Behind the Glow: My Week Training with Isabel Alysa, Spray Tan Artist to the Stars

This past week, I had the absolute honor of being personally trained by Isabel Alysa — founder of Dolce Glow and the spray tan artist behind some of the most iconic glows in Hollywood. And let me tell you: it was transformative, for me as a professional and for what I can now offer you as a client of Hinterland Skin.

Isabel is known for creating bronzed, radiant skin that looks effortless, dimensional, and completely natural — and she’s the trusted tan artist for names like Kim Kardashian, JLo, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Khloe Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato, Ashley Graham, and Kendall Jenner, to name just a few.

This is the woman who was personally requested to tan Demi Lovato for their wedding — yes, the wedding — and who sculpted Kim Kardashian’s glow for a Skims campaign that took over Instagram. Dolce Glow has also been featured in Vogue, Forbes, and Elle, and Isabel’s custom contouring technique has been called a “red carpet essential” by celebrity stylists and glam squads.

✨ So why is this such a big deal for Hinterland Skin? Because now, you get access to this level of glow.

During this in-depth, hands-on training, I learned her exact technique — the subtle sculpting, expert layering, and meticulous approach to detail that defines the Dolce Glow look. Isabel’s method isn’t just about adding color; it’s about using light and shadow to enhance your natural shape, create definition, and bring out your best features. It’s beauty, but with an edge of artistry. A glow that speaks before you do.

Her philosophy — which aligns so beautifully with what Hinterland Skin is all about — is rooted in empowerment and confidence. Spray tanning is not about “fixing” anything. It’s about enhancing what’s already there, helping you feel like the most radiant, magnetic version of yourself.

💫 What You Can Expect Now at Hinterland Skin
From now on, every tan I apply incorporates the subtle artistry I learned from Isabel herself. Whether you're looking for a soft all-over bronze or a more contoured, red carpet-ready finish, I now offer a refined level of customization, depth, and luxury.

Introducing: The Contoured Glow
This new service takes your tan to the next level — adding strategic contouring to accentuate your collarbones, elongate the legs, define the waistline, and bring balance to your overall silhouette. Think: sun-kissed with a sculptor’s touch. Perfect for weddings, vacations, photoshoots… or just because you want to feel 🔥.

And the best part? You don’t need to be on a red carpet to experience this kind of glow. That’s what Hinterland Skin is here for — to bring celebrity-level confidence to everyday women.

This week changed everything. And now, I get to bring that magic home to you.
