From the Boardwalk to the Redwoods: A Tan for Every Location

Whether you’re spending the day at the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, catching waves at Pleasure Point, or taking a scenic stroll along West Cliff Drive, you want a tan that looks authentic. At deSoleil, we specialize in custom airbrush tanning that mimics the exact color you’d get from a week in the Mediterranean—without the UV damage.

Maintaining Your Glow: Pro-Tips for Locals

To keep your tan looking fresh while hiking the UCSC Arboretum or shopping on Pacific Avenue, remember the golden rules of aftercare:

  1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water (essential for our active outdoor lifestyle!).

  2. Moisturize: Use oil-free lotions daily to prevent the tan from fading unevenly.

  3. Gently Dry: After a dip in the Monterey Bay or a session at your local yoga studio, always pat your skin dry.
