Tips for Protecting Your Skin on Spring Break

March 1, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

If you are like a lot of people, I bet you already are planning your spring break. Whether you go to South Padre Island or the Bahamas, taking a spring break can be a blast. During your spring break, you can swim, sunbathe on the beach and just have fun with your friends. However, your spring break can turn into a painful nightmare if you get a sunburn. A sunburn not only hurts; it can also increase your risk of getting skin cancer. Getting a base tan at Tropical Tan beforehand can help prevent a sunburn. (Special Alert: Receive 25% off select packages now till March 17th when you wear green at Tropical Tan.) Here are some tips on how you can achieve a base tan & avoid sunburn.

Use a Tanning Accelerator Lotion

If you want to get a base tan quickly, you have to use a good tanning accelerator lotion. This lotion will stimulate the melanin of the skin, giving you a deeper tan. Just apply the lotion all over your body before you go in the tanning bed. (Special Alert: From now till March 17th at Tropical Tan, find a bottle of lotion with green on it & receive 25% off!)

Build Your Tan Gradually

It is not a good idea to go in the tanning bed for 20 minutes your first time, especially if you have very fair skin. During your first two or three sessions, you should only go in the tanning bed for six or seven minutes to avoid getting a sunburn. Tropical Tan has a Free Skin Type Analysis Form to help determine your skin type & how long you should tan your first time. When you build more color, our Smart Tan Certified Staff will increase the amount of time you can tan. Keep in mind that if you burn, you will not be able to tan untill the burn is gone.

The Golden Rule of Tanning: Never Burn, Always Build Your Tan!

Apply a Moisturizer to Your Skin Each Day

Make sure to apply a good moisturizer to your skin each day, especially after you finish tanning & after you shower. Moisturizing your skin will help keep your tan beautiful longer by keeping your skin from getting dry and flaky. (Special Alert: When you spend $50 you can get 50% off a tan extending moisturizer with green on it now till March 17th at Tropical Tan.)

Indoor Tanning

Tanning Conceal Skin Blemishes

February 28, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

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.

Tanning Truths

How Skin Tans

February 14, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Dark, glowing skin has an undeniable allure. The secret to beautiful bronzed skin is within our own skin cells, waiting to beunlocked by natural or artificial sunlight.

What Exactly Is A Tan?

Tanning is your body’s method of increasing your natural protection against sun exposure. It is caused by your skin being flooded with melanin, the pigment that gives color to your skin, eyes and hair. The uppermost layer of your skin, called the epidermis, contains specialized cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes react to UVB exposure and produce pinkish melanin. UVA rays then react with melanin, turning it darker.

Getting A Beautiful Tan

A gorgeous tan relies on exposure to UVA and UVB light. Both summer sun and tanning beds contain about 95% UVA and 5% UVB wavelengths. Tanning beds, however, provide more consistent exposure and much stronger concentrations of light. This lets you tan quickly and evenly. Prepping your skin for tanning can help you achieve the color and glow you desire.

Avoiding Sunburn

A sunburn is the result of your skin being damaged by overexposure to UV light. The red color is caused by blood rushing to the surface of your skin to help repair it. Tanning beds make it easy to control the intensity of light you are exposed to and for how long you are exposed. This can help you avoid burning.

Prolonging Your Tan

It takes about a month for your body to shed and regrow new skin, taking your tan with it. However, if your skin is dry and unhealthy, it will shed more quickly. Keeping your skin hydrated is key for prolonging the life your tan. Moisturize your skin and drink plenty of water.

For an even, long-lasting tan, take a trip to your local Smart Tan certified tanning salon. Not only will tanning beds give you consistent results, the salon technicians can help you prep and hydrate your skin to maintain the tan you want.

Tanning for Teens: The Smart Way

February 8, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Whether it is for spring break or prom, more teens are getting involved with indoor and outdoor tanning. No matter the reason, it is important to teach teens the smart way to tan to decrease their risk of sunburn and skin damage. Our tanning salon is equipped and our staff is trained to assist teens in making smart tanning choices.

The Truth About Sunburn

Sunburn prevention is the first step of smart tanning for teens. When the skin is burnt, especially on a young person, it can cause serious damage later in life. According to a recent study, approximately 83 percent of teenagers who develop a tan in a salon and properly use sunscreen are less likely to get sunburn than those who do not.

