Build Your Base Tan Before Summer!

by Victoria - 16. May, 2013 08:00

If you’re planning on getting any sun this year at the beach or pool, you’ll want to build a base tan to help prep your skin for the summer months.

It may have been awhile since you last visited us. If so, be sure to update any of your contact info so you can get back into the E-Club! Why? I’ll send you exclusive updates for our promotions that will help get you a bit more bang for your buck!

After you update your info, be sure to discuss what your tanning goals are with your expert Tanning Consultant. That way, they can determine when you need to have your base tan ready for action!  Also, tell them a bit about your lifestyle and budget so they can make some recommendations to match your tanning goals.

We will always recommend your exposure time to build gradually. For instance, our Fast level sunbed is typically 20 minutes. With this bed, we would recommend a very short tanning time. Shorter tanning times will help prevent burns and help us be sure your skin’s melanin develops properly. Another important reminder about tanning with us is you can only tan once every 24 hours.

Some tanning tips and tricks to follow throughout your tanning journey are to always exfoliate before your tanning session and always use one of our tan extenders after every sunbed visit. If you use a Sunless tanning booth, there are other guidelines to follow. Be sure to ask your Tanning Consultant for more details if you are interested in Sunless options.

Last but not least, always wear your eyewear. The FDA requires eye protection to be worn while utilizing any sunbed. We do sell temporary (one-time use) sticker eyewear or you can purchase goggles, which can be used multiple times.

If you have any additional questions about tanning at Sun Tan City, please be sure to send it to us by posting on our Facebook page or by tweeting us.

Mix Up Your Tanning Routine

by Victoria - 14. May, 2013 08:00

Ever feel like you’re in the same old routine, day after day? If you’re anything like me you love to change it up and tan in different sunbeds. When you do, you’re experiencing different levels of our sunbeds, which is great for your skin and helps you develop a deep, golden tan. Why? When you tan in different beds, you’ll be indulging in different light formulations, all of which have different benefits.

Our Fast level is our introductory sunbed. The lamps are high-quality and have been carefully selected to help you get a great tan. Many of the Fast sunbeds are used in 20-minute sessions, a tan time that allows you to have a long, relaxing tanning session.

Our Faster level is a slightly higher intensity sunbed, which is about two to three times better than the Fast level. This higher intensity makes sessions slightly shorter than those in the Fast sunbed. Overall, the Faster sunbed is a great option for a rich, even base tan with a reasonably faster turnaround time for results.

Our Fastest level sunbed is a fabulous way to get a deep base tan in four to seven sessions, depending upon your skin type. Another great feature is that the tan time in this sunbed is shorter than a Fast or Faster level bed. So, if you’re having a busy day but still want to get in and tan, this is a perfect option. The Fastest sunbed is equipped with several upscale features that include a high-pressure facial tanner, shoulder tanners and reflector lamps.

Our Instant level is our highest-intensity and highest-quality sunbed. Sessions can take up to 12 minutes, or less time if you choose. Tanners who use this bed can get a dark, natural base tan within two to three sessions, which makes it the absolute fastest way to get a natural, golden brown glow.

Finally, we have our Sunless tanning booths. These amazing tanning booths can give you a glow that can last four to seven days within a matter of minutes. Some of our salon locations include VersaSpa and MyMyst tanning booths. Be sure to check with your favorite Sun Tan City tanning salon for details on their Sunless booths.

Mixing up your sunbed routine will give you the results you want in a short—or extended—amount of time. Speak with your expert Tanning Consultant today, and make sure to tell them what levels you believe will fit your lifestyle, budget and tanning goals so they can assist you in the proper sunbed plan.

Tanning Goals and Resolutions for 2013

by Victoria - 26. March, 2013 08:00

With the New Year came a whole new schedule—I’m sure that rings true for many of us. We’re all trying to stay on task and ahead of the game with life and work. It is easy to stray from our original New Year’s resolutions and plans. The good news is we still have plenty of time to create a tanning plan and schedule that will allow us to get a deep, dark tan.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, be sure to use the proper tanning products to assist you in creating this new year, new you. Before each visit, whether it is in a sunbed or Sunless tanning booth, be sure to exfoliate your skin. The key to a healthy, glowing tan is to be sure to pick up a tanning lotion that will help your tan develop and a tan extender for after each tanning visit.

Sunless tanning is still a favorite of mine during the spring and summer months so I can have a quick, glowing tan for a date night, event or wedding. My favorite solution is the Medium, Clear with Hydration, and sometimes for an extra boost, I will get the Dark, Clear with Hydration. Don’t forget how easy it is to touch up at home; I use one of our Sunless Tanning sprays (all of them are great).

