The Season Is Here!
Turn Heads With A Healthy-looking Tan
by Judie Bizzozero
 Now
that the hectic holidays are over and you have time to catch your breath,
it's time to turn a little attention to yourself. Make some time to get
to your favorite tanning salon for some relaxation and a healthy-looking
golden tan.
In addition to making your skin look great, did you know that a tan actually
can help hide some of those extra holiday pounds you acquired--by making
you look thinner? Talk about pumping up your self-esteem while providing
you with all the wonderful benefits of UVR!
The products featured here can be found in your professional tanning
salon and are ideal for helping maintain proper skincare, whether you
tan indoors, outdoors or not at all.
| Prior to starting your tanning regime, be sure to get your skin
in shape. This means moisturizing daily to keep your skin soft and
supple so you achieve a better tan. Also, make it a point to drink
plenty of water as it aids in healthy skin.
When you are ready to begin tanning indoors, be sure only to use
a high-quality lotion purchased from your tanning salon professional.
Lotions purchased from flea markets, drug stores and the Internet
might not be what you think--even if they claim they are made for
indoor tanning.
Indoor tanning lotions are formulated specifically for use with
tanning equipment. There are many types of lotions and gels--from
accelerators and amplifiers to tingle products and bronzers. Discuss
your likes and dislikes with your tanning salon operator who will
direct you down the path to a healthy-looking tan.
Manufacturers' studies indicate that the use of accelerators and
amplifiers actually can enhance and stimulate the body's natural
tanning process. When the skin is exposed to natural or manufactured
ultraviolet light, it stimulates production of a pigment found in
the body called melanin. When melanin is triggered, it rises to
the epidermal layer of the skin, allowing the tanning process to
begin. Since our bodies do not store large amounts of amino acids,
which are components of melanin, it can take days after exposure
to ultraviolet light to develop a tan. |
