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!

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

Tanning Lotions

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!
