While some may think summer is prime spray-tanning season, we actually recommend focusing on maintaining your glow during the fall and winter months! Here’s 5 reasons why:

1. Color: you will undoubtedly spend less time soaking up that Vitamin D during the cooler seasons. That tan you built up over spring and summer will fade, leaving you pale and lacking that beautiful glow that seemingly gives you more life and vibrance. Have you noticed the compliments you receive when you’re tan stating that you, “look so healthy and great”? Yeah, us too! Booking a spray tan during the fall and winter months will ensure you keep that healthy looking glow when you need it most!

2.Photos: We all know the fall and winter months include major holidays from October- January- this means lots of pictures. Get ready for photos at a Halloween bash, Friends-giving get togethers, Christmas cookie bakes with the fam, and popping champagne on NYE. The holidays bring family and friends together more than any other time during the year, these holidays serve as perfect photo opportunities to document the fun times and gatherings you attend with people you love most. The flash can be harsh and wash you out, your dark attire may serve as major contrast to your pale skin, and you may be standing next to your stunning college roommate that has since moved to Hawaii and now sports a year round tropical glow. Having a spray tan allows you to feel your best when you attend these events and see the ones you love- the proof is in the photos :)

3.Hydration: cooler temperatures and windy weather usually equates to dryer skin. Having dry or flaky skin never feels good, especially when you’ve got a busy holiday season. Spray tanning can help your skin feel hydrated and protected. Caring for your spray tan also requires keeping it moisturized. Post spray tan rituals include using gentle and hydrating body washes, rather than harsh exfoliants and loofahs, as well as lathering up on body lotion or luxurious body oil. This is a total treat for your skin, and helps keep your tan in tact and lasting longer!

4.Simulated Slim-Down: The winter months can translate to hibernation mode and binge eating on holiday sweets and treats. With bikini season far on the horizon, its grub time for most of us! While this indulgent season is fantastic, it also doesn’t feel so great to squeeze into that holiday party dress or run into your ex-boyfriend at Trader Joe’s. Our mantra at Darke Tan has always been, “I need to drop a few pounds, time for a spray tan”. Spray tans make you feel slim and trim, covering up undesired cellulite and chiseling your features. Spray tanning helps keep those winter pounds at bay, or at least make you feel a little slimmer
