The Golden Rule of Tanning

tropicaltanjoplin

With all of the new skincare studies and products in the news these days, it can be hard to figure out which claims you should be taking seriously. One thing is abundantly clear: taking good care of your skin is of the utmost importance. The interesting thing about skincare is that you get to decide which facets of it are the most important to you. Lots of women focus on reducing or preventing visible signs of aging, and others work to pack as much moisture as possible into their skin.

By this same token, it is up to you how you balance tanning with the rest of your skincare routine. When done right, Smart Tanning can be part of a well-rounded plan for making your skin look and feel its very best. You are probably already a bit familiar with the concept of a “base tan.” A base tan is a protective layer of color that shields your skin from potential sunburn.

If you know that your skin tans easily, getting your base tan in a salon like Tropical Tan may reduce your risk of sunburn by up to 81%. Tanning’s benefits for your skin don’t stop with the visible glow it imparts. The process of tanning triggers your skin cells to repair damage; getting a tan is an actively positive thing to do for your skin. We recommend building up your base tan slowly so you can gauge how quickly your skin browns and if you respond well to the settings you choose. The settings on our Smart Tan beds can be fully customized, so there is a lot of wiggle room to figure out the exact personalized tanning program that works for you. We hope to see you soon!

God bless and make it a great day!

Tropical Tan Winner's Proof

Hi Tropical Tanners! We are so happy and excited to announce that we’ve won FAVORITE of the Four States for Best Tanning Salon! We’ve won every year, and we’re so honored to know that you enjoy our service as much as we enjoy working with you! Thank you for making us #1. We work hard to ensure that you receive the highest quality in customer service, cleanliness, & the most technologically advanced equipment.

Every single one of Tropical Tan’s employees is Smart Tan Certified. We are so serious about providing top-notch service that this certification is a non-negotiable requirement for working here. This certification is necessary because our tanning beds must be adjusted for each session to accommodate the clients’ current skin tone and desired tan level. Our staffers don’t just turn on a timer and push the “on” button. They program a fully customized tanning program every time.

All of this means you can rest assured that you’re receiving the highest quality of sanitation, customer service and the best kept equipment in town! Gyms with tanning do not offer this degree of one-on-one personalization, so you risk developing a painful sunburn instead of a beautiful tan glow. We are also able to give you the best product recommendations for maintaining your color and keeping your skin in good condition. Bad sunburns can lead to permanent damage and we are 100% committed to making sure that never happens to you at Tropical Tan.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards that far exceed the basic requirements for our industry, something that gyms do not do. We care about your skin, educating you on Smart Tanning, and helping you design the right package to meet your tanning needs and your budget. Its so important to build a base tan and to never burn. 

We properly sanitize our tanning beds after every session, something that gyms shockingly do not do. We care about our clients, and your trust is important to us. We would never take advantage of your trust by being lazy about our commitment to quality and service.

A session at Tropical Tan is about more than boosting your skin tone. We take pleasure in giving you the royal treatment so you can unplug from your everyday life and enjoy a few moments of pampering and relaxation. Our clients know that they can depend on us to deliver that experience, which is why they have named us the FAVORITE of the Four States! Keep up to date on all of our latest specials, promotions and contests by liking us on Facebook and registering for our text club.

God bless and make it a great day!

Build Your Base Tan Before Summer

tropicaltanjoplin

beautiful beach girl

A base tan is almost like a form of natural sunscreen. The idea behind a base tan is that it is more difficult to get a sunburn if there is already some tan coloring present. Tanning in stages allows the skin to heal fully in between sessions. Instead of getting too much sun at once and risking a burn, it is better to tan gradually so the color can build.

When the skin is exposed to sunlight or sun lamps, it produces melanin, the substance that gives skin its color. It forms a protective layer around skin cells, preventing them from being damaged by harmful ultraviolet rays. Tanning is a positive cycle that creates more melanin each time, making the skin more resistant to burning the tanner it gets. Tanning also releases keratin, which makes the skin thicker and less susceptible to physical and elemental damage.

The best way to build a base tan is in a salon over the course of several sessions. Trained spa technicians are able to customize the tanning experience so that each client is getting the exact amount of color that her skin can handle. In a tanning bed, it is possible to control light exposure and intensity in ways that cannot be managed outdoors in natural light. Some people like to start in five- or 10-minute sessions so they can see how their skin reacts to UV exposure. As their skin gets darker and their resistance to burning increases, they extend the lengths of their sessions little by little. For every five minutes that someone is able to spend tanning without burning, the skin’s SPF goes up by a factor of one. Therefore, someone who tans in 10-minute sessions essentially has SPF 2 built into her skin.

A major benefit of having a strong base tan is that it increases the effectiveness of sunscreen. When someone applies sunblock with a high SPF over base tan, the SPF is multipied by the natural SPF that the skin accumulated in earlier salon sessions. This method of combining sunblock with a base tan is a great way to keep skin healthy and protected during the summer months.

God bless and make it a great day!
