My friends and I have our summers all planned out right to the last day. After a period of staying in the office for a few months because of the busy work schedules that we have, clearing it all out in time for summer is the best ending for all the hard work we have gone through. After all, summer only happens once a year and it is the only time we get to strip to our bikinis!

Of course, we have to make sure first that we are ready to be in our suits before we even get out of the house. We already have our spray tanning supplies ready to make sure that we would look just as perfect when we fly out and head to our paradise destination. For sure this will be a memorable and worthwhile trip for all of us!

There are those of us who would need a bit of help when it comes to our complexion. We have to admit, we are not as lucky as others who can look particularly great all year round. We would need some extra effort in order to get ourselves all tanned out and perfect. Otherwise, we would look like we are vampires out to hunt for some blood.

This is the common problem of Caucasian people. This is why there are those who invest in tanning tents to make sure they can remedy the problem whenever the need arise. This is the perfect solution for those who would want to enhance their beauty and look like they have just hit the beach even when it’s winter season. Everybody wants to look their best at all times. It doesn’t hurt to try and enhance their beauty with the aid of products in the market.

My friends and I are planning a long week in my friend’s beach vacation house. We are expecting a whole lot of other people to also be in the area by this time, especially since vacation is up. Our group will never let the vacation pass by without having these get-togethers and parties. After all, everyone deserves a break and we do know how to throw a great party!

For this year, we decided to hire the services of a mobile sunless tanning company to get everyone looking great for this once a year occasion. We have all chipped in to have them come over on the first day we arrive in town, this way we can all have perfect tones before we get people to slowly arrive to the house. This is the perfect way to get ourselves ready, after all we would want to party in style!

DIY Tanning

The trouble with sunless tanning is that it does not stay forever. The time the color will stay depends on several factors including skin preparation and the kind of tanning product used. On the average, it should stay about 30 days. That means that if you want a consistent look you need to visit the salon monthly; and that can make a dent on your budget. Maybe, you should start thinking about a DIY skin tanning project.

Applying your own tan can have positive results. Aside from the tanning formula, you will have to invest in supplies and equipment. An airbrush tanning equipment is a must. With some research, you should be able to determine the type of airbrush tanning equipment that you will be comfortable with. People are usually at ease with a spray tan compressor. It is one of the least expensive options.

Have you ever bathed under the sun for hours and days just to be able to get a tan? I did and it was really frustrating. The farthest I could reach was a pinkish glow all over my body instead of the golden brown I always dreamed of having. I always get envy with my friends who can easily get a tan whenever they wanted it.

I think my best friend got frustrated with me to that’s why she introduced me to a solution for my problem. She told me to try out the airbrush tanning systems that were easily becoming popular nowadays. I tried it out and indeed the results were fast. It was also an easy process because it was non-invasive and very safe. You just have to be sure that you are not allergic to the tanning formula and thankfully I am not.

Perfect Tent

I am a make-up artist and I also specialize in tanning. My business is usually at its peak when beauty or bikini pageants are on the rise. I am usually contracted by lots of organizers or contestants to give them my service. I am usually in-demand because of my tanning specialties.

But recently, I have been having trouble with tanning because some organizers won’t give me a room to tan my clients. In cases like this, I would just set-up a mini tent with the use of sheets and whatever is available. It’s really such a hassle and that’s why I am thankful that spray tan tents were invented. They are the perfect place for me whenever I encounter organizers like the ones mentioned above. So of you are tanning specialist, I suggest you buy one and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Beauty in an Instant

Despite my busy schedule I make sure I have breakfast. If I cannot have breakfast at home – usually a bowl of cereal or wheat bread and jam with some fruit – then I eat when I’m on the way to work. I eat on the train. I take the Amtrak and they have bagels and juice available. The 20 minute ride is also a good way to catch up on some reading and rest.

For my beauty regimen, I always look for fast ways. I’ve heard of the mobile tanning booth and its advantages. I intend to research more on this. I think it’s good that there is this option. I’ve also used the hair conditioners that you just apply and leave on your hair. These products are a blessing to my busy life style!

Main Ingredients of Sunless Tan Products

Sunless tanning involves the use of sprays, solutions and lotions. The most common component of sunless tan solution is dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is not a dye, stain or paint. It is a chemical that causes a reaction with amino acids in the skin surface to initiate a color change. Another chemical that works similarly is erythrulose. Both cause temporary effects but when used in combination, erythrulose and DHA creates a longer lasting effect.

These components are used in different kinds of sunless tanning products including gels, lotions, sprays and wipes. It requires that the skin be prepared by cleansing, exfoliating and drying completely before application. Bathing is to be avoided until the product is completely absorbed which should take from one to six hours depending on the thickness of the skin. When applying tanning solutions, exposure should be avoided in the area of the eyes, lips and other parts covered by mucous membrane. Inhalation should also be avoided.

With tanning salons sprouting all over, the tanned look has become so much easier to achieve. Some have even tried applying it on themselves with satisfactory results. For first timers, there are certain preparatory steps that should be done to be able to achieve that spray tan healthy glow. Be aware of these and you can become an expert in due time. You won’t have to visit a salon ever again.

The overall effect of the tanning procedure depends on the state of the skin. It should be prepared by exfoliating with a product specially designed for tanning. This removes the top layer of dead skin cells making the tan last longer. Shaving is another preparatory step. Do it a day before the actual application to avoid the bronzer getting into open pores. Avoid wearing perfume or deodorant on the day of application. Also, don’t shower for the next five hours after application.

What to Look for in Tanning Tents

A good tan may be all about the solution. But the right tanning tent is also a major factor in getting good results. So, what should you look for in tanning tents? Think about its portability. If you are in the business of mobile tanning you will be lugging your tent from one place to another. It is important that it is compact and lightweight without losing its efficiency.

Make sure that your tent looks professional. Don’t pick one that looks like a plastic tarp; rather, go for a pop up tent that sets up and folds quickly and neatly. Choose one with windows on the top portion. As there will be a lot of spattering about, a material that is easy to clean is an advantage. One made of vinyl will be a good choice.
