How to tan like a star! Backstage tanning secrets from Dancing with the Stars Ireland

If you haven’t heard the news… where have you been?! This month has been truly spectacular, as we kick-started the year by revealing we are the official tan partner of RTE’s Dancing with the Stars Ireland 2019, for the third year running.
This year’s star-studded celebrity line-up is truly spectacular and here at Bellaminanta, we’re delighted to be brining our glow to your TV screens every Sunday night.
As Ireland’s number one luxury tanning brand, each week we’ve been on-hand to deliver a head-to-toe winning golden glow for the celebrities involved. Our high quality, professional tan ensures that while the pressure is on when they hit that dance floor, the celebrities don’t need to worry about their tan letting them down.
If you’ve already been watching the show (how good has it been so far?!), we wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve been dying to re-create that enviable look at home, perfect for hitting your own dance floor at the weekend. And thankfully, with our amazing array of products, it’s a whole lot easier than you might think.
Step 1: Scrub it off
The secret to a great tan starts with the perfect base, which is especially true during the winter months, when our skin tends to be drier. The day you plan to tan, bring your Bellaminata Triple Action Glycolic Body Scrub into the shower and gently exfoliate from head-to-toe, paying particular attention to those notoriously hard-to-tan areas such as the knees and ankles. This will rid your skin of dead cells, offering a smooth base for tanning.
Step 2: Choose your perfect tan
When it comes to tanning the celebrities on Dancing with the Stars Ireland, we use our professional spray tan solution, with many favouring a second coat, perfect for delivering a healthy glow on-screen. Achieve the look at home in seconds with our collection of mousse, lotions and liquids, available in various tones so that you can find your perfect match. Apply using a tanning mitt for streak-free results, while also protecting the palms of your hands.
Step 3: Banish imperfections
The lucky guys and girls at Dancing with the Stars Ireland really have been getting the VIP treatment! They’ve been trying out our brand new Flawless Filter Body Make-Up, ahead of its release later this month. The show’s make-up artists have also been getting in on the action and have been raving about the amazing results. Offering a HD finish and instant colour, this handy product blurs imperfections for a picture-perfect finish, so good, that you won’t need a filter!
Our Flawless Filter Body Make-Up will be online on our website very soon and in a stockist near you!
Step 4: Extend it
And because everyone wants to keep the glow alive all week long, our Self Tanning Gradual Moisturiser really has been a savior. This tan can be used to gradually build up a sun-kissed glow overtime, or it can be used to top up your existing tan, for fresh colour that you won’t want to say bye to anytime soon.
Voila! Armed with these backstage tanning secrets, enjoying your own star-studded golden glow at home has never been easier.
