A spray tan is one of the healthiest tanning options on the market today, allowing men and women to get that sun-kissed glow without harming their bodies. But even a spray tan can go wrong. Many people go into the spray tanning booth thinking that they will have the perfect tan without realizing that color matters. Another mistake is going to the wrong spray tanning artist, someone who doesn’t have the right training or enough experience. So how do you get that perfect spray tan? Here are a few tips on how to get the best spray tan before a special event.

Select a method: When it comes to spray tanning, there are two main ways to get a golden spray tan: tanning booth or spray tan artist. A tanning booth is a great idea if you want a quick natural-looking tan. It takes only a few minutes. It’s also ideal for people who are shy and don’t want to bare their skin for a spray tan artist. The only issue with the tanning booth is that it may not get every part of your body.

However, if you’re not shy about bearing your body, a tan from a spray tanning artist is a better method to get a spray tan. A tan artist can apply the spray tan according to your specifications, and will make sure that every area of your body is covered. You can even get the artist to add contouring.

Research spray tan products: Once you’ve selected a method, it’s time to research spray tan products before you head to a salon. Not every salon offers quality products. For example, some salons might offer an organic airbrush tanning solution that doesn’t irritate your skin.

Go for a test run. Whether you go into a spray tanning booth or trust a personal spray tanning artist, it’s important to do a test run on a small area of your body before applying it everywhere. A test run will not only ensure that you get the right color, but also that you’re not allergic to the product. After you’ve tested a small portion of your body, you can even do another test run on your entire body. A test spray should be applied at least a month before a special event.

Take the time to prep your entire body. Before you can achieve a perfect sunless tan, you will need to prep your body. The best way to prepare your skin for a spray tan is to exfoliate your skin first. Next, get rid of all unwanted hair. Exfoliated skin free of unwanted hair is the best foundation to a great looking tan. Final tip: skip the lotion.

Buying new spa furniture for your business may seem overwhelming at first, but the ultimate goal is to provide consistency and comfort for your clients. Most people expect luxury while at a day spa, so finding a way to obtain high quality furniture at reasonable prices is the problem that needs to be solved.

Quality

Quality is one of the most important factors when choosing spa equipment. Companies that cut costs by using sub-par materials should be avoided. High-grade polyurethane foam superior vinyl covering, and industrial strength steel framing should be on your checklist when shopping for new spa equipment. Using cheap alluminum will cause damage to your furniture over time. If you are buying wood furniture, make sure it is thick so it will not warp. Your customers will be able to tell the difference, because high-end materials give the most comfort. Keep a luxurious image by only using the best of the best.

Convenience

Companies that value your time as a business owner will provide you with furniture delivered in one piece. This assures you of its quality. If you assemble it yourself, you could be liable for any damages. Let the company you buy from take that responsibility. Good companies offer user friendly websites to make your shopping experience quick and easy. They should include every model carried so you can browse and compare items.

Online transactions should be secure to protect your information. They should also offer a phone service to order if you prefer not to use the website. Shipping should occur within two to three business days. The company should accept all major credit cards, money orders and checks. Payment options should also be available.

Customer Service

Customer service is incredibly important when you are buying new spa equipment. The staff should be trained to answer a variety of questions whether you are a first time customer or a returning one. Expect customer service to be available at least five days a week.

Price

You don’t need to go out of budget to obtain high-end spa furniture. Choose factory-direct retailers that sell the best spa equipment you can find. A good deal on quality spa furniture ranges from $450 to $2500 dollars depending on what chair or table you choose to buy. This accommodates a wide range of budgets and needs. No matter what piece of spa furniture you buy, expect the same guarantees.

The success of any business depends on the amount of planning and preparation that goes in to staring it up as well as running it on a daily business. If you have decided to start up a spray tanning business, this is a very profitable business considering the high demand for it resulting from the increased awareness of the dangers of too much exposure to the sun.

The high demand means there are many tanning businesses in operation and these are some facts you should look into to ensure that your tanning salon or mobile spray tan business is successful and will stay ahead of the stiff completion:

Initial expenses and how you are going to fund it:

These expenses will include purchasing spray tan kits , spray tan systems and other products including a spray tanning tent, airbrush tan solution and other accessories as well as the fees you will have to incur to undergo a training program, rental deposits, rental payments and advertising costs. You will need to work out the expenses and come up with a way to raise the capital. If you need to take a loan compare the rates offered by several lending institutions which will let you get a lower rate.

If capital expenses are a problem, a mobile spray tan business will be your option since it involves less overhead expenses.

Get a thorough training: to keep up with the others in the business and to make a name for yourself, you cannot leave any room for errors.  This is where a good training will go a long way.  Undergoing a professional training course will give you the knowledge on how to operate the tanning guns, on how to choose the right airbrush tan solution to suit different skin types along with other important aspects which will result in a good spray tan.

There are many different products and companies out there in todays’ markets that promote spray tanning as a great option for sunless tanning. Some companies such as Artesian Tan sell products both for the individual user or for tanning salons. And others are simply tanning salons, dedicated to providing you a pleasurable experience with your spray tan purchase. Below are listed some things that go into your creating your own spray tan, so you can determine if you would prefer a DIY approach or a salon.

