A Tale of Two Tanning Beds (and a Scary Experience Narrowly Avoided!)
Jessica is getting married soon, and she couldn’t be more excited. She’s reserved the perfect location, confirmed details with the caterer, and picked out the perfect dress. There’s only one thing left to do–get the perfect tan.
Because Jessica is so busy planning her wedding, she decides to just go tanning at the local gym, where she can work out as well. After all, the tanning is free and the round-the-clock hours seem really convenient!
The first time she goes to tan, however, she begins to worry. It’s been a while since she’s tanned before, and there’s no one to show her how to work the bed or to help her choose the right duration. The gym has a very poor selection of lotions, and their selection of beds is even poorer. Several kids are running around, and there’s not a staff member to be found.
“I guess you get what you pay for…” Jessica thinks.
Thankfully, Jessica’s friend Nicole tells her about Tropical Tan in Joplin. “Girl you need to go to a real tanning salon. Tropical Tan is Joplin’s Number 1 Tanning Salon for a reason” Nicole says. “They are incredibly professional, helpful and friendly, and every time I go there I always have a great experience! Plus, they are Smart Tan Certified, which means that all of their staff know how to help you pick just the right beds and the right products for your unique skin type and tanning preferences.”
Jessica decides her wedding is too important for her to risk tanning anywhere else. She heads straight on in to Tropical Tan to get started on her beautiful golden glow.
Moral of the story: Just because a place has a tanning bed doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get a great tan there. Come on in to Tropical Tan for a truly relaxing and professional tanning experience today!

Sunless tanning options at Joplin’s Tropical Tan will help your skin look beautiful
If you have fair skin that burns easily, traditional tanning methods might not be for you. Rather than enduring a painful burn that can be damaging to your skin’s health and appearance, explore alternative tanning methods with Tropical Tan in Joplin. We feature two sunless tanning options to get your skin looking beautiful – Versa Spa Sunless Tanning and Mystic HD Tan.
Both Versa Spa Sunless Tanning and Mystic HD Tan offer immediate color without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays. This means you get the tan you desire without the risk of burn. Unlike home tanning lotions, our sunless tanning methods won’t streak or run and won’t leave you with an orange glow.
To ensure the best sunless tan, we encourage you to shave, shower and exfoliate before your session. You should also remove any makeup and lotion. After your session, avoid getting wet and sweating for eight-to-12 hours in order to let the bronzer fully develop.
With Tropical Tan’s sessions starting at just $25, sunless tanning offers the quickest way to get a tan without breaking the bank. We want to help you figure out what works best for your skin – that’s why we offer new Tropical Tan clients a buy-one/get-one-free offer for all spray tans. Try both Versa Spa and Mystic HD tan for the price of one!
Sunless tanning is also a great way to get you ready for any summer event. Come into Tropical Tan a few days before your event to get the color you want. Sunless tanning is a quick, easy and affordable way to look your best.
Whether you have fair skin or you need to add some color quickly, Joplin’s Tropical Tan offers the best sunless tanning in town. Stop in today to tour our facility and enjoy the Tropical Tan experience.
God bless and make it a great day!

When you visit us at Tropical Tan in Joplin, you can expect a friendly, comfortable environment. From the time you walk in the door to the time you leave, our staff will gladly assist you with any questions or needs. Here are some questions you might be wondering about:
What do I need to wear to tan?
When you enter your private tanning room, undress to your comfort level. We clean our tanning beds between each use, so feel free to make yourself comfortable.
Do I need tanning lotion?
Yes, indoor tanning lotion will help increase your tan by 30–40 percent. It’s also very important to use a daily moisturizer; and you need to drink plenty of water to help your tan last longer. Consult one of our smart tan trained employees for the type of lotion you should use. Tropical Tan has a large selection of lotions, moisturizers and skin care products available for purchase. Plus, as a yearly member, you receive a 20 percent discount on select products.*
Do I need to use eye-wear?
It’s very important to wear eye protection. Your eyelids are thin layers of skin that don’t prevent UV exposure from your eyes. To protect your vision, we will ask to see your eye-wear. If you don’t have any eye-wear, we have some available for purchase. Thank you in advance for having your eye-wear out for staff to see.
How long should my first session be?
Your first session will depend on your skin type. Tropical Tan adheres to the Smart Tan Certified Skin Analysis to determine the time. To prevent sunburn, your first session may be short. As your base tan improves, session length can increase.
How often should I go?
In order to build your base tan, we suggest that you tan every two-to-three days. Start out slow, you want to build your tan, never burn. As long as you’re not pink, you can do a two-minute jump-in time.
As you can see, there’s no better time to join Joplin’s Tropical Tan than now. Our June special of 40 percent off a yearly membership is a great deal

