black-friday-2016

Tropical Tan would like to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your loved ones! We think of our loyal clients as family, and nothing makes us happier than thinking about how well we have gotten to know all of you over the years. To show you how much you mean to us, we’re kicking off the holiday season with a HUGE Black Friday sale!

Starting on Black Friday, stop by Tropical Tan to get up to 50% off of our already discounted products and tanning packages. As the weather gets colder and the days get darker, you might feel the need for a little pick-me-up. A regular standing appointment at Tropical Tan is a great way to remind you of summer and keep your spirits lifted. You won’t have to watch your summer tan slowly fade with each passing day. Try one of our package deals and maintain your healthy glow, even during the coldest months of the year!

We know that students, parents and working adults are under huge amounts of stress as we get closer to the end of the year; you might have time in your busy schedule to make it over to us once or twice a week. We’re offering a special deal on our spray tans for these clients: buy one spray tan single session or package deal, and get another single or full package for half the price. This way, you can be tan and glowing at your holiday parties even if you are not able to enjoy full tanning sessions.

Tropical Tan wants to make it easy for you to give the gift of tanning or aqua massage to someone you care about. For every $50 gift card you buy, we’ll give you $10 in Tropical Tan Bonus Bucks. You could even buy the gift card for your own future use AND keep the $10 bonus for yourself!

As we wrap up our most successful year yet, we want to take a moment to let you know how truly grateful we are for each and every one of you.

Happy Thanksgiving! God bless and make it a great day!

The Importance of a Good Base Tan

tropicaltanjoplin

Beautiful legs on the beach

Hello again from Tropical Tan! As you get ready to celebrate the 4th of July and the rest of your summer, we hope you’ll consider visiting us and building up your base tan. You are less likely to get a really bad sunburn if your skin already has a little bit of color in it. A base tan acts as a built-in sunblock for as long as you maintain the color, and your skin has an easier time converting sunlight into a tan when it is already accustomed to doing so.

If you haven’t had any prolonged sun exposure since last summer, now is the perfect time to visit us and start off your tan. We’ll set the tanning bed to a very low intensity, and you’ll only be treated for a few minutes. This is sufficient to jump-start the tanning process at a level that your skin will react well to. As your tan develops, we can gradually increase the settings and prolong the length of your sessions. Once your base tan emerges, long days at the beach will be a breeze. You will have a smaller chance of burning when your skin is already in the habit of getting tanner in response to sunlight. It is especially important to have a base tan if you are going away on vacation this summer. The sun’s rays are much more direct at lower latitudes; it takes far less exposure than you would expect to develop a bad burn. Protect your skin by making sure a good amount of color is already there.

If you enjoy the experience of building up your base tan at Tropical Tan, we hope you’ll consider signing up for a package deal! The more sessions you buy in advance, the bigger your discount is. This way, you can keep your tan even after summer ends. For a limited time, we’re offering a mix & match buy-one-get-one 50% off special on our tanning packages and bottles of deluxe body lotions.

Don’t forget to check out our new fashion boutique after your next tanning session! The response to this new venture has been so positive that we decided to thank you with a special contest! To win a bracelet and a luxury body lotion from our boutique, simply like, share and leave a comment on this Facebook post:

Medications Matter

tropicaltanjoplin

Tanning Joplin Missouri

Transparency and communication are incredibly important when changing anything about your body. Tanning is not a medical procedure, but you still need to inform us if you are on any new medications or have experienced any notable physical changes. We realize this is a sensitive issue, but we only encourage disclosure because we care so much about our loyal Tropical Tan clients!

Some medications can cause your skin to become more sensitive to sunlight. This is called photosensitivity. This doesn’t just apply to topical creams or ointments. Lots of oral medications can affect the way your skin reacts to light. The most obvious culprits are acne and anti-aging treatments. Anything containing retinol draws away the top protective layers of your skin, eliminating one component of your barrier against sunburn. Oral medications like Accutane do same thing to a more extreme degree. Even relatively benign treatments like antibiotics may necessitate a shift in your regular tanning routine.

When your doctor prescribes you a new medication, make sure you ask him or her if it will change your skin’s photosensitivity levels. Let us know this information before your next tanning session so we can adjust your Smart Tan bed accordingly. As an alternative, we may recommend one of our sunless spray tans until you have finished up your round of medication.

Lots of normal skincare products can affect your skin’s reaction to Tropical Tan’s Smart Tan beds. AHA and BHA creams make your skin more sensitive. Ointments that dry out blemishes can make your skin feel irritated after tanning. If you are a new Tropical Tan client, please inform us of your complete skincare routine and any medications you might be on. These are important factors in designing the right tanning program for you.

God bless and make it a great day!

Seeing Spots

Beautiful model red with curly hair

Few things are more satisfying than seeing your skin gradually take on the natural beachy glow you’ve been waiting for. Uneven patches and white spots put a major damper on this excitement. Often, these spots are not a result of human error, but rather the natural inclinations of your own body. Tropical Tan’s Smart Tan techs can take steps to avoid uneven tanning if you already know that you are predisposed to developing these pale patches.

Tinea Versicolor is an easy problem to solve. It is caused by a fungus that interrupts your skin’s ability to develop a tan. Since the fungus takes hold in the scalp before spreading to the rest of the body, it can be remedied with regular use of a strong dandruff shampoo.

Vitiligo is a condition characterized by the skin’s inability to retain melanin in specific areas. The skin around those patches will tan normally, but the pale patches simply don’t latch onto any color. This cannot be treated with tanning alone; it is a medical problem that requires treatment from a doctor.

Sometimes uneven tanning is caused by your position on the tanning bed. If your weight is supported on isolated pressure points like your shoulder blades, tailbone and the backs of your legs, your blood flow in those areas may be affected. This makes the skin over those points less likely to darken under UV lights. This is fixed by simply working out new ways of positioning your body. We can also program your bed so you are turning over more frequently, keeping the blood moving uniformly in your whole body.

At Tropical Tan, we go the extra mile to give you the ideal tanning experience.

God bless and make it a great day!

Tropical Tan is a JACC 2016 Small Business of the Year Finalist!

tropicaltanjoplin

It’s official – Tropical Tan has been selected as a finalist for the JACC Small Business of the Year award! We couldn’t have done this without you, our loyal customers. We want to thank all of you for making our tanning beds, spray tans and aqua massages a regular part of your beauty routine.

This is a great time of year to get back into your warm-weather tanning regimen. Instead of rushing to get your summer glow back in June, start now with a consistent schedule of gentle tanning sessions to help you regain your tan. Come experience the mystic or versa spa. Lots of customers supplement their tanning bed sessions with spray tans. Figuring out your ideal balance can take some time, so you should start now, when you still have a few months before the start of bikini season.

Don’t forget about our aqua massages! This treatment has exploded in popularity among young women who need a much-deserved break from school and work. If you’re already here for your tanning session, we hope you’ll consider trying out an aqua massage. You can make a whole day out of getting luxurious beauty and therapeutic treatments here at Tropical Tan.

So far in 2016, we have already won awards for Better Business Bureau 2016 Principles of Trust, Favorite of the Four States, JACC Small Business of the Year Nominee and now 2016 JACC Small Business of the Year Finalist! To thank you for making us so successful, we’re launching a bunch of awesome specials and packages.
