Come See Our New VersaSpa Pro

As a midwinter gift to our loyal customers, we’ve recently introduced the VersaSpa Pro to our lineup of cutting-edge tanning equipment. Since Tropical Tan’s opening three decades ago, we’ve amassed a collection of 30 tanning beds, as well as top-of-the-line spray tanning booths. The VersaSpa Pro represents the latest spray-tan technology, offering four levels of color instead of the usual three. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned self-tanner, our staff is always happy to answer any questions you have about which level could be the right fit for your skin type.

The results of a spray tan typically last about four to five days, but the experts at VersaSpa Pro have designed a range of products to help the results last even longer—at least a full week, in some cases. In addition to their line of moisturizing lotions, they also offer the following tips on how to keep your spray tan from fading early:

  • Shave and exfoliate thoroughly before entering the spray tan booth
  • Wait at least four hours before showering or swimming
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
  • Always moisturize well after showering, bathing, or swimming

Also, don’t forget that Tropical Tan is continuing to run its Valentine’s Day “sweetheart specials” throughout the remainder of February. Why should you stop trying to look your best just because Valentine’s Day is over? Our Smart Tan certified staff is here to help you maintain that golden glow—and the resultant spring in your step—every day of the year.

God bless and make it a great day!

Tan Smart this Winter

During the long winter months, when reduced exposure to natural sunlight might be causing you to feel lethargic and depressed, maintaining a good base tan can serve as an excellent reminder that the warmer weather isn’t all that far away. Here at Tropical Tan, our Smart Tan certified staff is ready and willing to help you manage this important aspect of your skincare regimen. 

Smart Tan certification is just one of the many features that gives our skilled and caring staff the edge up on the competition. We understand the difference between a proper tan and a sunburn, and are able to fine-tune the tanning experience based on the customer’s skin type. If you have a fairer skin tone (what’s known in the industry as a type 2), the customized settings on our Smart Tan beds allow you to acclimate gradually to the equipment, thereby reducing the risk of burns. 

We take sunburn prevention seriously for many reasons. First and foremost, we believe in helping our customers maintain positive skin habits—both in and out of the salon. When people neglect to educate themselves on smart tanning procedure and burn themselves as a result, it reflects poorly on the tanning industry as a whole. This is unfortunate, especially when you consider the fact that we’re actually committed to promoting good skincare habits. 

In fact, proper tanning actually boosts the skin’s ability to repair damaged cells. Even fair-skinned type 2s can benefit from maintaining a base tan, as long as they follow the proper procedure and give themselves time to adjust. A real tan isn’t something that can be achieved overnight, or even in the first few sessions. At Tropical Tan, our Smart Tan certified staff is here to make sure you end up with the results you crave, without rushing the process. 

In addition, we’re happy to advise you on your skincare routine as a whole, including the topic of sunscreen use. While it can be tempting to assume that your base tan allows you to frolic in the sun without fear of getting burned, this type of thinking can ruin the results you’ve worked so hard to achieve. It’s also important to use proper sun care when outside the controlled environment of our Smart Tan beds. This will ensure that you maintain the sort of base tan that works to protect your skin from further damage. 

If you have any further questions or concerns about your tanning and skincare needs, feel free to stop by and share them with us! That’s what we’re here for, and we would be honored to help you achieve that sought-after golden glow in time for spring. 

God bless and make it a great day!

Some Evidence Suggests That Vitamin D May Help Prevent Cancer

Hello beauties! We hope you’re doing well in school and enjoying the fresh fall weather. Halloween is just around the corner, and before you know it, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving! In the fall and the winter most people are less likely to get enough vitamin D. This is because we spend less time outside in the sunlight.

I bet you didn’t know that high levels of vitamin D are linked to lower rates of cancer. We get most of our vitamin D from food and sunlight. Did you know that you can also get vitamin D from tanning beds? Now you have even more reasons to keep up your regular tanning routine at Tropical Tan! Scientists aren’t quite sure yet how vitamin D fights cancer, but they think it has something to do with its affect on cellular life cycles. Vitamin D has been shown to slow down the growth of cells that could become cancerous, and it may also encourage cells to differentiate and develop in ways that are not conducive to cancerous growths. The benefits of vitamin D are magnified in people who have healthy lifestyle habits, like eating well and exercising regularly.

This is on our minds because we are currently working with Hope4You to raise money to help fight breast cancer. If you donate $2 to the cause, we’ll give you a 10% discount. For $3 you’ll get 15% off, $4 gets you 20% off, and you can get a 25% discount for just $5. We’re happy to offer a huge 30% discount to everyone who donates $10. Every little bit helps, and we expect our Give Breast Cancer the Boot campaign to be our most successful charity drive yet.

Ae’re putting the word out that we have new hours of operation. You can come donate to cancer research and enjoy your own cancer-fighting tanning session during the following times:

  • Monday – Friday: 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 P.M.
  • Saturday: 9:00 A.M. – 7:00 P.M.
  • Sunday: 11:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M.

Don’t let your tan fade just because the weather’s getting cooler! Tropical Tan helps you stay golden and glowy all year round.

And don’t forget about our boutique clothing collection. We have some adorable fall items.

God bless and make it a great day!
