Hey hey, Omaha party people! ⚾️ The College World Series is back, and we know you’re not just showing up—you’re showing out. Whether you’re repping your team in head-to-toe merch or just living for the patio hangs and rooftop vibes, there’s one thing that’ll take your summer look to the next level: a flawless spray tan.
If you’ve already booked your SHINE appointment (gold star for you), let’s make sure that bronze stays game-day ready from first pitch to final out. Here’s your winning lineup for keeping your tan fierce, fresh, and flawless through every inning:
🧼 Prep Like a Pro
No one shows up to game day without warming up, right? Same goes for your skin. Our Double E Prep Method—featuring the Dry Brush and Exfoliation Mitt—is your official pre-tan warm-up.
Step 1: Dry Brush
Before you hit the shower, use this magic wand to boost circulation, slough off dull skin, and give your tan a smoother landing spot. Bonus: it feels amazing.
Step 2: Exfoliation Mitt
This mitt means business. Scrub in the shower to get every last bit of buildup off your skin. Clean, smooth, and even? That’s your base coat for a next-level tan.
👉 Pro tip: Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment for the best results.
🗓 Time It Right
If you’re planning to tan before a big tailgate or rooftop bash, book at least 24–48 hours in advance. This gives your color time to fully develop and settle, meaning no last-minute streaks or smudges.
Want it darker faster? Ask your Shine artist about the Express Tan—you’ll be party-ready in hours.
💧 Moisturize Like You Mean It
Dry skin is the enemy of an even tan. After your first rinse, apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer daily—especially on elbows, knees, and ankles. Just avoid anything heavy or oily (think: thick body butters), which can break down your tan faster than a rain delay.
🧴 Extend the Life of Your Tan
You’ve got your tan. You love your tan. Now let’s keep it going strong all week long.
Enter: SHINE Tan Extender Lotion. Use this starting after your second shower post-tan to boost hydration and extend the life of your bronze. No weird patchiness. No “tiger bread” fade. Just silky, smooth skin that stays golden.
👜 Dress for Tan Success
After your spray tan, go full lounge mode: loose, dark clothes only. Trust us—tight straps, clingy fabrics, or white anything? Not worth the risk.
For game day, breathable is best. It’s hot out there, and sweat can mess with your color. (Don’t worry, we won’t make you skip the beer garden.)
💦 Stay Hydrated
Your tan loves water—on the inside. Drink up throughout the day to keep your skin happy and your bronze glowing. Just skip the pools and rivers for the first 24 hours post-tan.
🏃♀️Be Ready for Anything
Got a long day of tailgating or bar hopping? Pop our Tan Can in your bag for easy, on-the-go touch-ups. It’s TSA-size approved, streak-proof, and fits right into your clear bag for the stadium. (Yes, it’s that cute.)
☀️ Don’t Skip SPF
Spray tans don’t equal sun protection. Grab a broad-spectrum SPF, reapply regularly, and save your skin (and your tan) from a sunburn sabotage.
Whether you’re out watching the game or just living your best patio season life, SHINE has you covered. With a little prep, some smart aftercare, and your favorite SHINE essentials, you’ll stay bronze and beautiful from the first beer to the last bracket upset.
Book your SHINE appointment today, stock up on your favs, and get ready to tan like a champ. Let’s make Omaha your runway. 💜
SHINE ON
