Spray On Tanning Booths: Just Moments to a Great Tan

November 21, 2011

With busy lives and the growing concern that ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by standard tanning beds may be dangerous, spray on tanning booths are gaining in popularity.

When using a spray on tanning booth, you stand in the booth and an even mist of a tanning agent is sprayed over your body. In a manner of minutes, you have a good base tan, and with a couple of repeat visits, you have a tan to be proud of, unlike using tanning beds, which may require a dozen or more visits to get the same great color.

Additional products are also available which will help extend your three to five day spray on tan to a couple of weeks without a revisit to the tanning booth, and anything that can help keep you on schedule while still retaining the golden glow of a great tan is worth the investment.

Since these booths do not require you to spend time flat on your back or expose you to possible skin damaging and dehydrating UV rays, they are perfect for people who suffer from chronic back pain or who may be pregnant. Tanning booths are also perfect for people who need a tan for a special event but do not want to do the upkeep to maintain a year round tan. For example, teenagers preparing for the prom, especially those who live in colder climates, may find it beneficial to go in for one or two spray on tanning booth sessions before the big event. Couples preparing for a winter trip to the tropics may want to splurge on a base tan before leaving snow laden streets and pasty white thighs to lay out on sunny beaches in skimpy swimwear.

To locate spray on tanning booths, contact your local tanning salon. with the growing popularity of these types of tanning devices, chances are good you will find a booth to meet your needs right in your own neighborhood.

Advantage of Commercial Tanning Beds

November 7, 2011

The main purpose of commercial tanning beds is to allow us the ability to tan our skins without reference to the sun. For a tan we no longer have to depend on day light or the vagaries of the fickle weather. thanks to commercial tanning bed we can now take full control of the tone of our skin.

Tan of our skin makes a statement about us. Message conveyed by the tan differs from one social milieu to another; sometime a tan indicates a sporty or outdoor person, at others leisured wealthy person. above all it is considered sexy and attractive. Given all that subtext, it is important we do not have to depend on fickle weather to get the required amount of tan on to our skins on any given day, any more that we should be prevented from wearing a dress or suit that we want by the sun. That is the kind of control over our bodies we get by using commercial tanning beds.

Another advantage of commercial tanning beds, besides the control over one crucial aspect of our body, is their great convenience. No longer do we have to wait for a holiday to get our tan. No longer do we have to waste important and valuable daylight hours sunning ourselves. instead with the commercial tanning beds we can tan ourselves at our convenience allowing us to make the best of our limited time.

Commercial tanning beds are also much safer in some respects than the sun. we longer have to fear of inadvertently burning ourselves if we say fall asleep during a tanning session, unlike with the sun. No is sunlight what it used to be, what with the holes in ozone layer and too much ultra violet rays. Commercial tanning beds on the other hand offer a controlled environment custom made for our requirements, where the light we get is the light we want.

All these, control over our skin, convenience, and safety, are few of the reasons that explain why commercial tanning beds are getting ever popular.

Indoor Tanning Tips

September 28, 2011

Indoor tanning is a quick way to acquire a bronzed look regardless of the season. In recent years, it has become a hot business for a good reason. Commercial tanning beds found in indoor tanning salons make a person look tanned without having to spend hours in the sun. To make your tanning experience a pleasant one, here are some things to remember.

Use the right tanning lotions. the creams and lotions sold in tanning salons have chemicals that speed up the tanning process. the correct products make your money go farther because they shorten the time it takes for your skin to tan.

Designer indoor tanning lotions may be more appealing but generally cost more. These range from $35 to $60. Of course, you can probably get a better deal with special offers but to save money get them outside. you can purchase them at almost 50 percent less. Select a seller with good feedback that is connected to the tanning industry.

Clean your body before getting a tan. it should be free of dead skin. use a mild soap or body wash and a good exfoliant if necessary. Scrub the skin on the arms, legs and the rest of the body in circular motions. This will help remove dead skin and increases the effectiveness of tanning.

Use a light, unscented moisturizer after showering to maintain the moisture level of the skin. This also keeps skin pores clear. Perfumes and cosmetics are a no-no in a tanning bed. These make the skin more sensitive to light and can lead to uneven tanning or rashes.

