Want a darker, natural looking tan?

The first thing that you need to do is build a base tan. You can do this by tanning on a regular basis and gradually increasing the amount of time you spend in the tanning beds. It can require anywhere from four visits to as many as eight depending on your skin tone.

In order to enhance your tan, you should use a tanning lotion to accelerate the process. This helps build and maintain the base tan. You should also exfoliate your skin before tanning.

After tanning, you should moisturize your skin, but make sure to avoid one with mineral oil. Mineral oil can actually prevent your skin from tanning as quickly.

After you have a base tan, you should go two or three times a week. You should alternate between stand up booths and tanning beds to get the most even tan. You can even consider switching between low and high intensity beds for the best tan.

Even the foods that you eat can help your tan looking dark. Foods rich in beta caratone like carrots, tomatoes, radish and broccoli are a must for tanners.

Make sure take care of your skin, never letting it dry out, especially your face.

It’s really not hard to get a natural looking tan, especially if you follow these simple and easy suggestions.

If you’ve ever been in any tanning salon, not just an Extreme Tan And Smoothies, but any one, you probably saw their display of tanning lotions. I’ve heard more than a few novice tanners wonder out loud what the point of a lotion was why did they need t spend their money on it? Well, it’s not just a plan for the tanning salons to make more money, the lotions actual help you tan and nourish your skin, so using a tanning lotion is a very good idea.

There’s so many tanning lotions that it can be overwhelming when you walk into your salon. There’s different kind of lotions, dozens of brands and much more to choose from.

The first place to start is by choosing a type of lotion. The three main kinds of lotions are bronzers, tingle lotions and standard lotions that don’t have either. Of course, there’s even lotions that are a combination of both bronzers and tinglers.

Bozner lotions are the most popular on the market right now, because they help tanners get the deepest, darkest tan as quick as possible. They have ingredients that help your skin become noticeably darker in as few as two or three visits to the salon.

Most tanning lotions also have additional ingredients in their formulas to keep your skin moisturized and to protect it. These ingredients are often what will set one lotion apart from another. There’s hemp seed oil, anti-aging blends and skin firming compounds to name just a few. Some lotions have become so advanced that their prices can reach close to a hundred dollars.

Whether you want to pay that much or less is entirely up to you, but one thing is certain, if you go into a tanning bed and don’t apply tanning lotion, your skin has a greater chance of getting burnt, getting an uneven tan and even increasing the chance of skin damage.

It’s completely understandable to be overwhelmed and unsure about tanning lotions, but talk to the associates working there, they have training on lotions and are generally experts when it comes to picking out the right kinds of lotions.

Baking in the sun is bad for your skin, long term exposure to the sun’s UV rays can lead to wrinkles and even health threatening like skin cancer. However, there is a UV free alternative that can still give you that dark tan that you want.

Extreme Tan And Smoothies has two options for you. You can either come to one our six locations or we’ll come to you and airbrush you with a natural looking tan.

We use a combination of safe ingredients including dihydroxyacetone also known as DHA. It’s a chemical that comes from glycerin. When it’s spayed on your skin, it reacts with the amino acids in the out layers of your skin, producing a brown tan color that can last for a week to two weeks.

DHA is considered safe by the FDA and it’s a good alternative to basking in the sun for hours.

Just remember that spray tanning doesn’t darken your skin, so it doesn’t protect you when you go outdoors. So if you do go out to the beach, make sure you bring along your sunscreen.

Call 727-385-8885 to learn more about our mobile airbrush tanning.

You may have noticed around Pinellas county a new Extreme Tan And Smoothies billboard. There’s ten billboards that feature Melissa, one of our store managers and advertises our new Mobile Airbrush Tanning service. That’s right, now you don’t even have to leave your house to get a dark, natural looking tan.

Last month, Extreme Tan And Smoothies started offering professional and personal mobile airbrush tanning in the Tampa area. A trained technician can come to your house, office or wherever you want and use a handheld spray gun to spray a light mist of a natural sunless tanning lotion on your body.

The process is formulated to work with your body’s chemistry, amino acids, proteins and temperature, to darken the skin. A sugar beet derivative oxidizes the skin in much the same way that a peeled apple browns when exposed to the air. The mixing of sugar, natural acids from the body and temperature is what causes the transformation to take place.

Within twenty-four hours, the tan develops into a golden brown that lasts for up to ten days.

You won’t have to waste time waiting or dealing with uncomfortable settings. The service can be in the privacy of your own home or wherever you like. It’s perfect because it can fit even the most hectic of schedules, so you can spend more time on important things like meeting work deadlines or spending quality time with you family.

With this addition, Extreme Tan And Smoothies continues to stay ahead of other tanning salons. Whether you want to tan at home or at one of their six locations across Pinellas County you can always get the best tan possible.
