It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas. It's a wonderful time of year, a chance to spend time with the family, indulge in lots of food, shop for presents and of course attend and host Christmas parties! A Christmas party is the perfect opportunity to look fabulous and catch up with all your loved ones, whilst dancing the night away and celebrating the most wonderful time of year. Indulging in a spray tan for Christmas is the perfect way to create a show-stopping look that will leave fellow guests in awe. A tan goes perfect with dresses in shades of red, green and gold and below are some tips to ensure a natural, flawless looking tan that will have you glowing all night long! 

Don't be afraid to experiment

We are all blessed with different skin tones and therefore a colour which may suit one person, may not suit you. It's best to test the different products and colours. Maybe you'll prefer the look and feel of a foam style tan, or a spray tan may be the perfect choice for you. Don't forget to practice your application too; start tanning on different occasions before the Christmas party to perfect your final look. Remember, if you find a product you love, you can even ask Santa for more stock on Christmas Day! 

Plan ahead

Never leave tanning until the last minute, especially for a special occasion like Christmas. We advise on applying your tan around 48 hours before the big Christmas party. This will allow you to make sure you're happy with the final finish and allow time for your tan to develop and look perfect. It also allows you to rectify any mistakes such as streaks during the tanning process, so there is no need to panic! 

Prep and maintain

The key to a flawless tan is to prep and maintain. Prepare your skin beforehand by exfoliating and moisturising well and remember to pay special attention to 'difficult' areas such as your knees, elbows, feet, and ankles. Also remember to complete any hair removal, pedicures, manicures at least one day before you apply any tan. If you prepare well your tan will last longer, so you can continue to have a beautiful glow even after the event.