Warmer weather in Joplin means it’s time to start tanning! [FACEBOOK CONTEST]
Join our contest at the bottom of this post!
Summer is quickly approaching and we’re getting excited about spending some time out in the sun. It’s one of our favorite things. However, sunburns associated with summer are not! Joplin’s Tropical Tan is here to help you find the best tanning options out there – from spray tanning to 9 levels of tanning beds, Tropical Tan offers the largest selection of tanning beds as well as the Radiant red-light therapy bed, 2 Aqua massage therapy beds, Versa Spa & Mystic HD UV-free spray-on tanning beds, and the Formostar Infrared Body Wrap system.
The intense heat that we often get during the summer months in Joplin is cause for concern over spending any amount of time in the sun. When temperatures approach triple digits, the fear of getting sunburned can ruin the most beautiful summer days. Here at Tropical Tan, we want to help you prepare your skin for the summer sun so that you can enjoy the outdoors … and look great while you’re at it!
How can we prepare our skin to enhance our summer experiences – whether it be mornings on the golf course, days at the lake or weekends in the garden – while avoiding the dreaded sunburn? We at Tropical Tan recommend starting with what’s known as a “base tan.”
A base tan is incredibly valuable in helping to prevent skin damage throughout the summer. When our body is exposed to UV light, the body produces Melanin, which acts as a barrier around our skin, protecting it against overexposure. Essentially, our skin naturally produces a chemical that helps fight against UV exposure, building resistance to higher amounts of exposure later in the summer. Melanin is our body’s natural sunscreen! It’s a powerful anti-oxidant that helps the skin naturally eliminate free-radicals that can cause damage. As the skin tans, the outer layer thickens, which makes the skin more resilient against sunburn.
How can you take care of your skin throughout the summer? It’s easy – start by getting a base tan at Tropical Tan today!
Also, don’t forget to participate in our current contest. The winner of the contest will receive a VIP Run of the House – a $179.95 value that includes: 30 days of unlimited tanning from any tanning bed, daily aqua massage, 4 spray tans and up to 12 radiant red-light therapy sessions. Those who wish to participate in the contest can share the contest on Facebook and then provide a name and email address in the registration form below. Plus Show $Green, Save $Green ends soon. So hurry in to to Tropical Tan to receive 25% off select packages and bottled lotions* (some restrictions may apply). Thank you again for voting us Favorite of the 4-States! Make it a great day and God bless!

Tanning Conceal Skin Blemishes
The Desire for Flawless Skin
One common denominator in the beauty standards of nearly every culture around the world is the desire for beautiful, flawless skin. Flawless skin is smooth and free of imperfections, including unevenness of skin tone and blemishes such as acne, scars, stretch marks, and Rosacea. Everyone wants clear, blemish-free skin, but achieving flawless skin can be difficult.
Indoor tanning is one of the most effective ways of concealing skin imperfections, such as unevenness and blemishes. In fact, many dermatologists recommend that their patients visit indoor tanning salons to improve the appearance of their skin. Not only do the ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays found in most tanning beds give the skin a dose of much-needed Vitamin D, but a tan can improve the overall appearance of skin as well.
A Base Tan Protects and Conceals
A professionally managed base tan gives skin a natural protection against sunburn. A sunburn can leave skin uneven, red and flaky. Not only does sunburned skin look unhealthy, but it can affect the way beauty products like moisturizer and makeup appear on the face. A base tan prevents sunburn, ensuring that skin remains free of these unsightly issues.
Sunburns aren’t the only problems that can be prevented by a good tan. The appearance of other blemishes like acne, scars and stretch marks is noticeably diminished on tan skin. The redness of acne and stretch mark scars stands out far more on pale skin than on tanned skin, where the color contrast is not as extreme.
A tan can also conceal uneven skin tone. Red patches, such as those caused by skin conditions like Rosacea, are another type of blemish that is much less noticeable on tan skin than on pale skin. Not only does a good tan look nice and fashionable, but it can act as nature’s concealer and foundation. It’s clear that the cosmetic benefits of indoor tanning are many.
