Cape Town’s summer is iconic, consisting of long beach days, warm evenings, outdoor events, and endless social plans. It’s the season where everyone wants to look radiant, fresh, and naturally sun-kissed.
The best (and safest) way to achieve that glow? A flawless, professional spray tan.
At Nova Beauty Studio, spray tans aren’t just an add-on treatment, they’re part of your summer beauty ritual. Here’s why every Cape Town girl (yes you!) needs one this season.
A Gorgeous Glow Without Sun Damage
Cape Town’s UV index in summer is intense. Even a short time in the sun can cause:
Premature ageing
Pigmentation
Fine lines
Sunburn
Long-term skin damage
A spray tan gives you that radiant bronze without sacrificing your skin’s health. You get the glow and protect your skin. It's literally the best of both worlds.
Instant Confidence Boost
A fresh spray tan makes you feel like a glowing, golden goddess. Clients love how it:
evens out skin tone, makes legs look longer, enhances muscle definition, minimises blemishes and eliminates the “winter pale” feeling. You walk out of the salon looking like you just got back from a luxury island holiday (even if you’ve been indoors all week.)
Perfect for All Summer Events
We all know that Cape Town comes alive in summer. Cape Town’s festive season is filled with: beach days, weddings, yacht parties, rooftop brunches, festivals and of course Christmas & New Year celebrations. A spray tan keeps you event-ready at all times. No makeup required, just you in your glowing skin. Your glow becomes the accessory.
Safe for All Skin Types
Unlike sunbeds or sunbathing, spray tans are a safe, non-toxic option suitable for all skin types. At Nova Beauty Studio, we use cruelty-free formulas that hydrate and nourish while delivering a natural, streak-free colour.
No orange tones. No harsh chemicals. Just a smooth, elegant glow. Simple.
Boosts Your Summer Wardrobe
A tan makes everything look better. White dresses pop which is perfect for brides! Bikinis look more flattering, gold jewellery shines brighter, nails stand out and makeup looks softer and more radiant. A spray tan elevates every look.
The Perfect Pair With Lash Extensions
Cape Town summer calls for low-maintenance beauty. You want to look stunning without needing full makeup in 30° heat! A spray tan + lash extensions = Bright, wide-awake eyes, effortless glow and ready from the moment you wake up
It’s the ultimate holiday combination.
Lasts Through Beach Days & Pool Time
With good prep and aftercare, your spray tan can last 7–10 days. Even through salt water, sun, and sweaty summer adventures!
At Nova, we guide you through every step so your tan fades naturally, evenly, and beautifully.
A Luxury Self-Care Moment
Summer is busy and sometimes you just need that hour to yourself.
