9 Tips for a Successful Spray Tan

Friday, November 27th, 2009

before-and-after

  • Plan ahead. Which day do you want to look most gorgeous? Book your Spray Tan for the day or two before this.
  • Exfolitation. Always make sure your skin is exfoliated. If you do not exfoliate regularly, do it every couple of days leading up to your Spray Tan. Concentrate on areas such as knees, feet, elbows and ankles because you do not want discoloration in those normally dry areas. Try Garnier Skin Naturals BodyTonic Sugar Scrub, $11.99
  • Remove Residue. It is a good idea to shower before your Spray Tan appointment — you need to remove moisturizer, deodorant, and sweat.
  • Timing. This can be tricky: if you have your Spray Tan in the morning, you risk smelling like fake tan for the rest of the day (while you also go deodorant free). Afternoon tan? Well, you might not have time to leave the office and have a shower first. Tip: Make an afternoon appointment, and if there’s no time for a shower, wipe yourself over with a cleansing wipe first.
  • Clothing. Wear lose, dark clothing to your appointment — even go without a bra (if you can). Don’t wear anything you’d want to risk fake tan ending up on. Remember to take thongs — slipping strappy heels straight back on will only cause patchiness on your feet.
  • Don’t be shy. Spray Tanners have seen it all; from drag queens to grandmas in the nude. The less you wear, the better the results. If you feel more comfortable wearing your underwear, go ahead. Otherwise take advantage of the paper panties that we have available for you to use.
  • Activity. There’s no point forking out $$$ if you’re going to head straight to the gym or out on the town within four to eight ours of your tan. You’ll just sweat and your color will either come off or become patchy.
  • Waiting Period. Wait at least 8 hours before washing, and remember: it’s normal for some color to come off when you first shower. Keep your water temperature at cool to warm and don’t scrub your skin. Instead, gently wash your body (without a loofah) and when drying, pat your skin rather than rub it.
  • Moisturize. Keep your body moisturized over the next 7 days. You can’t stop the natural cycle of shedding skin cells, but you can keep your skin hydrated so that patchiness is reduced as your tan fades as well as prolong your tan.
  • Three Little Known Skin Beauty Tips (Not Tanning!)

    Friday, November 27th, 2009

    Every day thousands of women spend a fortune in beauty products trying to find the fountain of youth. Every line of beauty products promises the same thing; and every one claims to be the best. You will often see beautiful models promoting the various lines of beauty products. The truth is that genetics and air-brushing the photos have a lot more influence on them than what beauty products they use; most likely they don’t even use the product they are promoting. I would like to share with you three of my little known skin beauty tips. Every day people mistake me for being between five to ten years younger than I really am, because of the way that I take care of my skin.

    Tip number one: Consistency and routine

    When it comes to finding the right facial cream, you don’t need to pay big money for a name brand. Every cream claims to have some kind of new “super ingredient” that will reverse the signs of aging. The truth is you need to start taking care of your skin even before fine lines begin to appear. There is no “magic” cream, almost any moistureizer will work as well as another. The secret is consistency. You must wash your face every night and liberally apply the moistureizer, massaging it into your face. Sleep with your hair pulled back, away from your face. In the morning, wash your face again, afterward splashing it with cold water to tone and close pores. Let your face air dry before applying moistureizer. If you are prone to acne this is the time to aplly your acne cream. Don’t spend alot of money for name brands. The secret is to look at the ingredients. There are two types of acne medication; one is salylic acid, the other is benzyol peroxide. Most pharmacies carry generic brands of either one for about one tenth of the price of the name brands.

    Tip number two: diluting your liquid foundation.

    For every day use I have found that most liquid foundation is very thick and heavy. A great way to help not only protect your skin, but also to have a more flattering natural look is by diluting your liquid foundation. Do not dilute it ahead of time, but as you need it. In the palm of your hand, place one drop of sun block lotion with an SPF of fifteen, and two drops of your liquid foundation; mix together with a Q-tip then apply to your face as you normally would. For trouble skin spots that still show through the diluted foundation, you can touch them up with a little un-diluted liquid foundation. When choosing the sunblock it is best to choose a facial moisturizer with SPF protection. Regular sunblock is very greasy and could clog pores.

    Tip number three: Remove facial make-up safely and effectively

    When it comes time to remove your make-up, you don’t need expensive eye makeup remover. Soap and water probably is not a good idea either unless you want red irritated eyes. The best way to remove eye make up is with plain petroleum jelly. A large jar is usually sold for only a couple of dollars, and it should last ou at least a month. With your fingers, apply to your eyelids and eyelashes, and rub in. With a cotton pad gently wipe off the petroleum jelly, the eye make up will come off with it. This also works for removing foundation and lipstick.

    I hope these three tips will help you to attain the skin you have been looking for.
