We all love a tan to get us through Summer, be it a naturally sun-kissed glow on the beach, or a trusty tan-in-a-bottle. But if you’re like us and often struggle with patchy, blotchy applications, I bet you’re wondering if there’s a simpler solution to your tanning woes.

Enter, the magic of spray tans – A glow you didn’t know you needed until you don’t have it. Promising a UV-free, natural bronze personalised to you, a spray tan is the instant boost of skin magic that won’t leave you looking orange or streaky. This Summer, we’re living for bronzey, illuminating skin that leaves us looking and feeling sun-kissed.

This Spring, in prep for our warm-weather glow, we tried out the infamous Parlour Room Clovelly for a ‘Bondi-Glow’, which did not disappoint.

If you haven’t tried a spray tan, you’re in for a treat. Streak-free, even, and perfectly bronzed to perfection, a spray tan is your answer to that effortless Summer glow without the hassle of doing it yourself. 

The Parlour Room Clovelly offers personalised consultations with experienced beauty therapists, so your tan can be matched up to deliver exactly what you’re looking for. Suitable for all skin tones and types, each consultation is carefully decided upon both your current skin as well as your desired outcome, meaning you’ll walk away with a tan that’s even and perfected to you. In as little as just 15 minutes, each spray tan coats every inch of the body, so you don’t have to worry about any missed patches (we’ve been there). For the best results, allow your tan to sink into the skin for 2-3 hours before lightly rinsing off, ensuring not to scrub too hard or you’ll lose it. 

Spray tans at The Parlour Room start from just $20 for the face, and range to $60 for a full body glow. Package deals are available upon request, for those who are committed to a glow all year long. Find The Parlour Room at 216 Clovelly Rd, Randwick.
