Pros & Cons: Spray Tanning in the Winter

The “lit from within” glow is not easily achieved during the winter. For some, it means drinking more water or using brightening serums are the only solution. And for those with little patience, a spray tan usually does the trick. Getting bronzed in the dead of winter is a quick and effective fix for when our skin tends to look duller. However, many of you out there still associate spray tans and self-tanners with the color orange, stickiness and strange smells. In an effort to dispel any myths surrounding sunless tanning, here is a  breakdown of what to expect before, during and after a spray tanning with us.

The Misconceptions 

• For starters, spray tans are nothing like the tangerine-colored ones you remember from the early ’90s. And they’re not just for people with a light complexion. See, the point of a spray tan is to give you a glow, and not completely alter your skin tone.
• A high-quality spray tan should give you a natural glow, one that doesn’t leave streaks or inconsistencies.
• The final color you achieve after a spray tan should dry fast and immediately elevate your glow in just one application.
• The sign of a good spray tan is that no one should know you have one. To ensure you will be pleased with the final results, have a consultation with a professional and then go for it!

 

The Advantages

• A seasoned spray tanner will tell you that aside from looking bronzed all year regardless of the season, a spray tan reduces any redness of the skin.
• Think of a spray tan as an invisible protective shield that creates the appearance of warmer skin, even if you are under the weather. Not to mention that a healthy glow creates the appearance of a more contoured, slim figure.
• Spray tans are also much safer than the traditional tanning bed. Indoor tanning raises a person’s risk for skin cancer by 75%.

3 Things That Better The Outcome of Any Spray Tan

There is nothing worse than ruining a perfectly good spray tan. Since spray tans be costly to fix, we decided to let you in on a little secret. There are a few things you can do before your spray tan appointment that will drastically improve the outcome of your tan. Here at Forever Young Body Clinic, it is our job to get your spray tan right the very first time! However, by following these few pre-spray tan steps we can guarantee a spray tan that you will love. 

 

• Exfoliate

With a gritty or non-oil based scrub, exfoliate your skin well before coming in. Exfoliating before your spray tan remove any dead skin cells that may be on the surface of your skin. If your goal is an even tan, you don’t want to forget this step!

• Put the Razor Down

We highly recommend NOT shaving or waxing (yes, that’s right ladies you heard us) until after your spray tan has settled overnight. Shaving can be a form of exfoliating and although it is helpful before a spray tan, exfoliating is a big no-no during the first 24 hours after a spray tan. Chances are shaving or waxing will remove your beautiful tan. So, feel free to book your wax prior to your spray tan!

• No Makeup

Save yourself the last minute hassle and remove any makeup, lotions, or oils on your skin before coming into the salon! However, deodorant, lip gloss, and mascaras do not need to be removed.

We hope to make your spray tan experience with us the best yet. By considering these spray tan tips, chances are your spray tan will come out flawless. Book your appointment today online or simply call to set up your next spray tan! We look forward to seeing you.

Tanning Can Remain A Fall Priority!

 Although Colorado should experience a few more weeks of intense sunshine, days spent at the pool and laying are about to come to an end. Since Fall is just a few more days away, temperatures and the strength of the sun will drop significantly, meaning your outdoor tanning days are numbered. If you are determined to keep your tan all year round, we have a fantastic alternative for you. Sunless tanning is not only a healthy alternative to remaining sunkissed but it is a way to continue feeling freshly tanned and confident all year long. 

Autumn in Colorado is truly amazing, but the drop in temperature can have a negative effect both physically and mentally. Maintaining a tan during the cooler months is a great way to combat the cold weather blues. A spray tan allows you to wear less makeup and certainly accents your fall style! Did we mention that spray tans are proven to help you appear slimmer? Spray tans are a celebrity go to for a reason. Not only will a fresh spray bring you an extra boost of self-confidence, but you will maintain a natural glow that can withstand the weather of any season.

Prepare For Summer With A Spray Tan!

Summer time is all about feeling free, fresh and confident. Achieving that perfect summertime glow certainly helps. However, for some of us, attaining that amazing sun kissed look is painful or virtually impossible. Before hitting the beach or setting off on an exotic vacation, come into FYBC and get a spray tan. By getting a spray tan before exposing your skin to the sun, you can establish a base! Not only will this minimize your chances of burning but it will allow you to tan faster once you are exposed to sunlight.  Although Colorado receives a great deal of sunlight throughout the year, do not underestimate the power of the sun further south! Even if you are someone who tans easily and never burns, a spray tan can give you extra support and protection when it comes time for vacay. Our tanning professionals are experienced, precise and some of the best in Denver. Not only will you walk out feeling great about your FYBC experience and your spray tan, but you will be one step closer to feeling your best on the sandy beaches of your next getaway.

Keep Your Spray Tan Flawless!

 

Good spray tans are often hard to come by, so you find a salon that leaves you glowing and flawless, do your best to take care of your amazing tan. Here are a few things to keep in mind before getting your next spray tan with us!

