About Be You by Caitlin

The concept of Be You by Caitlin was inspired when Caitlin discovered a tanning solution via Instagram that she loved – Sonste. First it was the natural colour on the skin, and then the constant compliments on her tan; but after trying the self-tan mousse, with a formula that was both comfortable on the skin and looked as good as it felt, she was sold. Caitlin knew instantly that this tan was one that had to be invested in, and was a secret too good not to share!

After a few brainstorming sessions, and support and encouragement from Sonste’s founder Jayde Houndalas, Caitlin’s dream of opening her own tanning studio came to fruition. Be You by Caitlin is born out of a commitment to making others feel the best about themselves that they can be.

Be You by Caitlin offers clients a safe, natural-looking tan, and uses the full range of Sonste products throughout the studio experience, with everything from spray tan, to self-tan mousse, to before and after tan preparations.

Caitlin is highly dedicated in providing you with an exclusive feel-good tanning experience, whether it be for a special occasion or just to brighten your day. From the time you enter her beautiful studio in Torquay, you’ll love the feel and the natural look of Sonste and the Be You by Caitlin experience.
