Customized Tanning Programs

July 11, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

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.

The Benefits of Using Kiwi Be Friends Bronzer

If you love natural instant bronzers that smell great and moisturize, too, you’ll love the new Kiwi Be Friends Bronzer. This new product by Swedish Beauty is an instant bronzer that is packed with moisturizing ingredients and provides long-lasting color.

Ingredients

Unlike some instant bronzers that are full of harsh chemicals, Kiwi Be Friends is created with all natural ingredients that moisturize and ensure long-lasting color. Here are some of the ingredients used in this product.

Cocoa – Cocoa is very hydrating and aids in color retention, as well.
Orange – Oranges deliver powerful antioxidants that are great for your skin.
Angelica Root – Angelica is known for its calming and soothing effects.
Banana Extract – Bananas have long been known to be wonder fruits of sorts for their moisturizing effect.

Other ingredients are used for fragrance, such as exotic kiwi, coconut milk, pineapple, casaba melon, mangosteen, and berries, all of which provide antioxidants and moisture to the skin and many of which help to prevent color fade.

This product provides intense moisture thanks to natural ingredients like safflower, sunflower oil, and Shea butter, which are very hydrating and also work to ensure long-lasting color.

Benefits

Kiwi Be Friends contains a wide range of benefits in addition to the moisturizing properties outlined above. One benefit of this product is that it has natural melanin enhancers, which ensure a dark color is obtained. In addition, your color will last for a long time, as many of the natural ingredients aid in color retention. In comparison to other DHA bronzers, Kiwi Be Friends is low in cost, which provides a monetary benefit, as well.

Kiwi Be Friends Bronzer is available at many tanning salons and is part of Swedish Beauty’s Botanica Collection.

Tan Smart This Summer

June 20, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Tanning is a natural way to darken the skin, and many people feel more confident when they are less pale. While some tanners wait for the sunny summer months to acquire the tan that makes them feel the most secure, anyone can maintain the bronzed look year-round by utilizing tanning salon services.

What is Tanning?

Whether tanning indoors or outdoors, the melanocytes within the epidermis produce melanin that is absorbed by other skin cells. The melanin gets even darker when exposed to UVA light.

Skin cells are constantly rejuvenating themselves, and newer cells push up on the tanned ones after about a month of decreased exposure to both UVA and UVB light. Therefore, outdoor tanners quickly lose their summer glow as winter approaches.

Protection is Key

Ultraviolet protection is crucial whether the tan is being acquired indoors or outdoors. A sunblock should be used any time there is to be UV exposure. Depending on how deep the base tan is, the SPF necessary can vary for individuals. Indoor tanning facilities give clients access to seasoned professionals who can consult them toward the lotion that will be most effective for them.

UV Control

Strong UV rays can severely damage skin. Unfortunately for outdoor tanners, they have absolutely no control over the levels they are being exposed to. This can lead to serious sunburns. Indoor tanning facilities give the tanner the ability to adjust the UV levels, and a consultant is on staff to make sure those levels are appropriate.

Indoor Tanning Safety

Although the UV levels are controlled, there are still a few safety precautions that should be followed by the indoor tanner. The facility provides goggles, and it is important to wear them. Furthermore, the lips do not tan, so a lip balm containing SPF provides added protection.

A beautiful, year-round tan is possible. To find out how you can start, visit your local Smart Tan certified tanning salon for more information or to visit smarttan.com.

Tan Smart

Build a Base Tan Before Summer Vacation

May 29, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

If you’re excited at the prospect of fun in the sun this summer, it may be a good idea to head to the tanning salon and start getting a base tan now. Not only will you enjoy a beautiful glow early in the season, your skin will be prepared to face longer periods of exposure while you enjoy the beach or pool.

So What if I Get a Little Red?

Sunburn may feel like a minor irritant, but you take serious risks by exposing your skin to ultraviolet (UV) rays and literally burning the upper layer of your skin. Your skin can age prematurely, giving you wrinkles at a young age, or you may experience second-degree burns in extreme situations. Burns can exacerbate conditions such as eczema, rosacea and psoriasis and cause photosensitivity, which makes your skin prone to future burns. A base tan creates a strong, natural defense against burns. While you’ll still need to smooth sunscreen on your skin while you are outside, your risk of burning is drastically reduced.

Why Choose a Tanning Salon Over Sunbathing?

Tanning salons offer a controlled tanning experience that cannot be replicated by sunbathing. Overexposure to UV rays can cause harmful burning, especially while your skin is pale as you build a base tan. While sunburn risks are greatly reduced when you use a tanning bed, it is important to speak to a trained consultant to see the best results. Be sure always to use eye protection in a tanning bed.

Are All Tanning Salons The Same?

While they may look similar on the outside, all tanning salons are not equal on the inside. You should always seek a salon that has a Smart Tan Certification. The certification process includes staff education on everything from cleaning and sanitation of tanning equipment to skin care and tanning while pregnant. Smart Tan certified consultants can create a custom tanning regimen for you based upon your skin tone, medications, desired end tone and other factors to reduce safety risks during your tanning experience.

Is There a Smart Tan Salon in Joplin?

Tropical Tan is 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.

Spray Tanning

The Advantages of Getting a Spray Tan

May 16, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

One of the easiest ways to achieve a perfect tan without investing a whole lot of time is to get a spray tan. You can look like you have been drenched in sunshine, even when the weather or your schedule isn’t very accommodating.

Many Advantages

Spray tanning has many specific advantages. The very fine tanning solution that is used in the spraying process enters the surface of the skin as a delicate mist. This allows for an extremely smooth appearance that does not have any noticeable streaks. In addition, the person who is receiving the spray tan can get an all-inclusive tan or any portion, according to their personal choice. The bonus factor is that sunburn is not even on the radar because it is impossible to burn the skin with a spray tan.

Year-Round Tan

A spray tanning application is a fabulous way to tan at any time of the year and in any climate. The time of day does not matter, either. Many clients get their spray tans in the evenings or other times of the day or night when the sun is hiding. Clients may also choose the exact shades of their tans. Many start with a light shade of brown, and if they want, they can gradually increase the tones to the desired and perfect result.

Toss the Self-Tanners

The sun-kissed results that naturally occur in the spray tanning process are so much better than applying creams and lotions because the application is evenly distributed and controlled. Also, the professional application process is nice and neat; tanners do not need to worry about messiness. When the tanning solution is completely dry, it will not smear or damage clothing.

Spray Tan in Joplin

Those who want to explore these and other benefits of spray tanning should plan to visit a trusted tanning salon for more information about spray tans.

Tropical Tan in Joplin, Missouri offers two spray tan experiences: Versa Spa and Mystic Tan HD. Both the Versa Spa and Mystic Tan HD are booths that deliver immediate color that last up to 7 days. We recommend that you shave, shower, and exfoliate before spray tanning. Be sure to remove all makeup and lotion. You should allow 8-12 hours before showering or sweating for the bronzer to fully develop.

Feel free to call us with any questions you have about spray tanning or to schedule an appointment. (417) 782-3900 Also, walk-ins are always welcome, so come on in to our location at 7th & Illinois for your flawless spray tan.
