Our Secret Affair with Tanning

How we get our tans is often a secret affair. Sure we may mention going to the tanning bed or getting a spray tan but rarely do we talk about it anymore than that. I was asking myself why this is when we are always up to show off our new hair cuts or shoes and tell where we got it.  Why do our people hide how they got that nature glowing tan?

In 2015 and 2016 Twitter and Facebook reported that images and videos have increased by 26%. This is true and in most of my advertising I always like to post a image for customers to see.  But rarely are my post shared with others are even liked. I have asked myself why for awhile now and have changed the way I post on social media to see about getting people more active in sharing my post. After all, friends listen to other friends but again when it comes to tanning, we are often closed lips about it.

We must find out the reason why our consumers  keep their tanning lives a secret. So to come up with an answer to the problem, I have came up with a list of questions kind of like a survey that we can ask some of our clients. Print them out or just ask random customers a question here and there. Share your thoughts in the comments below or email me if you like. Lets find the cause so we can find an answer.

Ask Your Customers about Their Secret Affair with Tanning.

1. How long have you been tanning?
2. What are some of your concerns about tanning?
3. Do you keep your tanning a secret and if so why?
4. Do you believe the media has given tanning a bad rep?
5. Have you spoken to your doctor about tanning bed use?
6. When was the last time you heard something positive about tanning?
7. Do you think education about tanning is needed more in salons?
8. Do you think your tan is to light or to dark?
9. Do you use tanning lotions in tanning beds and if not why?
10. Have you ever thought about spray tans?
11. What are your concerns with spray tanning?
12. Do you know anything about spray tan products?
13. Where do you get your information about tanning products?
14. Do you have any concerns about your skin and skin cancer?
15. How often do you tan and do you wish you did it more or less?
16. What are some of the things you do to condition your skin?
17. Do you use any type of lotion to help condition your tan?
18. Do you use a product to protect you skin from harmful sun rays?
19. Do you like to come to the salon solo or with a friend?
20. How often do you mention the tanning products you use to friends?
21. Do you ever talk about our salon to your friends?
22. Have you ever taken before and after photos while tanning?

 These question may not just help us solve the issue with our tanning affairs but also may help us understand more of what or clients are looking for in products and information. Lets help them feel more secure with not only there health and looks but find some of the benefits we can offer them.

Encouragement to Educate Your Tanning Clients

Tan Addiction: When working in a salon your bound to have that one client that is a tan addict. It can happen at any age. They never see themselves as dark or beautiful enough or tanning just makes them feel good. As a salon owner you are bound by your industry to try and help this person understand the damages they can be doing to themselves. If you have a client like this now, please don't wait another day and try and speak to them today. Here is a few pointers.

• It can be hard to bring up the subject to your client without the possibility of offending them.  Start off with how long they have been a customer and how much you appropriate their business. 
• Let them know that you and your business wants to always promote healthy tanning habits to your clients because tanning is such a big issue when it comes to skin cancer. A good way to do this is to start an awareness program with your salon and print out an article or two to hand out to all your clients. 
• Tell them how much you yourself love tanning and how tanning can be healthy for them. How Vitamin D is a key factor in our health as wells as our bone structure and that without the right amount of Vitamin D within our system, it can also cause health issues as well as cancerous cells to develop.
• Get them talking about how tanning makes them feel and what are they trying to achieve with results. They may come to help treat issues of pain that you never even knew about. If so, you may like to start an alternative way of treatment with heat for them on the side. There are wellness machines for salons now days or you may like to look into some body wraps (with bandages or foil).
• See if they are coming to get a darker tan. Excessive tanning is something they might not be able to see for themselves. They will never be able to see the changes in there skin tones and you may need to late them know which can be tricky. 
• One thing you can do is start a before and after program for new clients. When they sign up for a month package, have a small camera beside your counter to take a quick picture. Let them know that at the end of the month, you will take another picture so they can see the results of using your beds. It could also be a great promotional advertisement in the future if your clients agree to it. (Do not share their pictures without written consent).
• For someone you feel is becoming a tan addict, offer a free spray tan. A safe alternative to tanning beds that they might pick up on and enjoy. By doing one spray tan a week they might not feel the impulse as much to tan as often on there monthly bed packages. 
• Sunless tanning products are also something you might like to offer. Have several options and give out a sample if need be to encourage them. Many people have a negative view of these items but with all the advancements that have been made to them in the last few years, they are sure to find something to love.
• Teach more about skincare and how to protect themselves from skin aging. There are all types of anti-aging products on the market today and it is never to early to start prevention. Moisturizing is a key component to the aging process so always have good moisturizers on hand. Moisturizing is also very important to a great tan also. 

