CONTOUR TANNING NIJMEGEN: HAND-APPLIED SCULPTING TAN FOR A NATURAL GLOW | SKINSYMPHONY

Contour Tanning Nijmegen: Hand-Applied Sculpting Tan for a Natural Glow | SkinSymphony

At SkinSymphony in Nijmegen, our Contour Tanning treatment is a completely bespoke alternative to traditional fake tanning. This is not a spray tan—each application is carefully applied by hand, allowing us to sculpt, define, and enhance your natural shape while creating a flawless, sun-kissed finish.

Perfect for holidays, events, or simply feeling more confident in your skin, this treatment delivers glowing, even-toned skin with subtle body contouring.


What is Contour Tanning?

Contour Tanning is a luxury hand-applied tanning treatment designed to enhance both your skin tone and body definition.


Your treatment is applied in two stages:

Layer 1: HD Contouring (Brush Application)

Using a specialist brush, a deeper tone is applied to targeted areas such as:

  • Abs
  • Waistline
  • Back definition
  • Arms
  • Legs

This creates a subtle contouring effect, helping the body appear more sculpted and defined.


Layer 2: Full Body Tan (Hand Application)

A second layer of tan is then applied by hand across the entire body to blend and perfect the result, leaving the skin with a smooth, natural-looking glow.

The result is even, radiant skin with enhanced definition—never patchy or orange.


Benefits of Contour Tanning


Natural, Sun-Kissed Glow

Achieve beautifully bronzed skin without UV exposure or sun damage.


Enhances Body Shape

Subtle contouring creates the illusion of more defined muscles and a smoother silhouette.


Evens Skin Tone

Helps blur imperfections, redness, and uneven pigmentation.


Streak-Free, Tailored Finish

Because the tan is applied by hand, the result is highly controlled and customised.


Confidence Boosting

Perfect before holidays, weddings, photoshoots, or special events.


How to Prepare for Your Fake Tan

Preparation is key to achieving a flawless, long-lasting result:

24–48 Hours Before:

  • Exfoliate thoroughly to remove dead skin cells
  • Focus on dry areas (elbows, knees, ankles)
  • Shave or wax at least 24 hours before
  • Avoid heavy or oil-based products

On the Day:

  • Do not apply moisturiser, deodorant, or perfume
  • Wear loose, dark clothing
  • Arrive with clean, dry skin

This ensures your hand-applied tan develops evenly and lasts longer.


Aftercare: How to Make Your Tan Last Longer

To maintain your glow for as long as possible:

  • Avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing for 6–8 hours
  • Shower gently using lukewarm water
  • Pat skin dry—avoid rubbing
  • Moisturise daily to maintain an even fade
  • Avoid long hot baths, saunas, and chlorine

With the correct aftercare, your tan will fade gradually and evenly over 7–10 days.


Treatments to Avoid After Tanning

To protect your results, avoid treatments that exfoliate or disrupt the skin:

  • Microneedling
  • Microdermabrasion
  • Chemical peels
  • Laser treatments
  • Strong exfoliating facials
  • Waxing until the tan has faded

These can remove your tan unevenly or cause patchiness.

  • Want a natural-looking fake tan without streaks
