We’ve all seen that splotchy, orange-skinned woman who looks like they lost a battle with a bottle of self-tanner. Wellington resident Melissa Weinberg has come up with a solution for that. Weinberg launched Perfect Glow Sunless, a professional tanning spray, and Melissa Weinberg Tanning & Beauty, a line of streak-proof, odorless at-home sunless tanning products. The take-home line ranges from $22 to $39.95 at Mwmelissaweinberg.com.

“Although I’m a blonde now, I’m a natural redhead with freckles who couldn’t tan at all,” Weinberg said. “I experienced skin cancer from sun bathing. I really wanted to come up with a way for people to get a quality tan without the sun. My boyfriend had suggested I try spray tanning. I gradually started building color on my skin and instantly liked it. A good tan always knocks off 10 pounds and camouflages veins. I looked at the products I was using and wanted to create my own.”

Over a year and a half ago, Weinberg started her line, which includes a professional spray tanning solution as well as the Perfect Glow Sunless in five blends to offer a realistic faux glow for various skin tones.

“It’s not just about the color. You want it to fade well, too,” Weinberg said of her line, which offers ingredients such as coconut oil, Argan oil, cucumber extract, elderberry extract, white tea extract and other moisturizing ingredients to smooth skin and build a natural color base. “I’m really proud of my products, which are Paraben-free, gluten-free, formaldehyde-free and without sulfates, mineral oils or petrochemical. We also don’t test any of the products on animals.”

Weinberg has incorporated a natural fade technology into her line that doesn’t leave behind blotchy spots on skin.

“The whole point of getting a natural tan is feeling and looking like you were really in the sun,” she said. “For those on the go, I also have a Rapid Self-Tanning Mousse, which dries quickly and allows the user to rinse off in only one to four hours instead of the typical eight hours you need to wait to wash off. It’s great because you can even sleep on white sheets and not worry about it coming off.”

Melissa Weinberg’s self-tanning tips:

• If you are using the tanning mousse, start off using only one coat of the mousse and rinse in eight to 10 hours. It’s always better to start conservative. If you want to be darker then next time you can apply two coats.

• After your first shower, use the MW luxury body lotion at least two times a day to maintain and prolong the tan.

• If you choose to use the gradual tanner, start off applying once a day (before bed) and a healthy glow will start to build in a few days. You can always increase to two times a day.

Many people ask me what the difference is. Well if you have used a booth before you know, there really is no comparison. But I wanted to take the time to explain why you should consider a custom airbrush tan:

1) The tan will be more even. With a custom airbrush tan I am trained and can control the amount of tanning solution that is being applied. A booth just sprays everything out & you just hope that you are positioning correctly. ( Think of the episode of Ross with Friends??) When I spray clients I do not even need to use barrier cream. That is because I can control the amount of solution on the hands, feet and other areas that need to appear more natural. Also, the breathing factor is much better. You can breath normal and not worry about solution being sprayed out all over the place. With a custom airbrush the over spray is contained and the only time you have to hold your breath is when I spray your face. Clients also remark on how the tan is nice and even and not blotchy or streaky.

2) The tan dries quicker. That is becuase I control the amount of solution being applied. Many clients remark how they cant believe the airbrush is not wet and that they do not have to dry for long afterwards. My tanning solution is like a fine mist and most clients are good to get dressed in just a few minutes after the spray is complete.

3) I can customize the tan to be darker in certain areas. Do you like your legs darker than the rest of your body? Or maybe you like your tummy to be extra dark or your arms defined. I can do all of that where a booth can not. Everyones skin is different and certain areas of the body can be resistant to the DHA, so the custom airbrush allows me to spray extra in those areas for the client.

4) I can custom blend a color just for you. No more level 1, 2 or 3. I get many clients that need a color that is “In between” the basic levels. an airbrush tan gives you that special service. Plus it allows me to push the envelope little by little on very fair clients giving them the comfort of knowing that they will not look unnatural or orange. With a booth if you wnt to go darker you take the risk that the next level might be too strong for you.

5) Cost factor. I understand people are on a budget and sometimes choose the booth because it is cheaper. However my custom airbrush is only within a few bucks difference of a booth, and I always have packages to cut the cost . Also I always give clients ways to save as checking in, sending me a picture or writing a review are all ways to knock $$ off your session.

6) Longetivity. My custom airbrush tans last anywhere from 5-9 days as depending on your lifestyle & how diligent you follow post tan care instructions. Plus tan extender and proper aftercare products made by me specifically for spray tanning can even give you as much as 2 weeks out of one session! That is MUCH longer than a booth and I have heard from many clients that the booth tans only lasted 2-4 days on them. So right there alone you are saving $ from not having to do as many sessions and spray tanning can fit better in your schedule.