The best advice we can really give to you is encouragement to educate yourself and your clients. A successful business always is there for its customers and has a deep understanding of pros and cons to any subject. Although these articles main focus was to tan addiction clients, we hope that the pointers we gave can go beyond just them to help all your clients and business. 

Tanorexia: Are You Obsessed With Your Tan?

Tanorexia is not just a cultural word; it's a growing concern for people of all ages. Although many people love tanning, there is a rare syndrome of tan addiction that can be quite serious. In these cases, people are actually obsessed with getting and maintaining a tan.

Like anything else, an unhealthy preoccupation with tanning takes a recreational pastime to an obsession. It has yet to be scientifically determined if there is a physical or psychological drive behind this addiction, but with tanning salons so readily available, tanorexia should not be ignored.

There is a lot of debate over exactly how much tanning is unhealthy for you. Most dermatologists agree that tanning is a sign of skin damage, so any tanning is unnecessary and risky. However, society still projects tanned skin as a sign of health and beauty. Ironically, the more tanned you are, the less beautiful your skin will become as you age. Tanned skin, whether received naturally through the sun's rays or artificially on a tanning bed, can eventually lead to premature wrinkles, blotchy patches, dry skin, and melanoma (skin cancer).

In fact, having healthy skin involves careful monitoring of sun exposure. About 15 to 20 minutes of direct exposure is recommended to get your daily dose of vitamin D. Anything beyond that involves risk and damage to the skin.

So what happens to someone with tanorexia? There are several problems with being obsessed with your tan, not just on a physical level but on a mental level as well. Studies indicate that people who suffer from tanorexia display the same addictive behavior as smokers or people with other addictive habits. Just as in an addiction to plastic surgery, there is no point where the person reaches a goal. It's an elusive point they strive for, with no end in sight.

If you or someone you know suffers from tanorexia, you may want to talk to your dermatologist. When someone is addicted to tanning they will continue to tan no matter how dark they already are, increasing their risk of cancer due to the prolonged exposure to the UV rays. Tanning addicts who use only spray tans are not at a physical risk but they are still dealing with an obsessive compulsive disorder.

Anytime someone is dealing with a compulsive disorder they should seek help from a professional. People that get anxious if they miss a tanning session, or don't actually see how tan their skin really is, or shows other symptoms of irrational thinking about their skin may have tanorexia. Ironically, healthy and beautiful skin is more easily achieved without a tan. But, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not everyone is convinced of that fact.

I Can't Speak Enough About Iwata!

There is nothing like holding a piece of Iwata equipment in your hands. From the first touch, you can feel the power, excellence, and quality of the airbrush. The smooth and cool steel in your hands just screams to you, "I am a Professional".  You feel the confidence within yourself and can't wait to get started. No other equipment makes me feel that confidence and security in my work and you will feel it too.

My favorite is the Iwata Eclipse G6 Spray Gun. This Eclipse Series airbrush has established a new benchmark for excellence in an all-purpose airbrush. A unique “Pistol Grip” airbrush, the Eclipse G6 airbrush looks like a miniature spray gun, but sprays and performs like a large airbrush with its 0.6-mm stainless-steel nozzle. It utilizes a dual-purpose air cap and a fan adjustment valve that lets the airbrush spray a round or oval pattern. The Iwata G6 can be used for many things but for the beauty Industry, it is used for Spray Tanning and Body Art.

