Vacation Tans 101
Vacation Glow Up: Why a Spray Tan Is a MUST Before You Travel.
Vacation is booked. Outfits are packed. Nails are done. But what about your glow?
One of the biggest mistakes we see? Clients nearly talking themselves out of a spray tan before vacation because they’re worried it “won’t last.” Let us stop you right there.
Your Vacation Tan Will Last — If You Take Care of It
A professional spray tan absolutely can last your entire trip. The key is prep + aftercare.
At Let’s Glow, we customize your formula based on your skin tone, travel destination, and how long you’ll be gone. When you follow the proper prep steps (exfoliate, avoid oils, come with clean skin) and use proper aftercare products, your tan can stay flawless for 7–10 days — sometimes even longer.
So don’t let anyone talk you out of that glow. There is nothing like stepping off the plane already bronzed and beach-ready.
When Should You Book?
The sweet spot: the night before you travel.
As long as you have enough time to rinse before heading to the airport, this timing is perfect. You’ll:
Develop overnight
Rinse in the morning
Travel with a fresh, even glow
This gives you peak color right when your vacation begins — not halfway through your trip.
Pro tip: Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment and to the airport for the most comfortable travel day.
The Vacation Add-On You’ll Thank Yourself For:
✨ Sweat Shield (+$10)
If you’re headed somewhere warm (hello, beach, tropical honeymoon, girls’ trip), this add-on is a game-changer.
Our Sweat Shield helps reduce sweat-related fading and improves color longevity. It’s especially great for:
Long travel days
Outdoor activities
Poolside lounging
Bachelorette weekends
For $10, it’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference.
