A Guide to Using Any Supre Tanning Lotion

Filed under Tanning Articles

People all over the world are choosing or opting for the cosmetic value and prestige of fairly darker skin. It has become a fashionable trend to tan the skin occasionally, using sunless tanning lotions, now that busy lifestyles cannot allow for the occasional sun basking tanning sessions at the beach. Tanning products have also increased in the market to cater for the rising demand, but among these, the most popular are tanning lotions. Supre tanning lotion brands are among the best products in the market today.

The key advantage of using a Supre lotion is that it helps your body produce adequate levels of Vitamin D. A good and even tan using the Supre lotion will take 10 to 15 tanning sessions. Make sure that you do not have more than four sessions in the same week. Although the speed of the tanning process differs across individuals as determined by their skin features, Supre indoor tanning lotions are very effective in maximizing the tan effect under UV exposure.

The Supre indoor tanning lotions are professionally formulated in such a way that they enhance your body's production of melamine, the chemical substance that absorbs UV light. To do this the lotion first hydrates the skin and then conditions it to a sensitive level that can attract rather than repel light, which is what a dry skin does. The lotion thus allows more UV light to penetrate through the skin, amplifying the speed of the tan by more than 60% as compared to most of the other products in the market.

That is one key advantage of the Supre lotions; they work better, faster than many other products. Another key advantage of the lotions is that they do not solidify on the skin surface and cannot therefore clog the pores of your skin. When the pores remain open, more light can get in, air can circulate efficiently and the skin health will not be harmed. As such, Supre tanning lotions do not contain mineral oils which clog skin poles besides cracking the tanning beds.

Most of the Supre lotions should not ideally be used on the face, especially if you have an overly sensitive skin. The lotion when used on sensitive skin may cause irritation on the delicate facial tissues. To solve this problem there are several Supre lotions that have been released in the market of late as specialist facial indoor tanning lotions. Again, it is good to apply the Supre lotions hours before you start your tanning session, such as before you go to the salon. Ideally, apply the lotions when you are just about to lie on the tanning bed. This is mainly because, the lotion's motorization effect will be at the prime then, for maximal tanning.

If you purchase a Supre tanning lotion, check for the manufacturing date. The lotion has a shelve life of up to 12 months. Keep the lotion in room temperature conditions, avoiding extremely hot or cold places which may interrupt the chemical efficiency of the lotion's formula and thus decrease efficiency.

Supre Tanning lotion can truly give you a great tan. To learn more about Supre and to buy other discount tanning lotions stop by tanbybrand.com to learn more.

First time Tanning Guide

The first thing to do when tanning for the first time is to relax! Tanning is fun and relaxing and should be enjoyed. When you find the tanning salon that is right for you, make sure to tell them you’ve never been tanning before. It can be hard to decide just how many minutes to tan at first, but the tanning salon employees are seasoned pros and can help you figure it out. Make sure to tell them about your skin type: how easily you burn, recent sun exposure, and natural hair and eye colors. These things will all help you decide which bed you should use and for how long. You will fill out a bunch of paperwork (all to ensure your safety) that should also help you and the tanning salons figure out what is best for you and your skin.

When you get into your tanning room, make sure to ask how to operate the bed. Most tanning beds have radios or stereos along with plenty of fans to keep you cool. You don’t want to waste time figuring out how to work all the electronics—just ask for help! Also make sure the bed is clean, and if not, don’t be afraid to ask someone to clean it for you (or clean it yourself).

When you are all ready in your room, apply tanning lotion. Try out samples from the tanning salon before you commit to buying a big bottle. Tanning lotions are imperative to getting a good, even tan. Don’t bring lotions from home. Tanning lotions used for outdoor tanning are different from indoor tanning and can damage the beds. Most tanning salons also have stickers you can wear so you can see a decorative patch of un-tanned skin underneath, which will help you know how tan you are and when your tan fades.

One big question many people have is what to wear. Swim suit? Underwear? Birthday suit? Most people strip down and tan in the nude. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable—just remember to lock the door before you start skin tanning !

Your tanning bed will have a timer, so don’t worry that you’ll get stuck in there forever and not know when to come out. When the bed turns off, wipe yourself down (you will be sweaty!), and get dressed. Follow proper tanning etiquette and leave the room as clean as possible. Don’t forget to make an appointment on your way out. Next time, you’ll feel like a pro!