The Iwata Eclipse Series also has small airbrushes in the bottle and gravity feeds. With such a range of airbrushes, you can do Spray Tans, Airbrush Cosmetic and Body Art, wonderful Nail Art and even Airbrush Tattoos. There is so much more this high performance airbrushes can do but this is what I use them for and can vouch for there performance.

Another thing I love about Iwata this year is there new and improved compressors! 

The newest is the battery operated Freestyle compressor. The lightweight (1.7lb) Iwata Freestyle Air Battery-Powered Airbrush Compressor is designed for low pressure applications such as bridal and runway make-up, cake decorating, hobby applications and temporary tattoos using thinner mediums. It is ideal for on-set make-up and any low pressure application where mobility is essential.
The included international plugs allow for travel abroad.

Another new option is the Neo Miniature Air Compressor. Compact and Portable, it weighs in at less than a pound. It to is for low pressure compressor using about 100V —> 240V Power Supply and has a 3-Speed Control Button. The Neo Miniature compressor is more cost efficient for smaller businesses.

For someone looking for power, storage, and yet still have it portable, you should look into the Maxx Jet Compressor on wheels.  It has a handle and casing for your supplies. You also have the option of purchasing extra trays for your supplies that will hook right unto the casing that already comes with it. So mo matter how big your business grows, you can always have everything you need at hand. Another Great feature this Maxx Jet compressor is, it can be used for any type of airbrush services. You can hook up multiple airbrushes and use at same time.

New Sunless Tanners for 2015-2016

All new Sunless Tanners for 2015 and 2016!

We love our tans and wish that we can keep them year round, but as we all know our tans fade in the winter months. One of the benefits we have now days in the tanning industry is some really great sunless tanners to get us through on those special occasions we would like our skin to glow.

Sunless Tanners come in many different products like lotions, spray mist, Mousse's, and even creams, and of course there are many brands to choose from.  So how do you know what product is best for you?

First, you need to know your skin type and how best to apply a sunless tanning product to your skin. Most of us has Normal, Oily, or Combination skin. For people who have normal skin types, they can use just about any product they want, but for people who have oily and combination skin, your best results will come from a spray or mousse.

As we all should do before applying a sunless tanner, oily and combination skin, want to always prep before a tan. Any type of exfoliate that is not oil base will be what you need. It can be a sugar or salt base scrub but just make sure it has no type of oil in it. Moisturizers within the scrub are okay because you do want your skin to be well hydrated for the tan to take better. You can use a moisturizing lotion the day before you apply your sunless tanner for extra care.  Always make sure your skin is fresh and clean just before your apply a sunless tanner.

Sunless Tanning Lotions can be a little thick and heavy to apply.  Many people do not like this as much and are opting for sprays and mouses which go on more even. If you do decide to use a lotion, it is best to apply with a application glove made for sunless tanners. This will help apply more even and will keep your hands from staining with the tanner. If you do not want to purchase an application mitt, then look at your nearest retail store for some type of glove to apply.  You will want something that will not absorb the lotion but keep it on the mitt. Something like makeup and cosmetic sponges but larger will work best.

A Sunless Tanning Mousse is also best to apply with a mitt. Even thought this product is not as thick, by using a mitt it will apply more even. Apply it the same way you would a lotion or cream and always make sure you are good and dry before putting cloths back on.

With a Sunless Tanner Spray or Mist, these forms are more liquid base. When Applying this type of product, I find it best to apply by section. I usually will start with my legs and spray them all the way up, front and back and let them dry for a few before moving on. I then apply to my arms one at a time and let each arm dry before the other. Then I move to the body front and then back. It is best to have someone apply to the back for you but if you has no one to help, I always lean forward and spray over the body, letting the mist fall to the back area. It takes a little practice but you will get there after a few tries.

As for choosing a product, that is always up to you to decide. I recommend you try at least three different brands before settling on just one. When you find what works best for you, keep with it. Tanning products always works different for people, and just because something works great for a friend doesn't mean it will for you. If your a beginner look at the color and feel of the sunless tanner and not your mistakes.  You will get better with your next application and so on. If the color is what you desire, then try other products within that brand to find the absolute best for you. Once you have found your product, you are going to love sunless tanning.

