The Ultimate Blue Water Girl Beauty Routine for the Perfect Tan & Glow

Being a Blue Water Girl means taking care of yourself in all ways and that includes having a solid beauty routine.

A good glow goes beyond just getting a tan. Prepping your skin before tanning and protecting it during UV exposure is just as important as looking and feeling fabulous. Whether you're heading on spring break, a summer vacation, or just tanning for the weekend, your skin deserves the best care.

Here are some BWG beauty routine secrets — from us to you.

Step 1: Exfoliate Before You Tan

Before you head out into the sun and use Private Island Glow (our tan accelerant), start in the shower with a deep exfoliator.

Exfoliating before tanning helps:

  • Remove dead skin
  • Create an even base
  • Boost your natural glow
  • Help your tan last longer

Try to stay away from heavy fragrances and focus on something that leaves a light oil behind. That way, your skin stays moisturized and ready to lock in hydration while you’re catching that summer glow.

Step 2: SPF + Reapplication = Long-Lasting Glow

Reapplying your SPF (and our tanning serums) throughout your UV exposure is crucial.

If you’re lying out on spring break or spending hours in the summer sun, your glow routine doesn’t stop after the first application.

Reapplying:

  • Protects your skin barrier
  • Prevents damage
  • Keeps your tan looking smooth
  • Maintains hydration

Who wouldn’t want to feel gorgeous and protected under strong rays?

The best glow is a protected glow.

Step 3: Post-Beach Reset (Non-Negotiable)

Post-beach showers are elite. Getting ready for dinner and heading out for a warm vacation night is one of the best parts of any beach trip.

But that post-beach skincare reset? Completely non-negotiable.

Even if you didn’t burn, aloe is your best friend. It locks moisture back into your skin after a full tanning day and keeps your glow looking fresh instead of dry.

Try swapping heavy winter serums for lighter formulas during summer. We love hyaluronic acid for after-sun care — it hydrates without weighing your skin down and enhances that natural, dewy glow.

Step 4: Glow From Day to Night

Being out in the sun is no joke — and taking care of your skin is what keeps your tan looking good long after your vacation ends.

When you properly:

  • Exfoliate
  • Use a tan accelerant
  • Reapply SPF
  • Hydrate post-sun

You don’t just get a tan — you get a long-lasting, healthy Blue Water Girl glow that carries from beach day to date night.

Because being glowy and fabulous isn’t just about the sun. It’s about how you treat your skin.
