- Shower Gels
We all know healthy skin tans better.
Bar soap tends to dry out the skin making
shower gels a much better option. Your salon
professional can recommend a shower gel that
is suited for your skin type.
- Moisturizers
After a nice hot shower, your pores are open
and ready to soak up moisturization.
Moisturizers formulated for tanners are rich
in nutrients and better suited to the
conditions that a tanner is exposed to
during a tanning session. Some also contain
forms of tyrosine, which will boost the
tanners' ability to tan. Also ask your salon
professional for bronzing moisturizers for
that little bit of color maintenance.
- Exfoliating
Exfoliating is an excellent way to prepare
the skin for tanning. Dry skin reflects UV
and can prevent the skin from tanning to
maximum potential.
Exfoliating will scrub away dry skin leaving
behind skin that is smooth, moisturized, and
ready for color. Exfoliating before a
Sunless tanning session makes for an even
tan. Ask your salon professional for an
exfoliant that is right for you.
- SPF Protection
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Based
on the individuals skin complexion certain
SPF's will help prevent the skin from
burning during a certain time period. For
example a person with a light skin
complexion staying out in the sun for one
hour should use a SPF 15. Sunscreen should
be reapplied often.
- Tattoo Balm
Direct UV light can fade the colors in a
tattoo. To keep the colors bright in a
tattoo, use tattoo balms with SPF
protection. Lip balms with an SPF protection
of 30 can also be used to protect a tattoo.
- Lip Balm
Lips tend to burn during a UV tanning
session due to the fact that lips have no
melanin. The circulation of air coming from
the tanning bed fans will also cause the
lips to dry out resulting in an unpleasant
tanning experience. Ask your salon
professional for lip balm today.
- Facial Products
Always use facial products that offer a
minimum SPF factor of 15. There are many
hypoallergenic and unscented facial tanning
products available. Please discuss your
options with a salon professional.
- Know Your Lotion
Accelerator: An accelerator is a lotion,
which moisturizes and stimulates the
production of melanin. They are rich in
vitamins and nutrients, which are vital for
healthy skin. Accelerators are ideal for the
beginning tanner or when a tanner has
plateaued and needs to begin the tanning
process over again.
-
Bronzers
Bronzers are lotions, which give the tanner
immediate color gratification. Some bronzers
have DHA and some have cosmetic bronzers.
Bronzers are ideal for a tanner who already
has a base tan or for a new tanner with a
darker skin tone.
- Tingle or Hot Action
These products stimulate the surface of the
skin. This causes blood to rush to the
surface and in doing so pushes the
melanocytes deep in the skin to the surface
exposing more of them to UV light. To test a
tingle for intensity the best place is on
the inner part of the elbow or during a
tanning session on the legs only.
- Coolants
These are lotions, which contain ingredients
to cool the skin resulting in a more
comfortable tanning session for the tanner.
The fragrances also have a relaxing effect
on the tanner. These contain menthol,
spearmint, eucalyptus and other such
ingredients.
- Eyewear
Please use eyewear!
UV exposure can cause damage to the eyes.
Bacteria from unclean eyewear can also cause
damage to the eyes. Make sure you clean your
own eyewear after every use or ask us how to
properly clean your eyewear. Eyewear needs
to be washed and dried with an antibacterial
soap after each use.