1. Don’t wear tight clothes – Post- spray tan your skin tends to be a bit sticky. Which is why it is a bad idea to wear tight clothing until the formula dries and sets in. Tight clothing increase your chances of smudging you tan. Bring along a loose fitting outfit and avoid smearing your tan.
2. Sandals or Slip-On Shoes – Putting socks on after a spray tan is a big no no! Although this seems like a small detail, it can totally ruin your spray tan.  We suggest bringing slip-on shoes or sandals to wear post-spray tan!
3. Know When to Get Your Tan – Spray tans need a good amount of time to set into your skin. If you want a long lasting, fresh tan, you should shower after only after hours.It is in your best interest to book your next spray tan for a day where you have some time to kill.

Now is the perfect time to schedule your spray tan appointment. The spring weather is about to hit hard and we know you want to be ready to show off your skin! Do not let the remnants of pale winter skin get you down. We have the spring time transformation fix here at Forever Young Body Clinic.

Before the Spring Break Plans Begin…

Spring Break is around the corner, which means vacation preparations are about to commence. One thing to consider before setting out on your next sunny adventure is the current state of your skin. If you havent had much sun exposure this winter, it is a terrible idea to jump back into the sun right away. In order to minimize painfull sun burn and to get the most out of the sunlight, ease your way into tanning. In order to look tan while establishing your base, a FYBC spray tan may be in order. When it comes to getting a spray tan, it is important to keep in mind that there are certain rules that should be upheld in order to get the best results. We are here to fill you in on the top 3 precautions you should keep in mind when getting your next spray tan with us!

1. Don’t wear tight clothes – After your tan your skin is going to be a bit sticky while the formula dries and sets in. That is why wearing super tight clothes like yoga pants right after a tan is not the best idea. Tight clothes just increases your changes of smudging and ruining your tan by making it uneven. Bring along a pair of loose fitting sweat pants instead.
2. Bring sandals – A small detail that often gets overlooked is the fact that putting socks back on after a spray tan can be a problem! That is why we recommend brining a pair of slip on shoes to get home in after your tan.
3. Get Your Tan at a Good Time – Allowing enough time for your tan to set in is essential for a long lasting and even tan. That is why we suggest you get a spray tan done on a day where you have some time to kill.

The next few weeks are the perfect time to book your spray tan appointment. Loving the skin your in starts with taking quality care of it.

Peppermint & Your Skin – Give Yourself a Gift!

Getting into the holiday spirit does not just end with decorating your tree! You can get festive with your skin care this season with peppermint oil. Clear and happy skin is possible and we have some fun tips for you to embrace this month. Here are three ways to user peppermint oil and how it can benefit your skin.

1. Makes Your Skin Brighter – Before applying your nightly moisturizer, add a drop of peppermint oil into the night cream. Apply the moisturizer to your skin as usual. The peppermint oil will brighten up your skin and keep you glowing.
2. Controls Acne – Peppermint oil controls excess oils and prevents clogged pores. If you are dealing with poor skin, give this essential oil a try.
3. Facial Mask for Clear Skin – To create a mask take 2 spoons of grated cucumber and 5 ml of peppermint oil (diluted). Whisk the components together and add 2 spoons of green clay to the mixture. Use the paste as a face mask. Let it dry and wash off with warm water. It clears the skin and absorbs the excess oil.

Help Your Spray Tan Last Longer

The rises a bit later and sets earlier as summer dwindles and fall gets closer. For those of you who appreciate a good tan, we understand that you may be feeling a little nostalgic. What is left of your summer tan? If you have already made the leap to spray tans for the year or are beginning to prepare for that transition, here are a few tips and tricks to make your skin more receptive to a spray tans as well as how to make one last longer. Here at Forever Young Body Clinic we pride ourselves in our ability to offer quality beauty treatments and services. We are a skilled and seasoned staff that puts 100% effort into it each service we provide! Here are a few things you can do at home that help the outcome of your spray tan!

Hold Off On Shaving

It almost makes sense to rid your body of any hair before spray tanning. However, this is actually counterintuitive! We discourage shaving or waxing before your appointment with us. Shaving is often times a form of exfoliation and can remove a great deal of your tan before it has had time to settle into the surface of your skin. Book your waxing appointment post-spray tan!

Exfoliating is Key

Exfoliating the surface of your skin before coming in for your spray tan is always a great idea. However, simply scrubbing your skin with soap wont do much. You need a gritty or non-oil based scrub or soap. The object of exfoliation is to remove any dead skin cells before the spray tan is introduced to the surface of your skin. Simple exfoliation can really make a difference.

Take It All Off

The last step before setting foot in the spray-tanning studio is to remove any lotion, make up or oil on your skin. Don’t forget your deodorant and any lip-gloss or chap stick that may be on.

Forever Young Body Clinic offers the best spray tans in the Denver area. The FYBC spray tanning experience is one of a kind. Book your appointment today online or simply call to set up your next spray tan!
