Indoor tanning . . . Smarter than ever!

An estimated 30 million North Americans turn to tanning salons as a controlled alternative to outdoor tanning. As we become increasingly aware of the benefits associated with regular exposure to sunlight and of the importance of managing the risks that can be associated with sunburn and overexposure, more people are turning to indoor tanning facilities to help attain their tans in a controlled environment scientifically designed to minimize the risk of sunburn.

Tricks to break through a “Tanning Plateau”

admin — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:59:15 +0000

Have you ever wished that you can get a darker tan? You keep tanning but don’t seem to get any darker? Well, you may have hit a “tanning plateau”.

How do you break through this plateau and get darker? There are a few “tricks” that you can use to break through this plateau and get a darker tan. First of all, take a look at what lotion you are using. Are you using an accelerator or a maximizer? If you are using an accelarator you can switch to a maximizer to break through. You may also want to try a lotion with a bronzer to give you that extra “kick” of color.

Another “trick” is to visit an oxygen bar before you tan. Twenty minutes of oxygen before you tan will stimulate melanin by 10 percent. Not only can you break through a tanning plateau, you can tan 10 percent faster as well. Can’t find an oxygen bar close by? Go to the gym instead! You can achieve the same effect by doing a good cardiovascular workout before tanning.

Finally, in order to break through a tanning plateau, re-stimulate your melanin. You do this by going into a tanning bed with a higher percentage of UVB.

At Glamour Tans, our fully trained and certified staff can assist you in breaking through your tanning plateau and help you acheive the best tan possible.

How to get the best tan!

At Glamour Tans, we use science to our advantage to get you the best tan possible! We have four different levels of tanning beds at our salon. Each has a different percentage of UVB and UVA light. UVB light stimulates melanin, while UVA light turns the melanin brown once it is stimulated. When you first start tanning, we give you a skin type analysis to help us determine how many minutes you should tan. We will then put you in a bed with a higher percentage of UVB light. This gives your tan a “jump start” by stimulating your melanin. After a couple of tans in this bed, your melanin is stimulated enough to put you in a different bed. We will then have you tan in a bed that has more UVA light. This turns the stimulated melanin brown very quickly. By using this method, you get your base tan much faster and your tan lasts longer as well. For more infomation about how the skin tans, you can visit the Tanning Truth website