Wondering what to wear in an indoor tanning bed? That shouldn’t be a problem since most tanning salons have private rooms. Wear a bathing suit if you like or get a tan in your own underwear. others prefer to be completely naked for a natural and even tan.

Tanning Lotion

August 15, 2011

Tanning gives the skin a golden-brown color and is quite becoming. Tanning is generally done under the rays of the sun. But, the sun has been lately found to be causing great damages to the skin and health. it is said to cause life-threatening diseases like skin cancer. In order to bypass this problem and to get a solution to sporting the tanned look, some innovative people came out with tanning lotion.

Tanning lotion is a cosmetic agent that is spread on to the skin to give it a tanned look. The product is mostly referred to as self tanning products. many of the latest products have natural ingredients that are completely safe on the skin. The effect of such tans lasts for a week or two. They fade out eventually and the skin returns to the original color.

But, as exposure to the sunless tanning is completely safe on the skin, once the tan starts to fade, the lotion can be reapplied.

The Advantages of Tanning Lotion over Sun Tanning

Tanning products that are lotion-based have many advantages over sun tanning. Tanning lotion is available in many shades. a person can choose the shade he or she wants from among them. This is one privilege that the sun does not provide. The tan that a person gets from the sun can last for several weeks. But, sunless tanning is temporary.

There are some tanning products that wash off with the first bath itself. So, if a person does not like the look, there are no worries. The tan wears off quickly. Another advantage is that sunless tanning means no tan lines. This is something that is quite unavoidable (most of the time) when it is suntan. The final advantage is that sunless tanning is in all ways safer than sun tanning. This advantage supersedes all others.

As it uses an ingredient that only reacts with the dead cells that exist on the upper most layer of the skin, it does not seep into the inner skin.

There is minimum percentage of allergic reactions and absolutely no damage caused due to this. The sun on the other hand causes premature aging, skin pigmentation, skin cancer, and other skin diseases.

These advantages of tanning lotion over tanning under the sun are the reasons they are so much in demand nowadays. Other than that, their ease in use and their relatively low cost also make them popular. due to their high demand, these products are not only available in drug stores, but also in cosmetic stores and online stores. Specialized stores that sell only self tanning items are coming up on the internet. They have great deals and combo offers for the customers and free delivery as well.

There are also many websites that give details regarding the ingredients used in these products and their effects on the skin – good or bad. This means that people can read up before making a purchase.

A bronzed skin is every person’s dream nowadays. a tanning lotion makes this dream a reality with great ease, safety, and low cost – a unique combination

IT’S OUT OF THE QUESTION: The multiple-listing edition

August 14, 2011

It’s the multiple-choice section to this week’s Sports Aptitude Test:

== by endorsing the “memorandum of understanding” for AEG’s plan to build a citizen-friendly 72,000-seat NFL-ready stadium next to the Convention Center, the L.a. City Council’s special committee is saying:

a) everything looks swell, and our elected officials are finally listening to their constituents and can put aside their petty differences.

b) we have to get behind something that will generate $210 million in new revenue for the city as well as 6,000 permanent jobs.

c) by the time the full council votes on it next week, the “understanding” is that Tim Leiweke’s political fundraising contribution checks will have cleared.

== this new 9,500-square foot, 15-room home in Anaheim Hills that Lakers coach Mike Brown bought at a reduced price of $3 mil and includes a 350-gallon aquarium, a spray tanning booth and a temperature- controlled fur coat closet is equal to or greater than:

a) the low-scale condo in Marina del Rey that Phil Jackson decided was a perfectly appropriate place to co-habituate with Jeanie Buss on his meager salary.

b) the Newport Coast castle in which Kobe Bryant has his family sequestered, unless he moves five minutes away to the one-acre place in the Pelican Crest gated community that his agent recently purchased for him – a modest 14,500-square foot, three-story job with six bedrooms, 11 baths and a five-car garage that recently listed for $9.45 mil.

c) Hold on, Brown has a spray tanning booth?

== the Dodgers’ first “Think Clue” scavenger hunt today throughout Los Angeles, which requires fans to go to the locations of five “hidden” items via Twitter, photograph themselves at the sites and then tweet the pictures, is a really cool thing because:

a) the first five to finish get two field-level tickets to each game during the next six-game homestand, can watch batting practice from the field and will meet manager Don Mattingly.

b) It’s another entertaining use of social media to support your team.

c) the Dodgers’ scouting bureau will give a finders’ fee to anyone who stumbles across a couple of middle relievers, a power-hitting first baseman and a durable catcher during a stop at a local little League field.

