ABT member glows representing UK at spray tan conference

ABT member Izabela Jachowska represented the UK recently at the Tan Code Conference and Championship held in Lithuania.

The event brought together spray tan professionals plus an expert jury/ guest speakers and industry sponsors, for a full day of education, networking and friendly competition.

The programme was packed with inspiring presentations on topics ranging from mixology (the art of blending solutions to create the perfect shade for every client) to working with challenging skin reactions, increasing profit through retail sales and growing a successful spray tan business.

Among the international highlights was the participation of award-winning spray tan artist and educator Izabela Jachowska of Spray Tan Leicester (@spray_tan_leicester), and Brigita Micke (@GloyaTan), who together represented the United Kingdom.

Izabela, invited specifically to share her advanced spray tanning knowledge and techniques, delivered a presentation on the exacting bodybuilder spray tanning protocol and later demonstrated the art of spray tan face contouring alongside Brigita.

Tan Code competitors impressed the jury with their creativity and precision as they worked to meet clear judging criteria. Their passion for advanced techniques confirmed how far the industry has evolved, turning spray tanning into a recognised craft that blends artistry with technical skill.

For the UK representatives, the event provided a chance to share cutting-edge expertise and to strengthen international links.

Looking ahead, Izabela and Brigita will continue to build international connections by hosting GLOWFEST, the first UK meet-up designed especially for spray tan artists, scheduled to take place on 31st January 2026 in London.
