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.

Again, if you have any additional questions, please be sure to ask away! If you don’t feel comfortable asking a Tanning Consultant you always have me! Just send me a message on one of our social media pages, and I’ll help you out as fast as I can!

New FAQ: The Difference Between Indoor & Outdoor Tanning

by Victoria - 26. April, 2012 08:00

Each month we’ll bring you new Frequently Asked Questions that our Sun Tan City Tanning Experts receive from clients just like you. If you have a specific question you’d like to have us answer, please feel free respond to any of our blog posts or write your question to us on Facebook. That way, we can share the questions and our knowledge with others tanning connoisseurs just like you!

 

What is the difference between indoor & outdoor tanning?

Control. Indoor tanning allows you total control over the amount of UV and the type of UV your skin is exposed to. When you tan outdoors, you can’t control any of it. Time of day, geographic location, season, and weather, are all variable elements which means your outdoor tan is unpredictable. At Sun Tan City we promote “Smart Tanning” and the golden rule is to get a great tan every time-and to never, ever burn. Outdoors, skin is exposed to a blend of ultraviolet light (UV) that causes an effect within your cells that is defined as sun tanning. The results of this natural process can run the gamete. You could get a great golden glow one day and the next be peeling and red. It’s not fun to put your skin through that process.

With indoor sun tanning at Sun Tan City tanning salons, both the amount of UV and the type of UV your skin is exposed to can be strictly controlled. Controlled and responsible exposure, preventative and nourishing skin care products, state-of-the art tanning equipment, and expert staff education makes indoor sun tanning at Sun Tan City the most control over your body’s natural tanning process you can get.

For additional research-supported information on the risks and benefits of indoor tanning, please visit our tanning resources page.

We’ll be bringing you new Q & A’s monthly, but in the meantime, feel free to send us a note on Facebook or talk to your local consultant directly. We’re always available to help a client in need!