== Jered Weaver’s appeal of a six-game suspension, the result of his throwing a pitch over the head of Detroit’s Alex Avila last weekend, means the Angels pitcher:

a) seriously believes he did no wrong, because with his control, he could have nailed Avila and made things worse.

b) Is relieved to make his regular Friday start at home against the pathetic Seattle Mariners and, after the hearing next week in New York, will likely start serving the penalty and skip facing the Yankees before their rowdy home crowd.

c) will bank on the Angels and Tigers facing off in the American League playoffs. so he can personally discuss this whole situation with Carlos Guillen. Aside from the fact Guillen is 10-for-20 in his career against him.

July 26, 2011

If you’re the kind of person who takes pride in their appearance, then you know how great a good sun tan can make you feel. There’s something about a nice tan that makes us feel healthy and attractive.

But few of us have the time to spend tanning in the sun, and we all know of the dangers associated with being exposed to the sun’s UV rays.

So what options are left for the person who wants a nice golden brown sun tan?

One of the most effective ways of getting a natural tan is with a tanning bed. over recent years the technology has made tanning beds very effective, and much safer. many of the best model of tanning bed even feature cooling systems to keep you feeling comfortable during the tanning experience. Since when has the sun ever done that for you?

But despite all the benefits a tanning bed can give you, you still need to follow the basic safety guidelines to reduce your risk of developing health issues, maybe even cancer, from being exposed to UV rays for too long.

You must always use an appropriate tanning lotion when using a tanning bed. Not only do they keep you safe from the UV rays to some extent, but they also help you tan evenly and thoroughly.

If you’re considering buying a home tanning bed, then you will want to pay enough money to get a good high powered tanning bed. why? because a tanning bed with a low max exposure rating (which also means it’s high powered) will allow you to get your tanning in a shorter amount of time, thus meaning less time spent under UV rays.

In conclusion, tanning beds are the best way of getting a nice tan. they can be expensive, but for most people who own them, they definitely feel it was worth the investment. But make sure you never neglect the safety issues of your tanning bed. If they are used appropriately, you can have your nice all year tan without putting yourself at higher risk for cancer.

What can I use to get tan without using a tanning bed or self tanner that makes you look orange?

July 23, 2011

It's winter time and tanning beds are to dangerous for me. I'm scared to try self tanner because I don't want to look orange. Can someone recommended a self tanner that WON'T make me orange please and thank you? oh and tips on how to evenly put it on would be helpful also!

I use Nivea's Sun-kissed beautiful legs. it says only use on your legs but I've never had problem with it and the results look surprisingly natural. You will have to apply every day as it is a gradual tint.

As for a even application: make sure you exfoliate in the shower with a luffa PRIOR to application , and lightly moisturize if needed. (You may also want to wear gloves to avoid discolored palms, or wash your hands straight away after completion.) Get a small amount on your hands and as evenly as you can rub it in throughly. on places like knees and elbows get a small make up application sponge and dab on lighter than everywhere else. if you over apply to any area in particular lemon juice and salt combined and lightly scrubbing the area will remove it.

Good luck!

Fake Bake. Just type it in google search, you'll find a link to their site. its made from organic ingrediants and isn't testedon animals. You only have to use it once a week, but you can do it more than that to get the desired effect. each time you use it, it will make you darker. if you change your mind about it, just stop using the product and it will just as a real tan would. it has a color guide so you can see where you put it on, but you have to wear gloves while putting it on (no biggie trust me). You just hop in the shower to rinse off the color guide in the morning but the tan stays! its pretty awesome and MUCH healthier than tanning. Guarunteed NOT to turn you into a carrot. :D

You really should start getting out in the sun, sans sunblock because your body needs it for strong bones. You should start at 15 minutes per side maybe twice per day and then as you get a decent base tan bump it up to 30 minutes. by the time summer is here, you'll have a rocking tan that's real.

Trust me, you don't want the tanning bed or self tanner, it's fake and people will know its fake.

Take your time and it will be worth it. Laura.