If you have any additional questions, be sure to ask one of our expert Tanning Consultants at your favorite Sun Tan City tanning salon to help you find a product that works for your lifestyle and budget. Hurry in so you can restart or maintain your tanning resolutions into the spring and the rest of the year!

Let a Tanning Consultant help you find all the products that will be best for your skin at the price points that work best for your budget. There’s not a better way to Let Yourself Shine this year, so drop by your favorite Sun Tan City salon today, and get your tan on! Happy tanning!

Build the Perfect Base Tan

by Victoria - 19. March, 2013 08:00

If you’re new to tanning at Sun Tan City, have no fear, your pal Vicki is here to help you navigate through your first few visits as you build a base tan.

First, be sure to drop by a local Sun Tan City tanning salon. All of our locations can be found on our website at http://www.suntancity.com/salon-locations/. Upon your arrival, one of our highly trained Tanning Consultants will have you fill out some paperwork that helps us determine your skin type.

Once you are finished with that part of the process, be sure to tell the Tanning Consultant when more about your vacation or event. That way, they can determine when you need to have your base tan ready for action!  Also, tell them a bit about your lifestyle and budget so they can make some recommendations to match your tanning goals.

For most skin types, a few tanning sessions will be required for your skin’s melanin to develop. We will always recommend your exposure time to build gradually. For instance, our Fast level sunbed is typically 20 minutes. With this bed, we would recommend a very short tanning time for you so you do not burn and so that we can be sure your skin’s melanin develops properly. Another important reminder about tanning with us is you can only tan once every 24 hours.

Some tanning tips and tricks to follow throughout your tanning journey are to always exfoliate before your tanning session and always use one of our tan extenders after every sunbed visit. If you use a Sunless tanning booth, there are other guidelines to follow. Be sure to ask your Tanning Consultant for more details if you are interested in Sunless options.

Another thing to consider would be what to wear while you tan. Some clients do not feel comfortable in their birthday suits, so they wear swimsuits; this is perfectly acceptable and up to your discretion. Before entering the sunbed, be sure to consult with the Tanning Consultant on positions you can lay or stand in to be sure to get a nice, even tan.

Last but not least, always wear your eyewear. The FDA requires eye protection to be worn while utilizing any sunbed. We do sell temporary (one-time use) sticker eyewear or you can purchase goggles, which can be used multiple times.

If you have any additional questions about tanning at Sun Tan City, please be sure to send it to us by posting on our Facebook page or by tweeting us.

Be a Sunbed Hopper!

by Victoria - 12. March, 2013 08:00

Bed hopping at Sun Tan City is something I highly recommend. Not only will you experience the different levels of our sunbeds, but your skin will also develop a deep, golden tan from all of the lamp formulations that you will be indulging in.

Our Fast level is our introductory sunbed. The lamps are extremely high-quality and have been carefully selected to help you get a great tan. Many of the Fast sunbeds are used in 20-minute sessions. Something great about this bed is that the tan time allows you to have a long, relaxing tanning session.

Our Faster level is a slightly higher intensity sunbed, and it’s about two to three times stronger than the Fast level. This higher intensity makes sessions slightly shorter than those in the Fast sunbed. Overall, the Faster sunbed is a great option for a rich, even base tan with a reasonably faster turnaround time for results.

Our Fastest level is a fabulous way to get a deep base tan in about four to seven sessions, depending upon your skin type. Another fabulous feature is that the tan time in this sunbed is shortened, so if you’re having a busy day but still want to get in and tan, this is a perfect option. The Fastest sunbed is equipped with several upscale features that include a high-pressure facial tanner, shoulder tanners and reflector lamps.

Our Instant level is our highest-intensity and highest-quality sunbed. Sessions can take up to 12 minutes, depending upon preference. Tanners who use this bed can get a dark, natural base tan within two to three sessions, which makes it the absolute fastest way to get a natural, golden brown glow.

Finally, we have our Sunless tanning booths. These amazing tanning booths can give you a glow that can last 4 to 7 days within a matter of minutes. Some of our locations include VersaSpa and / or MyMyst tanning booths. Be sure to check with your favorite Sun Tan City tanning salon for details on their Sunless booths.

Sunbed hopping will give you the results you want in a short—or extended—amount of time. Speak with your expert Tanning Consultant today, and make sure to tell them what levels you believe will fit your lifestyle, budget and tanning goals so they can assist you in the proper bed hopping plan.