Spray Tanning Equipment

The equipment and effort needed for spray tanning is quicker and simpler than that of tanning lotions or gel. All that is needed is the solution you would like to use and the airgun/airbrush to spray the mist on, if you are doing it from home. Another option is to go to a tanning salon, which uses the same approach, but on a larger scale. There is very little effort involved in this and the tan will start to show within 45 minutes to an hour. The only cons to using this approach is that it tends to be a bit more expensive because of the extra labor- a helper is needed for this. Also, some people see it as time consuming to visit a tanning salon every few weeks. The pros however, could be viewed as relaxation time at the tanning salon, or the most convenient way to get a tan.

Spray Tanning Solutions

If you choose to do your spray tanning from home, you will need to find your tanning solution, or essentially to pick the color that you would like your skin to tan to. As long as the solution contains the active ingredient DHA, or dihydroxyacetone, any type of solution will do. DHA is the chemical that changes your skin color until your skin sheds, and a reapplication is needed. These solutions often come in various fragrances, since DHA tends to have a strong odor associated with it.

Airbrush Tanning Solutions

This is the same thing as spray-tanning solutions, except it is utilized specifically by airbrushes. It is recommended that DHA should still be the primary ingredient, since it is the most effective tanning solution on the market.

Really, spray tanning is that easy! Now that you know what goes into it, you can decide to either purchase the equipment yourself and have a tanning party with your closest girlfriends, or treat yourself to a nice afternoon out with a stop at the tanning salon.

If you’re a massage therapist or an esthetician, then you know the importance of using the proper equipment.  You need to have the right equipment, such as facial chairs, in order keep your customers as comfortable as possible.  Other important pieces of equipment involve facial machines, styling stools, salon chairs, and massage beds.

Most of the services that are offered at a spa put the customer in a vulnerable position.  Some services can even accompany some pain along with the pleasure and pampering.  The client trusts you with their health, beauty, and of course money.  For this reason, it’s vital to invest in high-quality and safe equipment that will keep your customers coming back over and over again.  You want to select chairs and tables that will help them relax as much as possible.  Not only will they be happier with their overall spa experience, but it will make it easier to do your job correctly.

One of the most important types of equipment in a spa today is massage beds.  While it’s easy to find very cheap beds that are used or on sale, it’s best to make sure that you know where the bed is coming from.  The right massage bed should be sturdy and yet soft enough to keep the client comfortable.  You also want to make sure that it’s clean and in an overall good condition.  Another thing to consider in this day and age is the amount of weight that the bed can hold.  We live in a time of a very high level of obesity rates.  Therefore, it’s good to consider an oversized bed as an option for customers.  You also want to make sure that the bed is easy for you to move around.

Another piece of equipment that you might have not considered before is one for the practitioners.  Particularly for estheticians, your comfort is just as important as the client!  It’s smart to invest in some comfortable and well-made chairs so that you can do your job to the best of your ability.  If you’re comfortable and happy during your customer’s treatment, they will feel that ease from you and relax even more.

For the success of your career as a practitioner and the success of your spa, it’s a smart idea to invest in some high-quality equipment.  Both you and your customers will be happy that you did!

Anti-aging skin care is the most popular way to look and feel younger. The beauty industry sells a plethora of creams, oils, balms and seals to tighten up the skin around your eyes and mouth. While incredibly effective on a normal basis for eliminating wrinkles, some of the more popular anti-aging skin care products contain dangerous chemicals known to cause cancer and other frightening conditions. Look on the back of the bottle of your cleanser or cream on your bathroom counter.

If it contains any of the chemicals:

Sodium laurel sulfate, phthalates, parabens, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, polyethylene glycol, myreth, oleth, laureth, ceteareth, PEG, polyethylene, polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, oxynol, oxybenzone, octylmethoxycinnamate, benzalkonium chloride, steardimonium chloride, cetrimonium bromide, cetrimonium chlorid, triclosan, chlorphenesin, sodium polyacrylate, or sodium carbomer…

… you’re buying something that is either bad for your skin or bad for the environment. What an outrageous list of chemicals. But notice that most popular skin care products include a list this long in their ingredients. However, there is a healthy answer to skin care.

The best way to take care of your skin and fight anti aging is to use a certified organic facial oil or cream. Rest easy knowing you are not endangering your body or the environment by exposing it repeatedly to toxic compounds. Many of the natural components included in natural skin care ingredients lists encourage your skin to repair itself, rather than cover up symptoms.

Some natural and safe compounds for anti-aging remedies include Matrixyl 3000, Syn-Tacks, and Coenzyme Q10. Matrixyl 3000 naturally stimulates your body’s production of collagen and elastin. The elasticity and tone of your skin helps reduce deep wrinkles and roughness. Syn-tacks interacts with protein structures in your skin. Syn-tacks encourages the natural production of Laminin V, Collagen type IV, VII and XVII, and Intergrin, ultimately enhancing cellular communication and health. Coenzyme Q10 also aids in natural collagen and elastin production while blocking free radical and sun damage.

All of these ingredients in natural skin care products focus on encouraging your body to manage its own health, rather than covering up symptoms with a commercially profitable “band-aid” for aging skin. Most aging can be attributed to sun damage and poor care of the skin. Using natural remedies is the safest way to look and feel younger. Visit organic stores like Whole Foods or browse the internet to find the most highly rated products in natural skin care.
