Crazy Angel Gilded Mistress Spray Tan Dry Oil is a soft-textured, quick-drying professional solution. It contains vegetan premium and 9% naturally derived DHA and helps lock in moisture to keep skin hydrated and luminous. Brand ambassador Abbie McCann always turns to this solution for tanning brides. “It dries instantly onto the skin and is completely transparent upon application, so the bride-to-be won’t have the signs of having had a tan,” she says.

Trade: £41.05 for 1l 0845 180 1241 (Beauty Solutions) crazy-angel.co.uk

Kissed by Mii Keep on Glowing Homecare Kit is perfect for retailing to bridal clients to encourage them to look after their tan on their honeymoon. It contains Seriously Smoothing Exfoliator, Daily Boost Body Cream and Seriously Smoothing Moisturiser. Kissed by Mii expert Shelley Henderson says: “it has everything clients need to enhance and prolong their colour for an even longer lasting tan.”

Moroccan Tan Moroccan Primer is infused with organic argan and rosehip oils and aloe vera, and enriched with vitamin E to leave skin nourished and smooth pre-tan. Scented with spiced honey, the exfoliator buffs away dead skin cells to create the ideal canvas for a smooth spray tan application.

Instruct clients to use the product a day before their tan and at regular intervals as it fades to ensure an even colour.

Vita Liberata Body Blur is described as an “instant HD skin finish” and is ideal for adding last-minute lustre just before the wedding. It lends a subtle overall glow while minimising blemishes and smoothing the skin’s appearance, says the brand. Moisturising shea butter makes it easily blendable with a tanning mitt or make-up brush, and it’s also suitable to use as a tan highlight on the face.

RRP: £29.95 for 100ml 028 9334 4411 vitaliberata.co.uk

Sienna X Clear Spray Tan Solution has no guide colour and is a great option for a bridal party having last-minute spray tans as it avoids colour transfer onto clothes. It gives lightto- medium results with 8% DHA, says the brand. Sienna X professional therapist Charlie Hopewell says the solution is recommended for experienced tanners: “The clear tan is sprayed on in the same technique as all other spray solutions but a professional eye is needed to ensure the spray is flawless.”

Trade: £25.97 for 500ml 0333 600 1200 sienna-x.co.uk

Fake Bake Flawless Glow Spray Solution gives a warm, subtle glow that’s ideal for those who aren’t used to tanning but want a bit of colour on the big day. It contains a hint of guide colour and the tan develops during the day, allowing clients to wash it off before bed and experience minimal colour transfer as it matures. This is also a good option for busy clients who can’t afford to take time out of their day while waiting to rinse off guide colour, as with traditional solutions.

Trade: £45 for 946ml 03448 565758 fakebake.co.uk
