Tan Smart This April

tropicaltanjoplin

Now that spring is in the air, it’s the ideal time to start building your base tan for your next special event. While we understand that you must be eager to achieve that golden glow, it takes time to build a proper tan. That’s where we come in. The qualified staff here at Tropical Tan is ready and eager to assist you in designing the perfect package for your tanning needs.

A slow start is the best way to ensure a beautiful tan. Don’t make the classic mistake of overdoing it on the first few sessions–the last thing you want is a painful burn that might peel and ruin the effect. A proper base tan is the best way to avoid this, as it can reduce the risk of sunburn by more than 80 percent. Our Smart Tan Certified staff will be happy to help you customize the settings on our state-of-the-art equipment, to achieve the result that’s best suited to your unique skin tone. We’re not just here to provide the services and equipment that you need–we care about your skin care, and are dedicated to sharing the benefit of our expertise. Our mission is to never burn, but to educate the public on smart tanning.

Don’t forget our special prom season discounts! For a limited time only, students will receive a $10 discount on our spray tans, as well as a 30 percent discount on selected packages. Also in April: Buy one, get one 1/2 off mix or match on packages and bottled lotions valued at $40 or more. Note that some restrictions apply; visit the corresponding pages on our website for more details. While you’re at it, be sure to book your next appointment! We’ll look forward to seeing you soon.

God bless and make it a great day!

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 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.

Customized Tanning Programs

Customized Tanning Programs

Tanning can have a lot of benefits, but it can also be very risky if you aren’t careful. Everyone tans differently; some will end up with a beautiful golden tan after a few hours in the sun, while others will end up with painful sunburn. It’s important to know about your own skin and how the sun will affect it, and a customized smart tanning program can help you with that.

What is Smart Tanning?

Smart tanning is essentially indoor tanning, a practice that is considered better than tanning outdoors. It minimizes the risk of sunburn and other adverse effects that come from exposure to UV rays by tanning in a controlled environment. Tanners are also taught by trained personnel how their particular skin reacts to the sunlight and how they can best protect themselves when they are tanning.

Why a Customized Tanning Program is Important

Many people believe that all they need to do to get a tan is sit out in the sun while wearing enough sunscreen. However, tanning is a little more complicated than that. People need to know their skin type and how it is affected by the sun, they need to know the effects of too much UV radiation, and they need to know how much tanning is too much.

A great resource for tanners and tanning salon personnel is the Smart Tan Skin Type System. This will allow tanners to better identify their skin type and determine how much tanning is right for them or even if they should be tanning. For example, Skin Type I clients are unable to UV tan without burning, so those who are identified as such by the Smart Tan Skin Type System need to seek alternatives to tanning and know how to minimize sunburn risk.

Tanning can be more complicated that people realize, but a customized tanning program can help. Visit a smart tan certified tanning salon to begin a customized tanning program today.