How To Apply Fake Tan / Spray Tan Application Instructions And Techniques – Achieve Self Tan Perfection With This Handy Guide To Applying Self Tanners

June 21, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Tanning Articles

Preparing the skin prior to self tanning

Prior to applying any self tanning products you should first ensure that you have exfoliated the skin well. The purpose of exfoliating is to remove all the top layers of dead skin that would otherwise flake off naturally and unevenly, taking your new tan with them. Through not exfoliating prior to applying a self tanning product, the uneven natural shedding of your dead skin cells leads to the common ‘snake-skin' patchy tanned look that many people often refer to, which is easily avoided by exfoliating first.

You should always wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to fake tanning, as this allows the skin to calm down and settle before any self tanning products are applied. When applying the self tanning product, for best results you should not mix the product with any other body lotions as this could dilute the tanning agent (resulting in a lighter tan), or the ingredients of the two products could conflict (resulting in no tan or a poor quality result). If you need to use any skin products prior to tanning you should apply them well in advance and ensure they have been completely absorbed before applying the self tanner.

If you have stubborn areas that always go darker when tanning, try using a barrier cream (a rich moisturiser) on them to stop those areas soaking up too much of the product and going too dark. This is generally only the case where the skin is harder, such as knees, elbows, ankles, feet, etc. Try applying only a very small amount of the product on these areas first until you get used to the amount you need to keep the colour even all over.

Self Tan Application:

For best results, apply the self tanning product straight after a shower. Avoid washing with shower gels and soaps high in alkaline as your skin should be neutral when applying the products. Apply the self tanning product evenly all over the body, taking time to ensure you're applying it evenly and not putting on too much – remember you can always apply another layer later if you want to go darker. It's often advised to use tanning gloves when applying fake tan to help prevent your palms from getting tanned, but as long as you scrub your hands with soap and hot water very well after you've finished applying, this will help ensure your palms don't end up tanned once the product develops in colour. Also, be careful when you're washing your hands not to splash the water onto your freshly tanned body as this can end up in small splash marks being visible after the tan has developed (where the water has washed off the product). To tan the back of your hands, apply a small amount of self tanner with cotton wool, sponge or a tissue onto the back of your hands after you have washed them; also wipe around your wrists to avoid any marks. Alternatively, apply a small amount of fake tan to the back of one hand and rub the back of both hands together. Then use a tissue to remove any fake tan from the palms and fingernails.

Depending on what fake tan product you've used, you'll either have to wait to get dressed for 10-15 minutes whilst the product dries, or in some cases there are products that dry instantly and allow you to get dressed straight away - such as Famous Dave's Self Tanning range. Some self tanning products give you an instant colour, which is ideal if you are going out straight away to an event, but some self tanning products don't have a guide colour and instead go on like a moisturiser and develop naturally over 4-6 hours, which you need to allow for in advance if you're heading out in the evening and want some colour.

The colour that develops from self tanning products can vary massively. Typically with self tanning you get what you pay for, therefore don't go for the cheap products as there will be a strong chance you'll end up with an undesirable end colour and tarnish your impression of what a good fake tan should look like. Instead you should be looking to spend £20+ on a bottle of self tanning lotion, as these products will have excellent ingredients and result in a very natural tanned colour being achieved. The better and more expensive products will often last you longer because you won't need to apply as much, therefore becoming more cost-effective over the long-term. You'll also end up with a tan that you'll never want to lose!

Apply one coat of self tan at a time, let that develop and then if you want to go darker re-apply in 12-24 hours. Don't re-apply too soon as this can affect the final result and the tan is more likely to flake off. Don't shower too soon after applying the tanning product either, it needs time to develop and by showering within a few hours after application could result in some of the product being washed off and not giving you a colour. The same can be said of physical activity too soon after application, perspiration can also end up in the product coming off prior to developing in colour affecting the overall result. If you still don't get the colour you were hoping, you may have applied too much moisturiser prior to tanning, not used enough of the product, or even used too much of the product. It's very often trial and error to begin with, but once you've applied a fake tan product a couple of times you'll know exactly what you're doing and perfect the colour you're looking for.

