Should You Get a Spray Tan Before Your Senior Session?


If we are perfectly honest, most of us like our skin to have a beautiful golden summer tone, especially for SPECIAL occasions. Your senior photoshoot is definitely a special time, so it begs the question... "Should I get a spray tan before my senior portrait session?"


The answer to this question should be easy, right? Yet, it isn't so cut and dried. There are some things to consider before you get that spray tan. Let's talk about a few of them.


  1. Go for a natural look. You want a light and even spray tan to enhance your natural skin color (a touch of warmth). Nobody's natural skin color is orange. Ask questions to make sure you aren't going to have a bright orange glow instead of a natural, light one.
  2. Use an experienced, professional spray tan artist to ensure you get the best look possible. The best spray tan will leave your skin looking radiant and smooth. The best professional spray tans make post-shoot editing easy and seamless. A bad spray tan can create an editing nightmare which in the worst cases can be all but impossible to disguise even with photoshop.
  3. Look for honest reviews for spray tan artists you are considering. Check out their website and social media images to see what their spray tan skills are. You want someone who KNOWS how to get the perfect amount of color you need to get that natural glow.



SPRAY TAN TIPS:


  1. Ask your spray tan artist to recommend the best products to exfoliate your skin prior to your spray tan session.
  2. Your spray tan artist will provide you with instructions to take home with you so you can maximize your tan. Do what they recommend.
  3. Book your spray tan for 2 DAYS BEFORE your senior photoshoot.


To sum it up, spray tans can be a great idea for your senior photoshoot when they are done by the right experienced professional. Choose your spray tan artist wisely for maximum results.
