Tanning Consultant Tips – Maximizing Your Tanning Time

by Victoria - 8. May, 2012 08:00

While your time in a Sun Tan City bed may be the most relaxing part of your day, it’s our most important time of day. We’re dedicated to helping you get a beautiful, bronze glow. And while you may know the basics of healthy tanning, the experts at Sun Tan City want you to maximize your tanning time! Here are a few simple tips and tricks to get the most out of our beds.

Before you tan, make sure to prep your skin. This means having clean, moisturized skin. Moisturized skin will not only feel softer, but will hold a tan better as well. So make sure regular at-home moisturizing is part of your skin-care routine. It’s also a good idea to remove make-up and not wear deodorant or perfume while tanning. Both can interfere with tanning lotion and the UV rays, which can lead to a discolored or uneven tan.

When you tan, be sure to use a tanning lotion. Tanning lotions are designed to help you get a darker, long-lasting tan. And remember, the Tanning Consultants at Sun Tan City are always there to help you find an indoor tanning lotion that will help you get the best tan possible.

While there is no need to flip during your session in any of the beds at Sun Tan City, some people prefer to put their arms over their head to make sure their arms and underarms tan evenly. If this is uncomfortable, try one of Sun Tan City’s Fastest tanning beds, which are designed with a facial tanner, shoulder tanner, and full-body 160-watt reflector lamps that will give you a perfect tan from head to toe.

After you tan, moisturize some more! Tan extenders will keep your post-tan skin moisturized, which will help your tan develop and last longer. Our Tanning Consultants can help you find a tan extender that will keep your skin moist and your tan golden long after your visit.

For best results, you should tan regularly, but not every day. We recommend waiting 36-48 hours between visits so your tan can fully develop, which equates to no more than 2 – 3 times a week. That’s plenty of tanning for building and maintaining your base glow.

Getting the most out of your tan at Sun Tan City is easy. Between our high-quality beds, luxurious tanning lotions, and expert tanning advice from our Tanning consultants, you have all you need to get a beautiful, long-lasting tan. Happy tanning!

Tanning Consultant Tips: How to Tan

by Victoria - 16. February, 2012 08:00

We all tan differently, so knowing your skin type and speaking with a tanning expert at Sun Tan City is always advised. We pride ourselves on being experts in the tanning industry, and are here to share our experience to help make the most of your experience.

At Sun Tan City, you can get a great tan any time of year, so you need to know how to tan in order to maximize your experience! Here are some thought-starters…

- Pick the appropriate apparel to wear during your visit. If you have a lot of halter-tops or strapless tops, then you want to avoid straps in the wrong spots.

- Wear approved protective eye wear during every visit. State and federal regulations require that every time you tan, you wear eye wear that protects against 99% of UVA rays and 99.9% of UVB rays. We offer temporary and multi-use goggles at every Sun Tan City location.

- Tan in a bed that is right for you! Any of our tanning consultants can gauge your skin type and recommend a length of tanning session and appropriate tanning bed that will be the best choice for you.

- Use approved lotions for tanning. Outdoor tanning lotions are not OK in the beds, so ask one of our expertly trained tanning consultants to guide you through our products and explain how they can help your tanning experience.

And lastly, ask questions! We are always here to help and guide you through the process. Tanning is our passion and we love to talk about it!!

Find Out Your Skin Type to Plan Your Tan

by Victoria - 19. January, 2012 08:00

Whether you are a seasoned tanning veteran or a newbie to the tanning lifestyle, it’s important to know what kind of skin you’re in. At Sun Tan City, our expert tanning consultants can help you develop a personal tanning plan that will maximize your time at the tanning salon and the life of your tan. In order to better assist you, we suggest taking a short quiz to better identify your skin type.

To take this foolproof quiz, visit our trusted friends at Be Bright. This site provides helpful resources as well as the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Chart, a very helpful skin quiz that can define what skin type you have, and determine the best type of tanning you could be doing at Sun Tan City.

Visit Be Bright to participate, and at the end, pay special attention to the numeric scale. It provides a range for each of the six skin-type categories. Bring in your total points and skin type to Sun Tan City, where our tanning consultants can recommend the appropriate tanning bed and tan time based on your skin sensitivity score.

We’re excited to start developing a tanning program with you! Stop by any of our 200+ tanning salon locations to get tanning!

And don’t forget, we’ll be at the Ramada Hotel on Bluegrass Parkway, Louisville, KY on Saturday, January 22 during the Special Occasions Bridal Show. Stop by and see us! We’d love to talk about your wedding and see how Sun Tan City can help make you the most beautiful bride!

Tanning Salon Consultant Tips – Skin Care

by Victoria - 17. January, 2012 08:00

We tan to look and feel our best, so why wouldn’t you go the extra mile to lengthen the life of your tan?! Here are some easy skin care tips that you can incorporate into your daily regime to help extend the life of your tan and that healthy, natural glow.

