If you're planning a beach day, pool party, or fresh spray tan, glowing skin is a must. But here’s the catch: if your skin isn’t prepped properly, even the best tan (real or faux) can look patchy, fade fast, or cling to dry spots.
Want that even, radiant, soft-as-silk glow from head to toe? It’s all about prepping your skin—and lucky for you, Mi-el has the perfect lineup to get you glow-ready in just a few easy steps.
Why Skin Prep Matters Before a Spray Tan or Sun Time
Whether you're soaking up sunshine or booking a spray tan appointment, your skin is the canvas. Dry patches, leftover lotion, or uneven texture? That’s what leads to blotchy tans and dull-looking skin.
Good prep helps your tan:
-
Go on smoother
-
Look more even
-
Last longer
-
Fade naturally, without weird streaks
And even if you’re skipping the tan altogether—glowing, freshly prepped skin just feels better on the beach.
Your Beach Day / Spray Tan Prep Routine 🌴☀️
Let’s break it down, step-by-step—with the Mi-El products your skin’s been craving:
1. Exfoliate: Strawberry Kiss Sugar Scrub
This juicy, whipped sugar scrub gently buffs away dead skin while hydrating with coconut oil and cocoa butter. It leaves your skin soft, smooth, and ready to soak in the sun or a flawless tan.
Pro tip: Focus on dry-prone areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and behind the arms.
2. Shave Smoothly: Use Your Favorite Razor + Follow With Bump Bee Gone Cream
If you’re shaving before tanning (or wearing a bikini), it’s crucial to avoid razor burn and bumps. This cream is made to calm post-shave irritation and help you achieve a baby-smooth finish.
Apply a thin layer after shaving to prevent ingrowns and help your tan lay perfectly flat.
3. Hydrate: Beekini Oil
This fast-absorbing body oil is lightweight enough to use before sun exposure or tanning—but rich enough to deeply moisturize. It leaves behind the softest sheen and the most incredible scent (read: sweet, fresh, and beach-ready).
Pro tip: Apply 24 hours before a spray tan, not right before, so the skin absorbs all the moisture without creating a barrier.
Day Of Tips:
-
Skip deodorant and lotions the day of a spray tan
-
Avoid body oils right before sun exposure—use them after!
-
Bring the Beekini Oil with you post-beach to lock in moisture after your shower
Bottom Line:
Prepping your skin is the glow-up before the glow-up. Whether you're laying poolside or going faux with a spray tan, your skin deserves to feel just as good as it looks.
✨ Smooth. Hydrated. Glowy. Confident.
