Glow Boss spray tanning has been a lifesaver on Villanova’s campus and in the Bryn Mawr area for those women who want to get a natural spray tan but don’t want to leave their homes. Glow Boss is a mobile spray tanning service that will deliver you an all-organic, vegan spray tan. The employees of Glow Boss are all college women who promote the company on campus and actually do the spraying.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Sophie Twyman, a sophomore at Villanova and an employee of Glow Boss. Sophie has described her experience as one that is truly valuable, and disclosed to me, “Being an employee has been so fun and rewarding. Every time I tan someone they say something like, ‘Wow, I feel like myself again’, and I love being able to give people that confidence, which is exactly what Glow Boss is about!”
Glow Boss has received 603 applications from prospective employees in 198 different locations. Villanova’s campus currently has two representatives for Glow Boss, including Sophie! If you would like to apply and be a part of this mobile tanning service, check out their website at https://www.glowboss.co/apply-to-become-a-glow-boss. Glow Boss is currently looking for more college women who want to promote the company and learn marketing and entrepreneurship skills.

Glow Boss offers a variety of shades with their doctor formulated, natural solution. Sophie stated, “My favorite part of a Glow Boss tan is that it has pink undertones, which delivers the most natural spray tan I’ve ever seen. You never look orange or unnatural which was something that kept me away from spray tans in the past.” Orange skin and artificial ingredients have always steered me away from spray tans as well from sunless tans, but rest assured there is no need to fear a tanning mishap when you schedule with Glow Boss.
Natural skin care is important because it affects our physical and mental health. Glow Boss tans allow you to avoid not only the UV rays from the sun, but additionally unnatural ingredients including alcohol, parabens, and artificial perfumes or preservatives which can cause long-term harmful health effects.
There are also organic serum drops which can be added to your tan. Your first option is a skin care drop of organic acai berry and sage to infuse your tan with Vitamins E, K, A, and C to improve your skin’s health and provide antioxidants. Your second option is lavender moisturizing drops of organic coconut milk and lavender to promote long-term skin health and nourish dry skin. Your third option is anti-aging drops of organic green tea and hibiscus to provide a youthful look to your tan. Any shade of tan or serum you choose are all guaranteed to make you feel more confident like the true boss you are. Also, since the tan is from natural ingredients, there should not be a possibility of breaking out from a Glow Boss tan.
In terms of pricing for Villanova students, the first tan is $32, a regular tan is $40, and a group of 3+ is $30/each. These prices are advantageous, especially because the tan is brought to you at home! Sophie filled me in: “There are constantly promotions on our Instagram account (@glowboss.co) for special times of the year such as holidays, spring break, and formal events.” To book your tan, go to the link (www.glowboss.co) under Villanova, where you can then select the date and time that works with your schedule. Sophie reveals, “People are surprised that I can literally come into a dorm or apartment and give you a quality spray tan in under 15 minutes- it’s like the Uber of spray tans!”

If you are lucky enough to get Sophie to spray you, she will reach out before your scheduled time to make sure all of your questions are answered. All information regarding when you can exfoliate, shave, moisturize, etc. are all emailed to you after you book your tan. All tans last anywhere from 1-2 weeks depending on how you maintain it.
So before bikini season or your next formal event, or if you just want a boost of confidence, book your spray tan with Glow Boss for vegan, organic, natural pick-me-up!
