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!

New FAQ from Sun Tan City – Is Protective Eyewear Recommended?

by Victoria - 21. February, 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 publicly, 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!

Is protective eyewear recommended during tanning sessions?
It’s not recommended – it’s demanded! You must wear goggles that protect against 99% of UVA rays and 99.9% of UVB rays…and it’s a super smart idea. This specially formulated lens protects your sensitive eye tissue from exposure. Too much exposure could lead to permanent damage to your vision. Serious consequences include cornea burns or degeneration, loss of color vision, loss of vision at night, or even cataracts.

So, whether you purchase a pair for multiple use, or just use the temps we provide on-site, goggles should always be in your tanning repertoire.

Until next time, feel free to send us a note on Facebook or talk to your local tanning consultant directly. We’re always available to help a client in need!

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!!

Top New FAQs from Sun Tan City – Is the Use of SPF Lotion Recommended?

by Victoria - 31. January, 2012 08:00

As we mentioned earlier this month, we will be bringing you new frequently asked tanning questions each month.

So without further a due, the second question for January – Is the use SPF lotion recommended?

Not necessarily. SPF tanning lotions are engineered to protect you from prolonged exposure to UV rays. At Sun Tan City, your exposure in our state-of-the-art tanning beds is controlled and minimal. Instead of SPF lotions, we recommend the use of our indoor tanning-specific lotions that promote skin moisture and help to prolong the life of your tan.

Remember, each month we’re looking to answer questions from our tanning clients just like you. If you have a specific question you’d like to have us answer publicly, 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! And as always, feel free to talk to your local tanning consultant directly. We’re always available to help any of our clients in need!

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!

Tanning Tips

by Victoria - 28. April, 2011 09:42

On the Sun Tan City Facebook page, there is a lot of conversation about tanning tips. Here are some of the tips our clients have given.

• If your legs aren’t as dark as the rest of your body, apply tingles only to your legs. This will give you a boost.
• If you want to get your feet darker, lay upside down in the bed so your feet are under the facial tanners.
• Need a boost in color? Switch up your tanning bed. Stand-up beds are great for this.
• Do you have raccoon eyes from your goggles? Try Wink-ease. They are UV blocking stickers you apply to your eyes, and you make them the size you want.
• Have little white moons on your backside? Try sitting on the edge of the bed the last couple of minutes of your tanning session. Or, while in the stand-up bed, lean forward the last couple of minutes.

The tips may be a bit random, but you’ll get results. What other tips do you have?

Personal Tanning Plan

by Victoria - 31. March, 2011 14:59

Earlier this month, we talked about the tanning requirements our Tanning Consultants have to pass in order to be an accredited Tanning Consultant. One of these tests is Proper Skin Typing and the importance of learning this is so we can help you develop a personal tanning plan.

Your skin type determines how quickly you tan, what color your tan is, and how long you keep your tan. Our Tanning Consultants use your skin type to determine which bed would be best to achieve the tan goal you want. And it also helps us to determine how long you should stay in a bed so you don’t get overexposure.

Not all of us are lucky enough to get a gorgeous, dark tan in a couple of visits. So if you ever have questions about what bed you should use to get what you want, just ask our Tanning Consultants and they will be able to help you make the best choice.
