Getting that golden glow: First and foremost, the contestants need a good foundation for their look, which means attending Shteysel’s “Spray Tan Sundays.” At the beginning, she says, some contestants are resistant to the tan (she uses South Seas SkinCare spray tanning solution and their Island Glow Body Bronzer), but soon they warm up to it.

Aly Raisman Shares DWTS Spray Tanning Secrets

Some people have asked about all the spray tanning that happens on the show! Last week, I didn’t even get spray tanned because they did two coats on me the week before, and I was so dark. I didn’t even look like myself! So I skipped it this week, but I get really dark, really easily, so I have to do a really light shade. Everyone gets their spray tan Sunday night after camera blocking, which is when we go on the real stage and they figure out where the camera angles should be, and then we go back and shower quickly and go get spray tanned. Sometimes it’s kind of of gross! You feel really sticky, but it looks good. As the week goes on, some parts of your skin start to fade and other don’t, so you just look like a mess! I’ve never had a spray tan before the show. I’ve never even been tanning. I normally try to be all natural, but for the show, I guess you go big or you go home!

"Sometimes it’s kind of of gross! You feel really sticky"

"As the week goes on, some parts of your skin start to fade and other don’t, so you just look like a mess!"

At WestCoast Tanning Co. you will never feel gross or sticky after our Spray Tans, and you will never look like a mess!   With 7 years of experience, we have tried solutions from nearly all the manufacturers and without any doubt we use the absolute BEST on the market!

It's simple, just because you may use the same solution they use on a TV show, or one supposedly used to tan a certain celebrity, doesn't make the solution a good one.

When we have tested solutions we graded them according to: 1. Color  2. Feel of application (If the solution is real wet or dry going on)  3. Longevity, and finally 4. Fading of the tan.

Our solution goes on dry, never sticky!  The color is a true coco brown shade that develops according to the individuals natural skin tone.  When I tan friends or groups, many clients will ask, "why does her tan look darker than mine?"  I have to explain, we are not spray painting everyone the same color, our solution reacts according to the individual and some will naturally look darker than others!  The length of the tan depends on several factors, but generally here in the drier climate we are accustom to in Montana it is around 5 to 7 days.  Our solution fades better than any other on the market.  You will never be patchy or scaly and look like you have some horrible disease.

If you've never had a spray tan, we encourage you to try it.  Just make sure it's a good one.  For those of you that have had a bad one, we invite you try a WestCoast Tan and let us change your mind!

New Jersey bans tanning beds for Under 18, spray tans for Under 14

By Reuters

NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill into law on Monday banning children under 17 from using commercial tanning beds, a move stemming from the case of a local woman accused of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth.
Under the new law, youth age 17 and older must have a parent or guardian present for an initial consultation with a tanning salon. It also bans children under 14 from getting spray tans in tanning salons.
Christie said that while he does not favor government regulation of small business, the new law was important for protecting the safety of minors.

"Governmental regulation of the private sector should always be carefully scrutinized, and sparingly adopted," he said in a statement. "The new restrictions imposed by this bill followed a single but breathlessly reported incident of a parent bringing a minor child into a tanning facility."
Patricia Krentcil of Nutley, New Jersey, was arrested in April 2012 after her daughter showed up at school with a sunburn and officials accused her of taking the child into a tanning booth.
Krentcil, who became known in tabloid stories as the "Tan Mom," testified that her own chocolate-brown hue came from many hours spent under the intense ultraviolet light of a tanning bed or out in the sun soaking up rays.

She denied exposing her daughter to a tanning session, and a grand jury opted not to indict her on charges of endangering the welfare of a child.

New Jersey was already one of several states that have regulations prohibiting anyone age 14 or younger from tanning with commercial ultraviolet devices because of the risk of skin cancer. The new law extends that ban to older teenagers.

Signing the bill into law, Christie noted the skin cancer risk and also that tanning before age 35 has been shown to increase the risk for melanoma by 75 percent.

Think A Spray Tan is Expensive? Think Again.

Cost Comparison:  Tanning Bed vs. Custom Spray Tan

Tanning Bed Salon

Cost of Tanning - Basic Unlimited Tan Package $30/month (at the cheapest).  Locally, the tanning salon shows $60/month for Level 1 Unlimited tanning!!!

Cost of Gas - Assuming you go at least 20 times during the month at 5 miles (round trip) = 100 miles/month from home and say you get about 25 mi to the gallon and gas is at $3.40: about $14/month

Cost of  Tanning Lotion -  $45/month (and that isn't even the good stuff).....and it probably won't last an entire month!

