Protect Your Highlights When Tanning

by Victoria - 24. February, 2011 09:44

With Spring on it’s way, it’s time to brighten up our hairstyles and color. If you get highlights done, you’ll want to protect them so the color doesn’t change when you go into the tanning bed. Like natural sunlight, your hair may change colors over time when you go to the tanning bed.

To prevent this, we recommend using a product that is like a shower cap. You just slip it over your hair before you get into the tanning bed, and it will keep your highlights looking just like they did when you walked out of the salon.

It’s cheap, easy, and keeps your hair looking great!

Vitamin D Awareness Month

by Victoria - 17. February, 2011 11:14

Even though you may get plenty of Vitamin D through sunlight in the Spring and Summer months, many people have a Vitamin D deficiency in Fall and Winter. While dairy provides a powerful punch of Vitamin D, sometimes it just isn’t enough.

Our bodies convert sunlight into Vitamin D kind of like how a plant processes sunlight to make food. Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium in the blood stream, which is vital to maintaining bone strength and tooth health. So if you are Vitamin D deficient, you are more prone to fractures and cavities.

Because sunlight likes to hide during Fall and Winter, tanning beds are a good way to combat the lack of sun. Even though it’s not natural sunlight, each tanning bed has UV rays, which helps your body product Vitamin D.

So you not only get to relax in the tanning bed, but do something good for yourself and give your body that needed sunlight to product Vitamin D.

Get Ready for Spring

by Victoria - 15. February, 2011 09:43

It may not feel like it, but Spring is just around the corner. So this means it’s time to start building your tan if you haven’t already. Here are some tips on how to get ready for Spring.

-       Start going to the tanning salon now.

-       Unless you’re a sun goddess, it’s going to take time to build a good base tan.

-       The lower-powered tanning beds (like the Fast and Faster beds) are going to be your best friend. They provide both types of UV rays so you will not only build a base tan, but your tan will be very natural looking.

-       The only downfall with using the Fast and Faster tanning beds is, well, you won’t get results as quickly as if you tanned in a High Powered bed (like the Instant). Every few visits, do an upgrade and go into the Fastest or Instant tanning bed. This will provide you with a nice boost so you will see the results faster. If you’re anything like me, patience is not always a virtue.

-       Moisturize, moisturize, and when you think you can’t moisturize anymore… do it. When you’re tanning every couple of days, your skin is going to dry out faster than normal. Bottom line, dry skin doesn’t tan as well. So use a good quality tanning lotion before you tan, and apply a good tan extender after your shower. Moisturize from the inside by drinking water, and your skin will have a nice healthy shine.

-       Exfoliate every once in a while when you’re bathing. It will knock off the dead skin that doesn’t tan as easily anymore. And will bring the healthy, ready-to-tan skin to the top.

-       And last but not least, any time you have a question just ask! Our Tanning Consultants and our Facebook and Twitter pages are at your ready.

Come One, Come All! It’s Free Tan Week!

by Victoria - 8. February, 2011 09:39

Good things come to those who wait, and even though this only happens a couple times through the year it’s FREE TAN WEEK! From February 7 – 13, we invite everyone to come to any Sun Tan City tanning salon for free tanning.

If you’re not a member with Sun Tan City, or your membership is frozen right now, you will be able to tan for free all week long in the Fast tanning bed. And you’ll be able to upgrade into higher-level beds with standard Club Sun Member Upgrade Pricing.

If you are an active member with Sun Tan City, you will be able to tan in the next level bed for free all week long. And you’ll also get weekend Member Upgrade pricing in the upper levels!

This week only, all products are 20% off! And Instant members will receive an additional $10 off in salons.

It’s a very busy time in our salons because so many people come into tan in our cutting-edge tanning equipment, so the wait may be a little bit longer than normal. But to me, it’s worth it to get something awesome for free!

And remember, if you ever have any questions about products or how long you should tan, our Tanning Consultants go through rigorous training on how to get our clients the best tan possible.

Valentine’s Day

by Victoria - 7. February, 2011 09:37

Valentine’s Day is a very special time for so many couples, and if you’re anything like me you want to look your absolute best. I’m going to share my little routine on how I get ready for my Valentine’s Day date every year.

The first thing I do to pamper my skin is to exfoliate while I’m in the shower, then apply a good tan extender lotion afterwards. This makes my skin very soft and silky – perfect for being touched.

Next, I do the Double Dip at Sun Tan City. I apply a good indoor tanning lotion and face lotion, then slide into the Instant bed for a few minutes. I bring my iPod so I can listen to something really relaxing like opera or the sound of waves. I love the music Sun Tan City plays, but when I’m taking a long bubble bath I always listen to opera.

Then after my warm Instant session is done, I step into the VersaSpa. The Tanning Consultants always help me choose which level I get. But when I’m pampering myself for Valentine’s Day, I add on the moisturizing solution to give my skin a little treat. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it looks great!

And on my way out the door, I pick up the hottest bottle of OPI in the lobby and take that with me to get my nails done the next day.

So that’s my little routine. What’s yours?

I hope you all have a lovely Valentine’s Day with someone you love!
