Kim Kardashian & Selena Gomez's Go-To Spray Tan Artist Shares Tips To Have A Golden Glow All Year Long
If you've ever wondered how Kim Kardashian has a glowing tan all year long, she turns to Isabel Alysa, Hollywood's go-to spray tan artist to maintain her constant glow. Khloé Kardashian, Megan Fox, Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus, Chrissy Teigen, Becky G, Katy Perry, and Dorit Kemsley are among the many celebs who Isabel works with.
Los Angeles tanning enthusiasts are already familiar with Isabel's tanning studio, Dolce Glow. And for those of us who do not live in the LA area, we can get that signature glow from the comfort of our own homes through the Dolce Glow By Isabel Alysa tanning products.
She has channeled her years of expertise to create tanning mousse, gradual tanning lotion, applicator mitts, and more innovative products to help you get your ideal tan and minimize those classic tanning mistakes. Isabel recently chatted with E! News to share her tips for pre-tan preparation, post-tan care, tan application, and more insights to ensure that you will always have a streak-free, natural-looking bronze.
IA: I've definitely seen an increase in direct-to-consumer sales. So many more people are doing self-tanning at home. Personally, for Dolce Glow, last year was one of the best for my business. It was interesting because while a lot of companies and businesses really struggled, we definitely saw a huge increase in our sales. People want to look and feel good, even if they are just staying at home.
And, then with the spray tanning side of things, especially for celebrities, I feel super blessed to be in the glam squad because the entertainment industry is still going, with safety precautions in place. You're getting COVID tested before you go in. You have to show a negative PCR test and proof of vaccination. I definitely feel super blessed to work. I'm still being requested so much because a lot of the people I work with are still filming and doing other projects.
IA: I feel like if you're new to self-tanning, you definitely want to start with something that's formulated like something you are used to using already in your routine. If you are used to apply a spray on a regular basis, like a facial mist, using a self-tanning spray might be smarter and easier for you. We're all used to applying lotion, right? Using a self-tanning lotion would be a great start to using tanner.
For someone that's new to self-tanning, who may be scared to try something new, my go-to wouldn't be a mousse. It would actually be a gradual tanning lotion because you just apply a lotion. You can use it with your hands as long as you wash your hands right after. Or you can apply it and just even circular motion, just how you would put lotion on yourself.
I would always go with like a less is more approach, so you want to start with like a light to medium, gradual tanner. The most amazing thing with the gradual lotions is that they're not really heavy in comparison to dark bronzers that can be intimidating to first-time tanners. As I've progressed and I have so many variations in our line, gradual tanner lotion is the easiest to apply for me. They don't transfer and they are super hydrating. You can also mix them in with your favorite moisturizer that you already use.
A gradual tanning lotion is also great to pack on a trip if you want to maintain your tan or even if you want to combat the fade that comes with being the sun or swimming.