Tanning is a Natural Process

While burning is harsh on the skin, the gradual tanning of the skin is a natural process that involves the production of melatonin and an increase of pigmentation. Essentially, a tan is the body’s way of protecting itself against sunburn, building up over time. Studies show teens who build up an indoor tan will be well prepared against an outdoor burn.

Tanning the Smart Way

Here are a few simple steps to keep in mind about smart tanning:

Never burn your skin. Burning the skin can cause limited to severe damage to young skin and must be prevented at all costs.
Use the right tools. Smart tanning should involve the proper equipment, including sunscreen and goggles. Being well acquainted with these products should become habitual so they are effective.
Take your time. This process is gradual. Teens should take it slow when it comes to developing an indoor tan so that the body can naturally build up a barrier against sunburn.

For more information on Smart Tanning, visit your local Smart Tan certified salon or visit the website SmartTan.com.

January 22, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Looking for an effective way to shed those pounds? You can meet your New Year’s resolution by relaxing and enjoying healthy treatments of the Formostar InfraRed Body Wrap. Used by day spas, sports centers, and health centers, the infrared body wrap is more efficient than traditional approaches to weight loss.

A 50-minute treatment allows oxygen cells to stimulate your body. There’s no exhausting workout, and you don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight and inches. Instead, the deep heat of this treatment targets cellulite, which is the culprit in decreasing circulation with toxins and body fat. The heat increases molecular activity by eliminating these toxins in your body.

What Is the Treatment?

The Formostar InfraRed Body Wrap consists of silicone treatment pads that are wrapped around four sections of your body: the legs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. As you relax by reading a book or resting, the infrared wrap safely penetrates your body with heat, stimulating blood circulation and activating your metabolism.

Benefits of the InfraRed Body Wrap

You’ll be amazed at how good you’ll feel after just one session of the InfraRed Body Wrap. It’s more effective than traditional heat treatments because it can safely burn up to 1200 calories. Whats more, each treatment will continue to burn calories in your body for up to 36 hours. Additional benefits include:

Weight loss
Toning by loss of inches
Detoxification
Skin enhancement
Improved appearance of cellulite
Relieves stress

Tanning Truths

Positive Effects of Tanning

January 18, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Many people have preconceived notions about tanning. They receive information from all over the web, television, and from their friends. Tanning is not just an activity that can be done outdoors in the Caribbean, but also can be done in Joplin, Missouri!

Research & Consideration

Before tanning, be sure to review guidelines provided by your tanning salon and any other trusted resources such as TanningTruth.com or SmartTan.com. It is important to make sure you are considering your body and the effects tanning will have on it. Everyone is different. Bodies produce different amounts of vitamins, they have different personalities and feelings, and their skin tans differently. We are all unique so tanning will be a unique experience for each individual. Despite some unsubstantiated hype about tanning, there are many positive results that tanning can provide.

Ultraviolet Light

Tanning can provide an ample source of UVA and UVB light, which enables you to have a positive experience. Just like tanning outdoors can make you feel relaxed and fantastic, so can tanning indoors. The warmth and ability to relax, especially during those winter months, can be just the stress reliever that you need. Many people feel refreshed and have a new sense of motivation after tanning, and it can even make them feel beautiful with a new look, hiding many of the blemishes that can be seen on more pale skin.

Vitamin D

UVB rays can also help the body produce vitamin D. Keep in mind that people’s bodies are different and may not need the same sun requirements for production of this vitamin. There are other ways to obtain vitamin D in your system, but tanning may be one of them.

Sunburn Prevention

Getting a good base tan can help you avoid sunburns. Have you ever gone on vacation and on that first day you wanted to spend so much time in the glorious sunshine that made you feel sexy and wonderful that you turned into something that resembled a lobster? Well tanning regularly can help you avoid that! Having a good base tan and only tanning for short periods at a time can help protect your skin for that first time exposure on your luxurious vacation.

Tan Smart in Joplin

The positive effects of tanning indoors are both physical and mental. To learn more about positive effects of tanning, visit WeAreSunshine.com or contact a Tropical Tan team member. We are the only Smart Tan certified tanning salon in Joplin. As a Smart Tan Member, we adhere to the highest industry standards to ensure the best indoor tanning experience possible. Our team is fully trained in UV light administration, properly teaches sunburn prevention indoor and out, insists our clients wear FDA approved protective eyewear and hold tight to the highest sanitation standards.
