A skin cancer diagnosis changed everything for Luna Bronze co-founder Maddy Balderson, ultimately inspiring her and best friend Rhiannon Hall to create a self-tanning brand built around one simple idea: you shouldn't have to damage your skin to get a glow. The Australian founders join us to discuss how Luna Bronze went from a personal mission to a cult-favorite tanning brand (now at Ulta Beauty), why skincare-first self-tanning matters, and the ingredients and innovations helping modern self-tanners look (and smell) better than ever. Plus, we get their best application tips, the biggest tanning mistakes people make, and their personal skin cancer screening routines.
