Bridal & Prom Glow 101: Your Big Day Glow Starts Here
The countdown to your wedding or prom is on, and you want to look radiant, confident, and photo-ready. A flawless spray tan is the secret to achieving that glowing, sun-kissed skin without the risks of sun damage. But timing, preparation, and aftercare are key to ensuring streak-free, natural-looking results that enhance—not overpower—your beauty.
Whether you’re a bride-to-be or prepping for a prom night to remember, follow this expert guide from BodiBronze Sunless Spa to get the best spray tan for your big day.
When Should You Get a Spray Tan - Before Your Wedding or Prom?
Timing is everything! You don’t want to be too light or too dark on your special day. Here’s a spray tan timeline to help you achieve the perfect glow:
✅ Brides: Schedule your tan 2 days before your wedding for optimal color development.
✅ Prom-Goers: Get your tan 2 days before prom to ensure a fresh, even glow.
✅ Bridal Trials: Book a trial spray tan at least a month before your wedding to test the perfect shade.
✅ Waxing & Shaving: Complete any hair removal at least 24 hours before your tan to prevent uneven absorption.
💡Pro Tip: Avoid last-minute tanning! A rushed spray tan can lead to streaks, patches, or an unnatural color.
How to Prep Your Skin for a Long-Lasting, Streak-Free Tan
Proper prep ensures your spray tan lasts longer and fades evenly. Follow these steps for the best sunless tan results:
The Day of Your Tan:
✔ Shower, Shave & Exfoliate your skin with an oil-free scrub to remove dead skin cells.
✔ Skip deodorant, lotion, and makeup—they can create a barrier.
✔ Wear loose, dark clothing to avoid smudging your fresh tan.
Choosing the Best Spray Tan Shade for Your Skin Tone
Not all tans are created equal! At BodiBronze, we customize your spray tan to match your skin tone and undertones, ensuring a natural, streak-free glow.
💛 Fair Skin: Opt for a light golden glow to avoid looking too dark.
🍯 Medium Skin: A warm caramel tan enhances natural undertones beautifully.
🌅 Olive/Dark Skin: A deep bronze tan adds warmth without looking orange.

Spray Tan Aftercare – How to Keep Your Glow Looking Fresh
Once you’ve achieved your perfect bridal or prom tan, follow these aftercare tips to keep it looking flawless:
✔ For Original spray solutions, wait 12 hours before showering and 1-4 hours for Quick spray solutions depending on how dark or light you want your tan to be.
✔ Pat your skin dry after showers—avoid rubbing with a towel.
✔ Use a sulfate-free, hydrating body wash to maintain your glow.
✔ Moisturize daily to prevent patchy fading.
✔ Avoid chlorinated pools which can strip your tan.
💡Pro Tip: BodiBronze’s tan-extending lotion helps keep your spray tan lasting longer!
