Two spray tans: a trial to validate your shade, then your glow 1 to 2 days before you fly, so you land already tanned like a local. Nobody will guess you just got there.

Two Sessions,
Timed to Your Flight
Two full-body sessions, both at your place, both included in the price. The second appointment is set with me, either when you book or at your first appointment, so the date before you fly is held.

On Day One, You Just Enjoy It
Leaving pale means spending the first two days chasing colour. And chasing colour means wearing less sunscreen than you should. Arriving already tanned turns that around: you have nothing left to get from the sun, so you protect yourself from it normally.
It is a skin question too. A sunless tan exposes your skin to no rays at all, and rays are what cause burns and premature ageing.
Salt, chlorine and sand are three exfoliants. Three habits are enough to make your glow last out there:
- Rinse with clean water when you get out
- Moisturize morning and night
- Forget the exfoliant while your glow is there
A spray tan does not
protect you from the sun
Your colour is cosmetic. It sits on the surface of your skin and gives it no protection factor at all, not even one.
Your sunscreen stays exactly as necessary as before, same SPF and same reapplication. A spray tan spares you from having to brown yourself in the sun, it does not spare you from having to protect yourself from it.
The Result, Before Departure
These photos come from sessions like yours. The line left by the clothing shows the colour obtained in a single visit.
How the Session Goes
A natural glow is never improvised. Every session follows the same six steps, at your place, from start to finish.
I Set Up at Your Place
I set up in a private corner of your home. I bring all the equipment. You have nothing to buy and nothing to get out, only your skin to prepare following the guide.
I Read Your Skin and Build Your Shade
I look at your complexion, work out your skin type and your undertones, then mix your NUDA shade on the spot from that reading and the result you want.
Skin types and shade choice
I Prep Your Skin
I work cream into your palms and the drier areas, the ones that take too much colour when they are forgotten. Then a pH balancing mist, the Norvell xLaTan, for an even base and colour that holds longer.
How to get ready
I Apply Your Spray Tan
I apply the shade built with you, with the professional NUDA spray gun, by hand, layer by layer over the whole body.
I Finish the Work
Face, hands, feet and ankles: I go back over every area with the brush, then finish with a hydrating mist, the Norvell HydroFirm, which sets the application. That is what separates a spray tan applied from a spray tan finished.
I Walk You Through What Comes Next
Before I leave, I walk you through every aftercare step: when to rinse, and how to look after your tan so it lasts.

Your Travel Glow, Clarified
Ideally two to four weeks before departure. That leaves time to wear the shade, see how it evolves on your skin and adjust it for the final session if you wish.
One to two days before you leave. Your shade has time to develop and rinse, and you fly out at the peak of your glow, ready for the swimsuit the moment you land.
No, never. A spray tan colours the surface of the skin, it gives it no protection against the rays. Your sunscreen stays exactly as necessary as before, same SPF and same reapplication. This is the most important point on this page.
Yes, once your first rinse is done. Chlorine and salt speed up fading, so rinse with clean water when you get out and moisturize. That is the difference between a glow that lasts three days and one that lasts ten.
7 to 14 days with the right care. On a one-week trip that covers the whole stay. On two weeks, expect the colour to start fading toward the end of the first.
If your flight leaves less than 5 hours after the session, wear loose dark clothing and avoid belts and bag straps that rub. If you have already rinsed, wear whatever you like, your colour is set.
A moisturizing lotion with no alcohol and no mineral oil, and your sunscreen. That is it. Skip the exfoliants and the scented shower gels, which strip the colour faster than the sun does.
