Meet Christina
Hi! My name is Christina and I was born and raised in Rexburg, Idaho. I have one son, an AMAZING daughter in law, and 3 beautiful daughters. I started Beach Bum Spray Tans as a side hustle in 2021 to help pay cheer fees for my 2 youngest daughters. Never realizing how much I would love it and how quickly it would grow.
In just 6 months, I moved my little business out of my garage and into a brick & mortar location. I am a Sjolie Certified Sunless Spray Tan Artist and was nominated for Best Spray Tan Business in Southeast Idaho in 2024.
I love the customization and the detail of spray tans. Every client's skin is different and getting to customize their solution so it's tailored just for them is one of my favorite things about my business. Helping each client feel comfortable throughout their appointment is really important to me.
I have a passion for helping women love the skin they're in. Seeing how confident they are as they leave their appointment is one of the most rewarding things about being a spray tan artist.
When I'm not running my business, I love spending time with my family, traveling, summer nights, and going to as many concerts as possible.
I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve the PERFECT tan, whether it be for special event or to just have glowing skin year round!
XO,
Christina

Steps to Your Perfect Tan
Pre-Tan Instructions
Prep Instructions:
1. Shower, shave and exfoliate 8-24 hours prior to your appointment. Using a gel-based body wash is best. NO DOVE! Showering and shaving too close to your spray tan appointment can negatively alter the way your skin processes the solution.
2. If you are getting a wax, massage, pedicure/nails, lash extensions etc. complete these services at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. This will ensure the oils and products used have had time to wash off of your skin. Do not use retinol or salicylic products the week leading up to your tan.
3. Come to your appointment with your skin free of all products. This includes jewelry, lotions, deodorant, make-up, oils and perfumes.
4. Sunburn policy: You will need to wait 4 weeks after a peeling burn to get a spray tan. Failure to do so, will result in a very uneven/splotchy tan.
Post-Tan Instructions
Post Spray Tan Instructions:
1. Following your spray tan, avoid any water exposure. This includes sweating, swimming and showering before your designated rinse time. Your recommended shower time will be provided at your appointment.
2. Avoid applying make-up, oils, lotions, deodorants and perfume until after your first shower.
3. To avoid stained palms, avoid palm to skin contact while your tan is developing.
4. When it is time for your first shower, do not use soap. Just a water rinse is recommended. If you see streaks after getting out of the shower, hop back in and use your hand to guide the leftover bronzer off. Pat dry with your towel. The more water exposure your skin has, the faster the spray tan will fade. Keep the water temperature lukewarm for that first shower.
Have a question? We have an answer...
When should I schedule my spray tan?
2 days before your event is best. If you are getting a tan for a vacation, try and schedule your tan the day before your trip so your color is FRESH and can last as long as possible.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear dark, loose/baggy sweats, long sleeve baggy top and slides/sandals.
Don't wear leggings, tight pants, sports bras, shorts, tank tops, socks and closed toe shoes of any kind for an even development.
Do you use the same solution on everyone?
No! Solutions are not a one size fits all. I will do a short consult before starting your spray tan to determine what your end goal is and determine your undertones to custom mix your solution.
Will I turn orange?
There is no “one shade fits all” around here! Every client's spray tan solution will be tailored and custom mixed to each client's skin type and undertones using color theory.
How long will the spray tan last?
On average, clients who use rapid solution will see their tan last roughly 5-7 days.
Clients who use the 8 hour solution will see their tan last approximately 7-12 days.
It's important to remember that everyone's skin is different. Spray tan results will be affected by the way you prep and take care of your tan.
Other factors that can affect the development of your tan: medication, pregnancy and hormones.
How can I make my tan last longer?
Tips to make your tan last longer:
1.Take short showers and opt for products that are specifically made for maintaining spray tans. Some products, such as tan extenders or gradual tanning lotions, can help enhance and prolong your tan. Make sure these products are free of mineral oils and harsh chemicals that could strip away the color. Typically harsh chemicals such as BHA, salicylic acid and anti-aging products. Stay away from Dove, Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body products. They will strip your tan right off.
Hempz and Sjolie Body Renew are my favorite go to daily moisturizers! If you need spray tan safe body products, I offer a full line at my studio.
2. Prolonged exposure to water can cause your spray tan to fade faster. Keep shower times short and try to avoid hot baths, swimming pools, salty water, and hot tubs, they can be contributing factors to your tan fading.
Do you have a cancellation policy?
Yes, we do. We get it...life happens and things come up. I am more than happy to work with you on rescheduling your appointment but when you don't show, I can't fill your appointment time with someone else.
- All appointments not canceled/rescheduled within 24 hours may be charged a fee of 50% of your scheduled appointment price.
- Failing to cancel or no show will automatically subject you to 100% of the booked service.
- If you are running late, I allow a 10 minute window. After 10 minutes you will be booked as a no show and your card will be charged for the service that you booked.
