Craving that summertime glow? Head over to one of the two Sugared and Bronzed Locations for an airbrush tan. With their new location in Northern Liberties, Sugared and Bronzed offers the best tans for those on the go. Normal spray tans need to sit on your skin for multiple hours before washing; however, with Sugared and Bronzed, you can rinse within an hour after your spray and still receive the same results! They have four elixirs to choose from, so it’s up to you to decide if you want to look like you spent the day at the beach or just came back from a week-long tropical vacation. With over 14 years in the spray tan industry, founder Courtney Claghorn perfected her spray tan formula to not only achieve faster results but to prevent skin from drying during development, which increases the longevity of your tans. Next time you have an event, or are simply wanting to treat yourself, drop by Sugared and Bronzed for your next spray tan.
