Tanning 101: How Tanning Works

by Victoria - 17. September, 2009 10:44

We know you love tanning, and we love watching you shine! But have you ever wondered how tanning works? We’re not talking how to tan or why you tan, but how the actual tanning process happens. That’s what this blog is all about.

Tanning is your body’s natural defense to the sun; when the rays hit your skin and go to your melanocyte cell, the cell produces melanin and releases it. The melanin then rises to the top of your skin and oxidizes; that’s what makes you tan.

UV-A rays are the longest, and when they contact your skin, they penetrate the deepest, down into the dermis layer, and produce those rich gold and brown tones you love. We like to call them “gentle tanning” rays because they gradually begin the tanning process from the inside out.

UV-B rays are shorter rays, but are much more intense than UV-A rays. They remain at the top layer of your skin, and stimulate your skin to release melanin, which is your body’s chemical that creates your tan. UV-A rays oxidize melanin released by UV-B rays, which is what creates your familiar tanning colors. But be careful—too much UV-B can cause your skin to redden.

By using specially designed lamps in our bed to expose you evenly to different levels of these rays, we can create the perfect all-over color you know and love.

Making a Difference with the Pink Lounge Sponsorship

by Victoria - 10. September, 2009 10:32

Here at Sun Tan City, we think it’s very important to support the communities we are in. This is why we sponsor so many events throughout the year. Ranging from sporting events to Chamber of Commerce events and even fashion shows, Sun Tan City does our best to support a wide arrange of events in our communities.

The latest event we sponsored was the Pink Tie Lounge for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Pink Tie Ball, which raises money for local breast cancer projects and “celebrates breast cancer survivorship and recognizes an individual, whose contributions have made a difference in the breast cancer fight, through the Komen Promise of One award.”

We are so proud to be able to help such a great cause, and have fun while doing so.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and for all of the planners. Great job!

Labor Day Hours

by Victoria - 1. September, 2009 10:27

Happy Labor Day! We hope you enjoy your day off and take the opportunity to relax, sleep in, and spend time with friends and family.

Remember, if you decide to spend time out in the sun today, wear a good SPF sunscreen, especially if you’re working on maintaining a glowing bronze tan. Accidentally getting uneven exposure or burning can really interrupt any of the specially crafted tanning regimes you may be working on with us here at Sun Tan City.

Stay hydrated, stay sun safe, and have FUN!

Sun Tan City will be closed on Labor Day, but we’ll see you on the 8th during our normal tanning hours.

 

Hope to see you then!
