to this lovely lady that I just met and we were talking about tanning and she said she wasn't much of a tanning person. I said not many people are. Then she told me one of the episodes of her tanning occurrence! The funniest part of this conversation I am going to tell you is that I just met her, not as my client but just a person I met and was chatting to. Talking bout a few times she tanned and one of them she will never f

I was just going through an instagram account and they were showing real women body, body shape. I instantly had the urge to write my chest out. What is that? REAL women body? Who can ever come and say such a thing! Real women doesn't come with a body shape of such, that are all kind of shapes out there and they are all real women and they all struggle somehow with something. The skinny woman sometimes doesn't like to be skinny, the curvy woman sometimes doesn't like to be cu

So many different products out there, for in home tans and for in salon. It is hard for us, expert to choose the correct one, I can only imagine for you. I will explain a little bit in how I choose them to the occasion, to the day you have the event, to the shade, to the time to leave on skin. Every time I try a new tan I feel so excited, I want to know how fast it tans, how dark it goes on that show period I try, usually one hour is my trial time as I like to know the speed

I always treat all the tans differently, as they should. When you get a Tan to get married, you will register each and every moment and it is one of the most important day in a couple’s lives. When I tan a bride I always get nervous, even though I have done many and they were always so perfect. I still get the chills. One little thing done wrong and will be to everyone to see and in every picture. Trust from the bride to the tanner and the tanner to the bride, we need to work

Going on holidays and want to get a spray tan but not sure if it will last or if it is worth doing! I will tell you that there is not better feeling than going on a holiday and not better feeling than going on a holiday with a nice fresh tan! But you ask yourself if your tan will last as you will be swimming! My answer is get the tan. It will last long enough to get to your holidays and even swimming it still will last , for sure much less than if you didn’t go in salt or poo

One morning taking the kids to the park or the beach and got that sunburn! So many times I see people that gets a sunburn for just spending a little time playing outdoors or at the beach and or forgot the sunscreen or just got the sunburn because it was very strong at the time of the day. If you have a sunburn you will probably and most definitely peel that skin off, so make sure you moisturise it very well, Aloe Vera always great for it. Now you have the burn it is not the t

Eva Wittgenstein, was a researcher in a USA hospital in the 1950s. Treating children with a disorder on their metabolism. The product applied was staining their skin so she decided to apply it on her own ski. The product used had the famous DHA, dihydroxyacetone, that is the main substance on our tanning solutions. The more DHA percentage in the solution, the darker is the achievement. A trial that turned into something else. The patch she stained her self with after a few h

Lets start our skin preparation for the application of the tan, we all have our mitts and products and all for our bodies but what about our faces? I hope you don't use your mitt that you use for the body on your face and you use something appropriate for it. Our mitts can be a bit too rough for our skin on our face and I do not recommend it. And Be aware if your body product can be used on your face as well. So many times people just don't exfoliate the face. You can use a p

So many times a tan can go wrong for one little mistake. The position of your body. We all have some parts of our bodies that needs more attention when tanning specially parts where there are natural wrinkles, like elbow, fingers, knees, and also your feet. You have to make sure that you stretch those parts of your body, always bending your elbows so there is no white tan lines in between the skin. Sometimes the knees have a bit of skin and skin contact too so you must do a

Most people tan themselves at home with a lotion or a mousse but what is really the difference and do they both last the same? In years of experience no doubt most people tan at home with some kind of mousse or lotion. The tan at home can look great if applied evenly and with correct tools, you should apply it with a mitt because believe me, you will end up with a fake tan look on your hands. So the self tan products are pretty good and they do their job, the only thing is, i

This is a very common thing when getting a spray tan. Are you embarrassed to get a spray tan? I will tell you about myself so you know I understand you very very well. I am very embarrassed to get my clothes off in front of anyone at all. I am very shy. Comfortable in my skin but very shy when it comes to chow it or to get anything done. Tell you it was hard to get laser when I did ! As a professional tanner I have tanned many many women and some men. I have clients I have ta