Moisturize! The process of tanning reduces the natural moisture levels in your skin, so using sun tan lotions before and after tanning is paramount. Sun Tan City is an exclusive carrier of the innovative Blend skin care line. Just ask your local Tanning Consultant to see which product is best for your skin type and the level of tanning you are doing.

Invest in a good face lotion, and use it! Your facial skin is the most sensitive and prone to wrinkles, blemishes and dryness. By keeping your face moisturized and clean of dirt and residue during the tanning process, you can help guarantee a healthy facial glow.

Drink plenty of fluids! Moisturizing your skin from the inside is equally as important as from the outside. The average recommended daily fluid intake is about 1.9 liters, which is roughly eight 8-ounce glasses. It’s a simple rule to remember – “8 x 8.” Just keep in mind water is best, but all fluids count towards the 1.9 liter goal.

Consider Sunless tanning! The VersaSpa and Mystic systems are the most sophisticated sunless tanning booths on the market, and at Sun Tan City you have cost effective access! For the rest of January, you can benefit from our Double Dip sunless tanning special. One UV tanning session and one sunless tanning session for only $49!

If you still have questions, our expert tanning consultants are always available for you at any of our tanning salon locations. Or, please feel free to reach out to us on Facebook and Twitter – we’re always available to chat up our favorite topic…tanning!

Sunless Don’ts

by Victoria - 29. September, 2011 10:58

All good things come to those who wait, and yes, this even applies to sunless tanning.

After your sunless tanning visit, it takes 4 – 6 hours for your skin to do its magic – even if you get the Tinted VersaSpa solution. You get immediate color with Tinted, but it still takes some time for it to completely set.

During the 4 – 6 hours after you do your sunless tan, it’s important to NOT do the following:
- Apply moisturizer
- Shower
- Sweat
- Get rained on (if it is raining when you’re leaving our salon, our Tanning Consultants will walk you out with an umbrella)
- Wear tight-fitting clothing

I always receive the best results when I can just go home and go to bed in some comfy pj’s. And even if the color rubs off a little bit on your sheets, the solution is water-soluble so it won’t stain. Just throw your sheets in the washer and you’ll be good to go.

Medicines and Sun Tanning

by Victoria - 27. September, 2011 10:56

Some medications are UV sensitive, which means they can be weakened or affected by UV exposure. So we always suggest you check with your doctor before you start indoor tanning to make sure it won’t have an effect on your medications. And if you start a new medication, make sure you talk to your doctor about your tanning routine just to make sure your medication isn’t UV sensitive.

If it does turn out that your medication is UV sensitive and you still want to have a golden tan, sunless tanning is a good alternative for you. It’s quick, easy, and because we only use state-of-the-art equipment in our salons we guarantee that you’ll have a natural looking, gorgeous tan. And the plus side of sunless tanning is it doesn’t take as much time to maintain as indoor tanning.

So if you’re interested in trying the VersaSpa, your Tanning Consultant will be able to answer any and all questions you may have. And since they have gone through extensive training, they will be able to help you choose the perfect sunless color for you.

Sunless Tips

by Victoria - 22. September, 2011 09:43

Sunless tanning is a great way to get a natural looking tan quickly, but prepping is the most important part to get the sunless tan you dreamed of.

First, you’ll want to shave and exfoliate before you get a sunless tan. And even though you’ll want to, do not apply moisturizer after you get out of the shower. This will keep the solution from absorbing as much into your skin.

A trick I always do to get even color is to use the VersaSpa Prep Gel. It’s a little packet you can purchase at the counter, and you apply it just like tanning lotion. The Prep Gel opens your pores so your skin will soak in more of the VersaSpa solution, which means you will get a deeper tan.

The Prep Gel is just like a lotion, so you won’t need to do anything after you apply it. Just do the VersaSpa like you always do, and let the Prep Gel do it’s magic. You don’t wipe it off afterwards, so you’ll be ready to hit the town as soon as you’re done with your VersaSpa session.

Do I Really Need to Use a Facial Lotion?

by Victoria - 15. September, 2011 09:39

Plain and simple, yes. The skin on your face is the most sensitive skin on your body, which means it will have the most dramatic reaction to your environment. This is why it’s important to pamper your face with facial lotion when you’re tanning in a tanning bed.

Facial tanning lotion has that extra punch of nutrients that will replenish your skin and make it look firm and young.

When applying, you’ll want to cover all of the skin that would be exposed when you’re wearing a v-neck shirt. So your face, neck and part of your chest are covered. But before you do this, you need to remove your makeup. You’re more than welcome to use our restrooms at Sun Tan City to remove your makeup, and to reapply when you’re done tanning before you get back to your busy life.
