If you've ever considered getting a spray tan but hesitated because you were afraid of turning orange, you're not alone. It's one of the most common concerns we hear from first-time clients. The good news? Modern spray tanning has come a long way, and the "orange spray tan" is largely a thing of the past.
Where Did the Orange Spray Tan Myth Come From?
Years ago, self-tanners and early spray tanning formulas often produced unnatural orange tones. These products used outdated ingredients and limited color technology, resulting in an artificial appearance that many people still associate with spray tanning today.
Unfortunately, those old experiences created a lasting misconception that all spray tans look orange.
Modern Spray Tans Are Designed to Look Natural
Today's professional spray tanning solutions are formulated with advanced color blends that mimic the natural tones of sun-kissed skin. Rather than simply adding an orange hue, professional solutions combine bronzes, olives, violets, browns, and other undertones to create a customized result that complements your skin tone.
At Bronzed Bliss Tans, we carefully select professional-grade solutions designed to deliver a natural-looking glow—not an orange one.
Why Some People Still Turn Orange
When someone ends up with an orange-looking tan, it's usually due to one of these factors:
Poor Quality Products
Not all tanning solutions are created equal. Lower-quality products often contain color blends that don't adapt well to different skin tones.
Incorrect Color Matching
A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to unnatural results. The right solution should be selected based on your skin tone and desired level of darkness.
Excessive Product Application
More isn't always better. Over-applying tanning solution can create an unnatural appearance and uneven fade.
DIY Self-Tanners
Many over-the-counter self-tanning products lack the customization and professional application techniques that produce a flawless finish.
What a Professional Spray Tan Should Look Like
A great spray tan should have people asking:
"Did you just get back from vacation?"
Not:
"Did you get a spray tan?"
The goal is a healthy, radiant glow that enhances your natural beauty while looking completely believable.
Benefits of Spray Tanning Over Sun Tanning
In addition to avoiding harmful UV exposure, spray tanning offers:
Immediate results
Even color without tan lines
Customizable depth of color

A confidence boost for vacations, weddings, events, and everyday life
