Kim Kardashian's Tan Expert Isabel Alysa Shares Self-Tanner Tips

other · 2026-07-12

Isabel Alysa, spray-tan expert to Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus, and founder of Dolce Glow, offers advice for achieving a natural-looking faux tan. She warns that shaving on the day of application causes streaks, recommending exfoliation the day before. Dry areas like elbows, knees, hands, and feet absorb more pigment, so she suggests using less product or a lighter mist. For hands, she sprays in a 'bear claw' position to avoid stained palms. Alysa advises mimicking natural tan patterns by avoiding inner arms and underarms. To extend tan life, moisturize daily and avoid harsh scrubs; dry brushing by day four or five can refresh glow. For streaks, apply an oily substance, soak for 20 minutes, then scrub. An insider tip: she sprays Kim Kardashian's hair part for a seamless look.
