Choosing the right Tan for your Skin Tone

By Beautifully Bronzed

It’s fair to say choosing the right tan for you can be a bit of a minefield.   There are so many different types of tanning products out there it’s hard to know which one to choose.  

My processional product of choice is Sienna X as I find this gives a natural looking even tan.

Fair Skin

If you have fair skin (like me) finding a tan that doesn’t make you look like you have a “fake” tan can be a nightmare.   Creating a natural looking tan on pale, fair or porcelain skin is quite challenging.

I would recommend a tanning solution with a low DHA (DHA is a sugar (without colour) that interacts directly with the proteins and amino acids in the outer layer of your skin, the epidermis, to produce a gorgeous golden brown colour).  

Touché de Soleil’ 6% spray tan solution is the lightest Sienna X professional tanning solution.  It will leave your skin with a beautifully healthy touch of colour; this is the perfect product for those wanting to achieve a light, natural-looking tan.  It’s particularly suited to very fair skin or those wanting to achieve a light winter glow.

Sienna X 8% spray tan solution is for anyone who wants to achieve a light-medium tan.  It is suitable for all skin types and gives a healthy, natural looking glow. It also includes moisturising ingredients such as vitamins A and E, Aloe Vera and Q10.  This will leave your skin looking and feeling amazing.

Medium Skin

If you have a medium to olive skin tone and tend to tan well you may suit a darker tan.

10% spray tan solution is for anyone wanting a deeper natural looking tan.  This is the solution I find most of my clients opt for as it is well suited to a lot people as most are in the medium/warm skin tone range.  It is also good after a holiday as it will also help to enhance skin that already has a natural tan.  As with any tan it will also help to minimise the appearance of cellulite as it leaves your skin looking smooth.

Dark skin

You might think why have a spray tan if your skin is already dark?  Even with already tanned or dark skin you can still achieve good results.  

12% spray tan solution is one of the darker tanning solutions, it the perfect choice for medium, olive or dark skin tones. It can help to even out your skin tone making scars and blemishes less noticeable and give your skin a gorgeous healthy glow.

As with all tanning, preparation is so important.  Exfoliate and moisturise the night before your tan to buff away any dead skin cells to leave a soft and supple, this will give a great base for your tan.

All the tanning solutions in the Sienna X range have beautiful fragrance and moisturising ingredients so whichever one you opt for you will love the results but more importantly it will give your skin a Beautifully Bronzed glow and help you to feel more confident.

If you would like to have that beautifully bronzed glow over the winter months, Beautifully Bronzed are only to happy to help.
