7 Tips to Achieve a Sun-Kissed Glow

Fortunately, there are safe and effective ways to achieve a beautiful tan without compromising your skin’s health.

In this blog post, we’ll share tips for safe tanning and highlight the tanning treatments we recommend helping you glow all summer long.

1. Understand the Risks of Traditional Tanning: Before diving into safe tanning methods, it’s essential to understand the risks associated with traditional tanning.

Prolonged exposure to UV rays from the sun or tanning beds can cause:

•              Skin cancer, including melanoma.

•              Premature aging, such as wrinkles and age spots.

•              Sunburn, which damages the skin's DNA.

2. Self-Tanning Products: One of the safest ways to achieve a tan is using self-tanning products. These come in various forms, including lotions, mousses, and sprays.

Look for products that contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a color additive that darkens the skin temporarily.

•              Application Tips: Exfoliate your skin before applying to ensure an even tan. Use a tanning mitt to avoid streaks and wash your hands afterward.

3. Professional Spray Tanning: For a flawless and even tan, consider professional spray tanning services. This is not a service we offer, but we can recommend a service provider. The benefits of this tanning method are:

•              Customized Shades: There are a range of shades to match your desired look, from a light sun-kissed glow to a deep, bronzed tan.

•              Quick and Convenient: The process is fast, typically taking around 15 minutes, and results can last up to a week with proper care.

4. Tanning Enhancements: Boost and prolong your tan with our range of tanning enhancement products and treatments. These include moisturizers and serums designed to maintain your tan and hydrate skin.

•              Tan Extending Moisturizers: Use these daily to nourish your skin and extend the life of your tan.

•              Hydrating Treatments: Our hydrating facials and IV infusions can help keep your skin soft and glowing, enhancing the appearance of your tan.

5. Safe Sun Exposure: If you prefer natural sun exposure, follow these tips to tan safely:

•              Time It Right: Limit sun exposure to early morning or late afternoon when UV rays are less intense.

•              Use Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin while allowing a gradual tan.

•              Take Breaks: Avoid prolonged sun exposure and take breaks in the shade to prevent sunburn.

6. Aftercare for a Lasting Tan: Proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining a healthy tan. Hydrate your skin regularly with aloe vera or after-sun lotions to keep it soft and supple. Avoid exfoliating too soon after tanning to prevent fading.
