How to Achieve the Perfect Bronzed Glow (Without the Sun)
A bronzed glow is more than just a tan—it's a statement. It says effortless, elevated, and polished. But getting that flawless, sun-kissed look doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your skin's health under the sun. In Los Angeles, where beauty and self-care are practically a lifestyle, custom airbrush spray tanning is the ultimate way to achieve the perfect bronzed glow year-round. Here's how to glow smart, not sunburned.
Why Sunless Tanning Is the Smart Choice:
A bronzed skin tone should never come with UV damage. That's why more Angelenos are turning to professional spray tanning to get the glow without the risks. Custom airbrush tanning not only protects your skin but also allows for a tailored shade that enhances your natural tone—no more one-size-fits-all color, and definitely no harsh orange.
With expert application, premium solutions, and personalized care, sunless tanning delivers a radiant finish that looks like you—only bronzed, luminous, and fresh.
How to Get a Bronzed Glow That Looks Effortless:
Getting that editorial-level glow is an art and a science. Here’s what goes into a flawless finish:
Custom Solution Selection: Your bronzed glow should be carefully matched by selecting the ideal solution for your skin tone, lifestyle, and glow goals—not just sprayed on without thought.
Premium Skin-Loving Solutions: High-quality formulas hydrate and enhance your skin while delivering depth, dimension, and lasting results.
Perfect Prep and Aftercare: Proper exfoliation, hydration, and timing make all the difference in creating that smooth, even glow that wears beautifully.
At L.A. Sun Spray Tan, every tan is personally applied to help you look naturally bronzed—like you've been kissed by the perfect light, not a machine.
Common Mistakes That Get in the Way of Your Glow:
Skipping Prep: Without exfoliation and moisture balancing, the tan won’t develop evenly.
Choosing Low-Quality Booth Tans: Booth tans can’t customize for your skin’s unique needs, leading to flat, one-note color.
Overdoing the Depth: Going "too dark" can look forced. The goal is a luminous, bronzed look—not an obvious spray tan.

Your Downtown L.A. Guide to a Flawless Custom Spray Tan
Whether you’re getting ready for a special event, a photoshoot, or just want to feel your best, a great spray tan can completely boost your confidence. But if you're in Downtown L.A. — or anywhere nearby — finding the right spray tan artist can make all the difference between a natural, glowy finish and something that feels... not so natural.
After specializing in custom airbrush tanning for over a decade, I’ve picked up a few tips that can help you find the right fit — and get a tan you’ll love every time.
1. Look for True Customization
Every skin tone is different. Every client’s goals are different. A great custom tan should be tailored not only to your skin tone, but also to your event and schedule. Whether you want a soft sun-kissed glow or a deeper, bronzed finish, customization is everything when it comes to a natural result.
2. Check Portfolio Photos — Carefully
One of the best ways to tell if a spray tan artist is a good match for you? Look at real client results — and check for photos in different lighting, like natural sunlight, indoor events, and professional shoots.
A good portfolio will show tans that look consistent, even, and flattering across all types of settings.

3. Prep and Aftercare Support Matters
A flawless tan isn’t just about the session itself — prep and aftercare make a huge difference. You should always feel guided on how to properly prepare your skin and care for your tan afterward. It’s a team effort that starts before you even walk into the studio.
4. Location and Convenience
If you’re near Downtown L.A., my studio is centrally located with easy valet parking (no apps, no meters, no stress). It’s one less thing to worry about on a busy day — just pull up, tan, and go.
If you're looking for a natural, confident glow — whether it's for a wedding, photoshoot, or just because — I'd love to help you find your perfect shade.
