Not Sure About Spray Tanning?

The negative press of UV and SUN tanning and the general public’s increasing desire to look their best has launched what is to be the biggest trend to have hit the beauty industry.  Spray tanning is the latest form of tanning and has increased in popularity thanks to the enthusiastic response of Hollywood celebrities.  Many Hollywood celebrities and models are absolutely hooked on spray tanning and have added “Star Approval” to this hot new trend.  With the recent explosion in spray tanning popularity it’s no surprise that our email box and Facebook has seen an increase in the questions about spray tanning. I think the thing that surprised us here is that we have done something like 1,200 spray tans in the last few years, so every once in a while we forget just how quickly spray tanning is becoming a safe sunless tanning option for many indoor and outdoor tanners.

We wanted to take a few minutes and quickly explain a few things about spray tanning so that any of you that might still be a little curious, might have a better idea of what spray tanning is.

About Spray Tanning

• Natural looking just off the beach color
• Instant results
• Safe tanning alternative to tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed
• Great for last minute events

Approved by the FDA, along with the American Academy of Dermatologists, The Skin Cancer Foundation and The American Medical Association, spray tanning is one of the safest and healthiest ways to tan.  You look thinner, feel sexier; it helps disguise cellulite, stretch marks, blemishes and imperfections.  If you don’t have the time to visit the tanning salon, you can still have a great looking tan without the harmful UV rays.

Airbrush or spray tanning is a fast drying, brown spray on color solution. Most sunless uv free spray tan solutions give you color in two ways. First with a Cosmetic Bronzer (instant) that is visible the moment you apply the product. The next forming color you will receive from your uv free tan is with a DHA Bronzer (dihydroxyacetone) which reacts with the Amino Acids in your skin to develop color anywhere from 2-24 hours with absolutely NO ORANGE color. Streak-free formula’s have built in sheeting action to eliminate spotting and streaking which you would get with many store bought sunless tanning products. Many uv free solutions such as ours utilize skin firming, and anti-aging technology for younger, healthy looking skin. Our premier solution is loaded with essential vitamins and moisturizing agents to keep your skin hydrated, smooth, and looking/feeling fresh.

Love, Lipstick, and Pearls;...Product Review: Spray Tan

Review: Spray Tan

With the wedding coming up, I want to definitely have a "bridal glow", not a Jersey Shore tan and I don't want to look like Casper. I've never been one for fake baking, but have used self-tanners in the past. For all the bridal events coming up (shower, bachelorette party) I wanted to have the tan nailed perfectly by the wedding.

I've heard tons and tons about spray tans so I wanted to check them out. I Googled and asked around and came across Premiere Sunless Tan in Chino, CA. Kari is the owner of PST, it's a mobile service so you can head to her place, or have her come to your home or work for the tan. Sorry it's not a chain store ladies, but if you live in the area you should definitely check them out! I set up my appointment with the owner Kari and headed over.

I had a custom full body spray and I'm so happy with the results! Kari uses a tanner that has bronzer in it so you see the results right away. My tan lines from last summer are barely visible!

Anyways, the tan is the exact color that I was looking for! My tan is even all over my body and I didn't have any orangeness from the spray at all! The color looks very natural, like it's the middle of summer or I just got back from a vacation.

Everything I wear looks so much better now and I don't have any need to wear bronzer on top of the tan. I feel so much more confident and I definitely look thinner do to that 5-10 lbs a tan can shave off of you.  I've never cared too much about being tan, but now I think I'm addicted!! I'm so happy with the results, I bought a package and have 4 tans to use before the big day.

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.

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
