There is an art to getting the perfect tan. Here at Tropical Tan, we pride ourselves on being Smart Tan certified. This means that every staffer has been trained to program your tanning bed with settings that are calibrated with your current skin tone and desired color in mind. We know that you love coming to us for tanning sessions because of how relaxing and pampering they are. We do all of the hard work for you! However, there are a few things you should keep in mind if you want to really optimize your tanning experience.

It might seem logical to apply a generous amount of your favorite outdoor suntan lotion before coming in for your Tropical Tan session, but this is actually counterproductive. Conventional tanning lotions are formulated to amplify the tanning properties of sunlight. They are not as effective when used in tanning beds. They can even damage tanning beds if you aren’t careful.

Before hopping into your tanning bed, speak with one of our employees about our stock of high-end indoor tanning creams and lotions. Our staff is well-educated when it comes to skincare, and we can recommend the right product for your skin type and tanning goals. We can also suggest products for prolonging your new color and keeping your skin moisturized an conditioned after tanning. When you use the right products in conjunction with a perfectly programmed Smart Tanning bed, you will achieve your desired color more quickly, and your tan will distribute more evenly. Going the extra mile to prep your skin makes a huge difference in the long run. Your skin will resist the aging associated with careless outdoor tanning, and you will achieve the exact level of color that you want. Call or visit us to learn more about these products.

God bless and make it a great day!

When you visit us at Tropical Tan in Joplin, you can expect a friendly, comfortable environment. From the time you walk in the door to the time you leave, our staff will gladly assist you with any questions or needs. Here are some questions you might be wondering about:

What do I need to wear to tan?

When you enter your private tanning room, undress to your comfort level. We clean our tanning beds between each use, so feel free to make yourself comfortable.

Do I need  tanning lotion?

Yes, indoor tanning lotion will help increase your tan by 30–40 percent. It’s also very important to use a daily moisturizer; and you need to drink plenty of water to help your tan last longer. Consult one of our smart tan trained employees for the type of lotion you should use. Tropical Tan has a large selection of lotions, moisturizers and skin care products available for purchase. Plus, as a yearly member, you receive a 20 percent discount on select products.*

Do I need to use eye-wear?

It’s very important to wear eye protection. Your eyelids are thin layers of skin that don’t prevent UV exposure from your eyes. To protect your vision, we will ask to see your eye-wear. If you don’t have any eye-wear, we have some available for purchase. Thank you in advance for having your eye-wear out for staff to see.

How long should my first session be?

Your first session will depend on your skin type. Tropical Tan adheres to the Smart Tan Certified Skin Analysis to determine the time. To prevent sunburn, your first session may be short. As your base tan improves, session length can increase.

How often should I go?

In order to build your base tan, we suggest that you tan every two-to-three days. Start out slow, you want to build your tan, never burn. As long as you’re not pink, you can do a two-minute jump-in time.

As you can see, there’s no better time to join Joplin’s Tropical Tan than now. Our June special of 40 percent off a yearly membership is a great deal

Keep your body hydrated when you tan at Joplin’s Tropical Tan

At Tropical Tan in Joplin, we often talk about how to get the best tan. We discuss how often to tan, which tanning bed to select or even the length of a session. However, an important and oftentimes overlooked aspect of tanning is hydration.

As our skin tans, the outer layer naturally dries out. Because your skin often replenishes dry, dead skin, the outer layer peels or flakes to make room for a new layer of skin. When this happens, your tan peels or flakes with it. The new layer hasn’t had the same exposure to the sun and creates white spots and uneven skin. You can prevent this by taking a few steps to hydrate your beautiful, tanned skin.

First, it’s important to stay hydrated. At Tropical Tan, we recommend you drink eight full cups of water (eight ounces) every day. If you work up a sweat, you may need to drink more than that. Staying hydrated allows our bodies to naturally exfoliate toxins and impurities, which promotes healthier looking skin and a darker, longer-lasting tan.

The next step in keeping the skin hydrated is to use a moisturizer after tanning sessions. Because our skin naturally dries during the tanning process, it’s vitally important to hydrate afterwards. Using a moisturizer will ensure your tanned skin remains in good condition by replenishing the fluids lost through the tanning process. Next time you come in to Tropical Tan, make sure to ask about the products we offer to help keep your body beautiful.

The final step to keep your skin hydrated is to pick the right tanning lotion for your skin. To get the desired results, it’s important to use a lotion that enhances your tan and hydrates your skin. To ensure you select the correct lotion for your skin type, speak with our smart tan trained staff. Here at Tropical Tan, we’ll gladly recommend a lotion that will maximize your results while keeping your skin looking healthy. This month receive 25% off select packages & bottled lotion.  We look forward to seeing you at Tropical Tan soon!

God bless and make it a great day!
