The holidays are full of sparkle -- family photos, festive parties, bright red lipstick, and cozy get-togethers that somehow always end up in a thousand pictures. And if we're being honest, everything looks better with a soft, natural glow.

Whether you want to look radiant under the tree lights or bronzed for New Year's Eve, timing your spray tan just right makes all the difference. Here's your go-to guide to glow beautifully through every holiday event this season -- without ever looking orange or overdone.

For the most flawless, natural result, we recommend getting your spray tan 1-2 days before your event. That's when your color is fully developed, perfectly even, and gives you that soft, radiant glow that looks like you -- just glowier.

Why a Holiday Spray Tan is a Must:

A spray tan isn't just about color -- it's about confidence. Here's why it makes such a difference this time of year:

Photographs: A subtle tan helps your skin look smoother, your makeup pop, and your features more defined. You'll love how it looks under flash photography lighting Bright Colors & Bold Lipsticks: Holiday reds, emerald greens, and deep berries all look richer against a warm, golden tone. No washed-out winter skin here.
Glitter & Glow: Shimmery makeup, highlighter, and metallic fabrics all hit differently when your skin has dimension. Your glow becomes part of the outfit.
Confidence in Every Outfit: From backless dresses to cozy off-shoulder sweaters, your tan gives you that put-together feeling that we all need at the holidays.
Natural, Never Orange: Our custom spray tans are designed to complement your undertone -- you'll look naturally sun-kissed, not spray tanned.