Maintaining your colour:

To maximise the length of time your tan lasts, you should use a high quality moisturiser daily to keep your skin moisturised and less likely to flake prematurely. You should also exfoliate lightly several days after applying the self tanning product to naturally remove the dead skin cells evenly instead of them flaking off unevenly. Prolong your tan further by applying a tan extender or gradual tanner in between full applications.

Quick Guide to Wholesale Tanning Supplies

Indoor tanning is rapidly growing in its popularity. Whether you're an avid tanner with a tanning bed at home, or an operator of a chain of successful salons, you can benefit from researching the best routes to obtain wholesale tanning supplies. With the wealth of resources available today at one's fingertips there is no excuse for overpaying for your tanning related needs.

There are many classes of supplies needed to operate a successful salon. The largest ticket items are the actual beds or booths themselves. Tanning beds come in many sizes, wattages and styles. Booths, which have the appearance of a common telephone booth, also come in many variations. It is incumbent upon the salon operator to research and determine the best choice to fit the needs of their particular customers.

Another essential staple for any salon is tanning lotion. Commercial establishments can go through a lot of lotion. Wholesale purchasing can save substantial money which works its way down to your bottom line. Many different lotions exist today including accelerators, bronzers, and therapeutic agents. Many organic alternatives are now popular containing natural ingredients ranging from henna to extract of banana.

Many salons now skip the UV rays altogether. Spray tanning has evolved so that the most skilled providers can create a look which surpasses a "real" tan. Most saliently, this is accomplished without worry about attendant adverse health effects. A wide variety of spray tanning supplies are available both at online wholesale sites as well as physical store locations.

There are many other supplies that must be considered if you desire to operate a top flight tanning salon. Protective gear is important especially with spray tanning. Goggles and nose plugs are a must for clients being exposed to DHA, the ingredient typically found in most spray tan solutions. Safety of your customers should be at the forefront of all your decisions.

Other essentials include sanitizers to ensure proper hygiene. Salons with high customer turnover on a daily basis can use up a lot of sanitizer. Purchasing it retail can equate to watching your hard earned money go down the drain. Light meters, timers and transformers are also commonly on the shopping list of tanning salon owners. A little research comparing wholesale prices can greatly help the financial health of your business.

Saving money on your purchases is important, but just as critical can be the avenue you select to finance your supplies. This is especially true for those opening a new salon requiring initial investment in the big ticket items. Many factors should be taken into account when making this decision between cash purchase, lease, or loan. For those uncomfortable in the world of finance it is best to consult a professional before entering into any commitment.

No one needs to pay retail for their tanning needs anymore, not even the individual buyer. Wholesale tanning supplies are available to all. Storefront locations are accessible to most, and for the rest there is a large universe of sites online which sell and finance all things tanning under the sun.

Get a healthy tan and save money when you buy wholesale tanning supplies. For more about all types of tanning supplies and beds , visit http://www.TanningVillage.com where you'll find this and much more, including the latest tanning equipment.

If you are the one looking for some ultimate tanning solution, you need to be a little careful for imperfect tanning will do harm to your skin. And tanning at the cost of your skin is better avoided. Your skin happens to be one sensitive part of your body and it performs some of the vital functions. It is skin that controls thermal equilibrium of your body and you get a greater part of vitamin D through it.

So, you owe a greater responsibility towards your skin; provide it proper care and attention. A consultation with dermatologist would enable you to know about the precautionary measures and other aspects of perfect tanning. He would examine the nature of your skin before imparting you tips on safe tanning. All tanning tips are basically oriented towards keeping the skin free of any side effects or reactions as a result of tanning. However, instructions for sun tanning and artificial tanning could be quite different. For, both these methods of attaining tan color have different set of precautionary grievances. I have compiled a quick guideline on tanning. Here it goes:

Before lying naked in front of sun, take note of following points.

1.The first and the foremost thing that you should do before going for sunbath is making your skin moisturized, preferably with SPF lotions. This will reduce the chances of skin rashes due to incidence of excessive ultraviolet rays.

2.Use recommended moisturizing creams. That is, you should keep your skin away from other cosmetic products and artificial fragrances.

3.In case of naked tanning, you must ensure that your breasts are properly moisturized with SPF creams or lotions.

4.Best time in a day for tanning is between 8 AM to 10 AM.

5.While lying under the sun, use ultraviolet protecting sunglasses on your eyes.

