And since we are a "Mobile Spray Tan  Service", we have traveled a little out of the way ourselves.  The record for us, is all the way back to Texas, for a private Spray Tan Party!!

Big Sky Country family doctor warns people about skin cancer prevention (VIDEO)

Even though summer is winding down, skin cancer prevention and usage of sun block should continue throughout the entire year.

Dr. Doug Pitman MD runs Whitefish Personalized Healthcare in Whitefish, Montana, Big Sky country, where outdoors' lovers are at risk for the three levels of skin cancer.

SignatureMD.com urges people to follow the news from two leading non-profit organizations, The SHADE Foundation and Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA), to increase awareness for this preventable form of cancer.

Skin cancer knows no boundaries, and affects every gender, age, ethnicity and region. Dr. Pittman and SignatureMD's efforts are to increase education and outreach efforts and to save lives.



Highlights from Dr. Pittman' statement to Monsters and Critics:

•       Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer, many women and men have not seen a dermatologist for a full body scan for skin cancer.

•       One person dies every hour from melanoma and there are more new cases of skin cancer than breast, prostrate, lung and colon cancers combined.

•       Concern for cancer is high except when it comes to skin cancer, which people do not see as deadly as other types of cancer.

•       When it comes to using sunscreen while being exposed to the sun, only one in five lather it on daily.

•       Most people know of someone diagnosed with skin cancer.

•       It is never acceptable to use indoor tanning beds.

•       A blistering sunburn puts you at higher risk for melanoma.

Check out the TANFAN

About TANFAN

These days the only safe way to tan is to fake tan. Whether it’s a spray tan,
cream or self-tanning kit, we all love that gorgeous, bronzed look, but what
we don’t love is…
  • streaks and marks on your skin from not wearing the right clothing post-tan
  • tanning stains left on your furniture, bed sheets and even your boyfriend!
  • that uncomfortable sticky feeling you get on your skin
  • not being able to go out in public for at least eight hours afterwards!


This is where the TANFAN comes in...


The first of its kind, the TANFAN is specifically designed to help ensure your tan
remains fabulous and streak free after every application. By wearing the TANFAN,
you'll feel 100% comfortable and it's stylish enough to wear wherever and whenever
you like...your favourite bar, shopping, at home and even in bed...

The TANFAN dress is made from high quality 100% cotton and washes out tanning
lotions and solutions with ease so you can wear it every time you tan.

So regardless of how often you fake tan, whether it's for special occasions or an
essential element of your weekly beauty regime, if you’re a fan of the tan then you
need TANFAN.

Spray Tans, Fedoras and Sunscreen: Laura Linney’s Summer Skin Safety Tips

Fair-skinned Laura Linney is no stranger to sunburns, sunscreen … or skin cancer. Growing up with a mother who worked at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the actress has always “been very aware of cancer and how fierce a disease it is.” And now that she’s playing a character fighting stage four melanoma on Showtime’s The Big C, Linney is working to spread the word about skin protection and cancer prevention. Speaking to PEOPLE at Cosmopolitan‘s Safe Sun Awards in Manhattan on Wednesday, where she was honored for her efforts to battle melanoma, she said, “Any attention that I can help raise, I am happy to do.” Her number one piece of advice? “Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen,” she emphasized. “There are now so many different kinds of sunscreen. There are lotions, there are sprays, there are powders. There’s something for everybody out there.” But protecting your skin can come with its fashion perks, too. “I wear a lot of scarves because I get very burned,” she said, adding, “I love hats. I do the big crazy, southern-lady gardening hat, I do the baseball cap; I love fedoras.” If you do crave that golden glow, “Roxanne Rizzo has a spray tan that’s very, very good,” Linney shared. But staying sun-safe doesn’t mean you can’t hit the beach or spend an afternoon outside. “Everything in moderation,” she said. “It just means you have to grow up and be a little responsible about it.” –Hannah Kay Hunt
