About us...
Us is Ngaire (me) and of course my long suffering husband who is not really involved but whom has to put up with me taking up plenty of space in our home to accomodate BEACHBABE TANZ operations.
I've been tanning now for over a year and have recently introduced make up artistry for that special occasion having completed a course at the renowned MAKE UP SCHOOL in Ponsonby, Auckland in July 2009.
Both activities are part-time ventures that enable me to get creative and have the pleasure of meeting and interacting with loads of fabulous people. The truly addictive aspect of it all is seeing the sheer delight that we all get from looking our best! It's a huge buzz to help others to realise how gorgeous they are.
I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service. I come to you, covering West, Central and other areas of Auckland by arrangement. You are also welcome to get tanned at my place!
BEACHBABE TANZ professional equipment is robust and with a pop up tent there is no mess and no fuss.
I use the wonderful 'CocoTanz' brand manufactured here in New Zealand and renowned in the industry. This beautiful solution is made by 'SPRAYTANZ' who are absolutely passionate about spray tanning. I feel the same way and BEACHBABE TANZ is proud to be affiliated with SPRAYTANZ.
All solutions are 'PARABEN FREE' with a range of pure ingredients including:
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a naturally occurring substance that is now the most popular and definitely healthier, way to achieve a tan.
Erythrulose works synergistically with DHA to provide an all over streak free tan; it's slower to develop than DHA so makes the tan last longer!
Aloe Vera and a MultiVitamin Complex to hydrate and nourish the skin.
Bronzer to give that instant 'WOW' gratification.

Spray tanning tips...
Preparation - these are general guidelines only. Speak to Ngaire for more details.
- Exfoliate thoroughly and moisturise the day before your tan is to be applied. This will remove dead skin and provide a new, smooth surface for your tan. Exfoliating helps to promote an even coverage and lengthens the duration of the tan
- Shave or wax and moisturise the night before your application NOT ON THE DAY of your tanning appointment
- Remove contact lenses, make-up, moisturiser, perfume and deodorant before your tanning application
It is recommended that you wear dark loose fitting clothing to and from your appointment. Solution washes out of most clothing very easily but tends to stain nylon and lycra materials, therefore dark coloured underwear is recommended. Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session - jandals or sandals are a good option.
Aftercare - for the initial period following your tan
- Allow at least 8 hours and overnight if possible before showering or taking a bath. This allows your tan to develop
- Avoid applying moisturises or deodorants until after your first shower
- Avoid wearing tight clothing for at least 5 hours
- Vigorous exercise and definitely swimming should be avoided for at least 8 hours as this can inhibit the development of your tan
- Don't shave until 12 hours after your treatment
- Avoid sitting on light coloured fabrics until you've showered or taken a bath as the colour guide (bronzer) can cause discolouration
Maintenance -to prolong your tan
- Moisturise regularly (use oil-free moisturiser or ask Ngaire about the Tan Extend product for purchase)
- Avoid long hot baths and showers as these speed up exfoliation
- Avoid exfoliating products and pat your skin dry after a bath or shower. Rubbing your skin may cause exfoliation and rub off your tan (ask Ngaire about the Tan Wash product for purchase)
- Avoid chlorinated swimming and spa pools as your tan may streak or fade in patches
- Swimming in sea water can also reduce your tan