6.You must not take sunbath for more than an hour in one tanning session.

7.There must be a gap of 24 hours between two tanning sessions.

There are different sets of precautions for artificial tanning and they are as follows:

1.You must visit a reputed tanning salon.

2.It's better if you get tanned under low intensity UVB rays.

3.You should be extremely careful in choosing tanning creams for your face and strictly refrain yourself from using body tanning lotion on face.

4.If you are undergoing naked tanning, provide a shield of creams to your UV sensitive body parts. Specifically, you should protect your breasts and lips against it.

5.A tanning session should not exceed half an hour.

6.Lastly, lotions used for body tanning must be a product of SPF formula.

Following these easy tanning tips, you will definitely enjoy a rich as well as safe tanning. Good Luck!

Tanning Tips — A Guide to Safe Tanning

February 5, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Tanning Articles

Summer time is just around the corner and you want to be ready with that beautiful bronze all-over tan look. Yes I thought so, and who doesn’t!

But before heading over to your local tanning salon or taking those tanning pills, there are some essential facts about tanning that everyone ought to know. Tanning is fine but it should be done very carefully and you need to be aware of the risks and dangers associated with the various types of tanning options available to you.

The major danger with sun tanning is the exposure to ultraviolet light. Extended exposure to ultraviolet radiation from whatever source ages the skin. It also has the potential to cause what’s known as solar radiation damage, and could also lead to cancer of the skin. So the implications of sun tanning are not something to be taken lightly.

Exposure to ultraviolet light can also be responsible for rashes and sunburn. And it is not regularly known that ultraviolet light can also cause fungal skin infections and contact dermatitis. Indeed whether you are tanning in natural sunlight or using a tanning bed, ultraviolet is present in both, so utmost care is required. You should always bear in mind that there is no such thing as totally safe ultraviolet radiation.

Excessive tanning can result in skin conditions such as melasma, whose telltale sign is brown patches on the face, actinic keratosis (AK), and atypical nevus. And certain medications, including birth control pills, can make your skin more susceptible to sunburn. People with existing skin conditions must therefore take extra care when in the sun.

The intention here isn't to put you off tanning altogether, but to simply put you on your guard to be very careful whilst tanning and to be aware constantly of the degree of risk you are taking. As the saying goes â€" forewarned is forearmed!

Most people, typically women, begin their tanning habit as part of a beauty regime, frequently when quite young. So if you must tan, then let’s take a look at the precautions you can take to protect your skin.

The safest way to tan is to do it slowly and gradually over as long a period of time as possible. And always use sunscreen when out in the sun and protective goggles provided in tanning salons. These are two of the fundamental rules you should rigidly stick to.

It is recommended that people with certain skin conditions should use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. But if you do have any pre-existing skin conditions, always consult with your doctor first.

Sunscreen should be applied all over any skin to be exposed at least a half hour before commencing tanning, whether in direct sunlight or in the salon. And if you engage in any outdoor activities for extended periods of time, sunscreen should be applied about every two hours.

However, the news isn’t all bad. Indeed sun exposure in moderation can be good for the skin. Sufferers from eczema, pruritus, psoriasis and other skin conditions can actually see improvements with moderate exposure to the sun. But as with everything, tanning sensibly and in moderation is the key.

Of course there are also alternatives to tanning in direct sunlight or using tanning beds. For example sunless tanning is becoming increasingly popular. In sunless tanning, you will enter a room and a machine will spray you with a product that darkens the skin. This spray contains the chemical DHA (an abbreviation for dihydroxyacetone), a substance that gives skin a tan color. This chemical has actually been approved in the United States as safe to use for over twenty-five years.

Obviously sunless tanners are for external use only and when they are being applied, you should ensure that you adequately protect your eyes, nose and other sensitive parts of the body.

You might also have come across tanning pills. These can be found on sale at some tanning salons. However, at least in the United States, they are not currently approved as safe and have been associated with certain types of eye disorders. Some tanning pills have also been linked to liver damage and to urticaria, a skin condition which produces severe itching.

In conclusion, we all want a healthy skin and to look our best in the summer with a beautifully tanned body. Tanning is fine, but do it safely and be aware of how long you are exposed to the sun and harmful ultraviolet radiation. Keep in mind these guidelines and you will be less likely to encounter any serious problems when tanning.
