A love letter to the ones who skip aftercare
My dearest glow-getter,
Should you permit me a moment of your time, I wish to speak on a matter most dear to my heart —
your tan. I know you left your appointment radiant, confident, and already moving on to the next engagement of your busy life. And truly, who could blame you? Life rarely slows long enough for lotion and patience.
Still… your tan was only just beginning.
You see, when we part ways, your glow and your skin enter into a delicate courtship. They are learning one another — deciding how long they might remain together. And it is during this time that a little care makes all the difference.
Hydrated skin is a most gracious host. It invites the color to settle in, to stay awhile, to linger just a bit longer.
Dry skin, however, is less inclined toward such commitments.
Moisturizing is not a demand, nor is it a test of devotion. It is simply a kindness. A quiet gesture that says, I wish for this glow to remain.
Warm showers (never scalding), gentle drying, and daily moisture are small acts, but they speak volumes. They allow your tan to age gracefully, fading slowly rather than taking an abrupt leave.
I do not write this letter to scold — heavens, no. I write it because I care.
I pour intention into every tan — selecting your shade, blending each detail, ensuring your glow feels natural and entirely your own. After that, we are partners in the matter. And your role need not be complicated, only thoughtful.
So, if you would indulge me, I ask this:
Tend to your skin with softness.
Moisturize when you are able.
Keep your showers cozy rather than cruel.
And treat your glow as something worthy of a little devotion.
And should you forget from time to time — as we all do — know this:
You are still welcome here. You are still cherished. And I shall happily tan you again.
With the warmest affection,
Your spray tan artist 🌲✨