Cost of Moisturizing Lotion - $10/month to help your dried out skin from the tanning bed

Cost of your Time - Takes about 16 hours of your time out of your week going to and from the salon, waiting for your turn, putting on lotion, spending an average of 15 minutes in the tanning bed, dressing and driving back home. $0/month, but look at all the time you've wasted!

Total Cost: $99.00 (based on above low end rates)

Real Cost: $125 + potentially more due to the long term affects of tanning beds.

Now compare this to WestCoast Mobile Tanning service.

A custom spray tan as low as FREE when you host a tan party. But lets say you decide on a single mobile session.

You Pay $40 (decide to do it twice a month = $80)

$0 cost in gas

Bonus:  You never even have to leave home, it takes only 15 minutes of your day, you get a perfect tan look immediately that can last 7 to 10 days if properly maintained!!

NO BURNS, NO LONG TERM SKIN DAMAGE. . . . . PRICELESS!

Just regular moisturizing lotion to help maintain the sunless tan $5/month.

Total Cost (with 2 perfect sunless tans) $85.00.

Or you decide to throw a fabulous TAN PARTY, invite 5 friends and get your tan FREE. A great fun experience that everyone will love and remember.

What Are Your Thoughts on the Man Tan?

Lately men are taking a liking to some trends and activities formerly reserved for the ladies. And the latest beauty ritual that dudes are loving just so happens to be the spray tan.

In fact, even the manliest of men are embarking on a mission to get a good, bronzy glow. Mark Wahlberg is even taking a liking to the tan trend, as seen when he was photographed getting tanned outside his hotel balcony in Miami recently (in his skivvies, no less).

We wouldn’t necessarily picture Wahlberg as the type who gets spray tans, but hey—he looks good with a bronzy glow, no?

Which begs the question—what are your thoughts on men that spray tan?

Mark Wahlberg Strips Down for Spray Tan

Mark Wahlberg stands on his hotel room balcony as he gets a spray tan in Miami, Florida on May 29, 2012.

Bronzed babe!  Mark Wahlberg knows the importance of practicing safe sun, which is why he opted for a spray tan over the tanning bed ahead of filming his latest flick, Pain and Gain, in Miami on Tuesday.

The actor, 40, stood out on his condo's balcony as a spray tan technician made a house call to touch him up. Wearing just black briefs (an homage to his days as 1990s Calvin Klein underwear model Marky Mark), the woman blasted him with an airbrush gun, paying extra attention to making sure his chiseled features were enhanced.

Wahlberg needs to be extra bronzed for his role in Pain and Gain, a '90s era flick about two bodybuilders mixed up in an extortion and kidnapping plot, especially since his costar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has a natural Samoan glow.

Early photos of 'tan mom' reveal dramatic difference

Apparently all those dermatologists were right: in addition to bumping up your risk of skin cancer, tanning does make you look really old.

Early glamour shots of Patricia Krentcil reportedly showing the so-called "tan mom" with nary a wrinkle have created a buzz this week, including drawing the attention of TODAY's Hoda and Kathie Lee Gifford. A representative from Splash Media, which has rights to the images, says they were taken when Krentcil was in her twenties. Juxtaposed against the 44-year-old's current pictures, it's easy to see why dermatologists have been trash-talking tanning salons all these years.

Granted, we all age over the course of two decades, but it's hard to even recognize the features of the younger New Jersey woman within Krentcil's current lined and leathery face.
The mother of five was charged with second-degree child endangerment for allegedly trying to introduce her 5-year-old red-haired daughter to the wonders of tanning salons. While Krentcil vehemently denies the charges (she says the young girl got sunburned while playing in a kiddie pool), she readily admits she loves to tan, something she does up to 20 times a month, according to reports.

"I'm sorry I'm tan, I like to be tan, it just feels good," she said in an exclusive interview with TODAY.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, more than a million people in the U.S. use tanning beds every day, nearly 70 percent of them young girls and women aged 16 to 29 years old. In addition to being labeled a known carcinogen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization, indoor tanning beds increase the risk of melanoma by 75 percent.

Studies have also shown that the UV radiation in tanning beds damages the DNA in skin cells with excessive exposure causing premature skin aging, immune suppression and eye damage, including cataracts and ocular melanoma.  Indoor tanning can also be addictive, the organization warns.  Krentcil, whose extensive tanning practices have inspired both a Tanorexic action figure and an SNL parody, says there's nothing wrong with tanning.

"I didn't do anything wrong," she told TODAY. "Is there something wrong about getting your nails done or somebody who smokes too much or somebody who overeats? If this is such a problem, why wasn't it said years ago?"
