The signature glow
Organic spray tanning in Elyria, Ohio
A custom airbrush tan with a natural, never-orange finish. It’s the service Bronze Beauties was built on.
From $60 · with Samantha Camel
Bronze Beauties started in 2018 as a mobile spray-tan business, and the tan is still the heart of the studio. Every session is a custom airbrush application by Samantha, matched to your skin tone and the depth of glow you want, from a soft sun-kissed warmth to a deep vacation bronze.
Our solution is made with natural and organic ingredients, hydrating moisturizers, botanical extracts, vitamins and antioxidants, so your skin is nourished while it develops. It’s a sunless glow with no UV exposure and no tanning bed.
The experience
What to expect
Step 1: Prep at home

Step 3: Airbrush application
A quick, even airbrush session in a private room. Bring loose, dark clothing and flip-flops to change into.
Step 4: Let it develop

Before & after
Prep & aftercare
Before your appointment
- Shower, shave and exfoliate at least 4 hours before your appointment so your pores have time to close.
- Use an oil-free exfoliator. Oils create a barrier the solution can’t absorb through.
- Arrive with clean skin: no lotions, deodorant, perfume or makeup.
- Book waxing, nails, facials and massages before your tan. Wax at least 24 hours ahead.
- Bring loose, dark clothing and flip-flops. Skip denim, leggings and tight bras or underwear.
Aftercare
- Stay away from all moisture (showers, workouts, cleaning, lotions) until your first rinse.
- Take your first rinse at least 4 hours after your appointment, and no more than 24 hours after.
- Rinse with warm water, a gentle natural body wash and the palms of your hands. Pat dry, don’t rub.
- Keep your hair dry for 8 hours.
- Moisturize morning and night with an oil-free moisturizer.
- Skip swimming, long baths, steam rooms, saunas and anything that exfoliates until you’re ready to say goodbye.

Questions
Spray Tan FAQ
Will my spray tan look orange?
No. Every tan is custom-mixed and applied by hand, and the solution is formulated for a natural bronze. Following the prep steps (clean, exfoliated, oil-free skin) is the biggest factor in an even result.
What should I wear to my spray tan?
Whatever you’re comfortable tanning in. Most clients tan without a bra; a strapless bra or bandeau works if you prefer. Afterward, change into loose, dark clothing and flip-flops: no denim, leggings, socks or tight straps until your first rinse.
When can I shower after my spray tan?
Wait at least 4 hours, and don’t go more than 24 hours. Use warm water and a gentle body wash, rinse with your palms, and pat dry. Some bronzer rinsing away is completely normal.
How far ahead should I tan before an event?
Book your tan after your other beauty services and give it time to develop and get your first rinse in before the big day. Not sure about timing? Call or text and Samantha will help you plan it.
Is spray tanning safer than a tanning bed?
Spray tanning doesn’t involve UV radiation, which is why dermatologists recommend sunless tanning over tanning beds. Keep wearing sunscreen outdoors, though: a spray tan doesn’t protect your skin from the sun.