10 Tips to Abolish Raccoon Eyes

Research shows that only half of indoor tanners wear protective eye-wear during a session. These tanners understand that they may be damaging their vision, but they still don't wear eye protection. When asked why they don't wear it, they say, "I don't want to get raccoon eyes!" 

Tanners are concerned about developing unsightly tan lines around their eyes- what can you tell them?

1. Wash your face! Yes, the No.1 cause of dreaded "raccoon eye" tan lines is SPF, not goggles! Most women's facial moisturizers have SPF- by the time you've applied moisturizers, eye cream, dark circle cover-up, foundation and eye shadow, you've potentially applied six layers of SPF! This also applies to the guys, as most men's facial care products also contain SPF. To develop a much more even tan, was your face before your session.
2. Carefully apply your bronzing lotions. A lot of tanning lotions contain bronzers; if you don't apply that product around your eyes carefully, you're painting giant raccoon eyes on yourself!
3. Adjust your eye protection.  If you adjust the position of your eye-wear a bit during your tanning session, you'll minimize tan lines.
4. Switch eye protection. Many tanners like to alternate between a couple of different eye-wear types. This is just like changing swimsuits to minimize strap marks.
5. Find the style that works for you. Everyone's eyes are a different size and shape, so find a product that fits you best. Lots of new eye protection products have come to market in the last couple of years- check out all the options.
6. Try Adjustable eye protection. Disposable eye protection allows custom fitting you simply shape the cone to fit your eye. Adjustable eye protection is perfect for people with long lashes or those wanting to minimize tan lines, as there is no nose bridge or elastic strings.
7. Have you been wearing sunglasses? If you've been wearing sunglasses outside (which we highly recommend), you've created your own large raccoon eyes. The skin tone around your eyes is going to be lighter- your sunglasses were also blocking your tan.
8. Eyelids don't tan well, even unprotected. The eyelids skin is one of those areas that don't contain much melanin, just like the palms of your hands, the tops of your feet and the inner forearm... eyelids often don't tan well.
9. There area number of touch-up products available. If you do have a bit of a raccoon eye, or white crease on your throat, shoulder blade pressure points that won't tan or the dreaded "smiley lines" at the bottom of your bottom, there are many sunless tanning products designed to touch up these areas and blend everything nicely. We like the touch-up pens... so easy to use.
10. All FDA - compliant eye protection is a complete UV block, so you may have some tan lines. If you wear eye protection when you tan, the raccoon eyes will improve with time... but if you don't wear it, your vision won't!

Making a Comback! The Fascination 700 Spray Tan Systems.

These small spray tan units were a big hit of ours in 2014 but there was a few problems that needing tweaking. Recommendations were made for changes and they were fulfilled and now they are back for sale on our websites.

With there low cost they are perfect for smaller salon uses and or at home spray tanning. We hope you will consider the new Fascination 700 to meet your spray tan needs this year if your looking to buy. Buy now if you like! For the Black Fascination Unit and for the Pink Fascination Spray Tan Unit.

More colors coming soon!

The Fascination 700 Series represents a new standard in elegance, beauty and function in a spray tanning instrument. The 700 is a rare combination of beauty on the outside and brawn on the inside.

Before "popping the hood" to reveal the robust tanning functionality that lies beneath, consider the bold contours and color accents that make this machine worthy of a spot in the most upscale salon setting. The elegant handle is organically formed into the body of the machine. The handle inset further lies within another design element - the sweeping concave, elliptical contour that is the Fascination's signature design statement. The elliptical motif appears again in the bold chrome trim surrounding the hose outlet. Chrome accents also trim the control panel. The unit sits gracefully and solidly upon four brief legs that have rubber inserts -- to protect against marring or scratching surfaces the unit rests upon.

The instrument control panel has three controls for power, auxiliary heat and speed. The speed setting toggles between three air speeds. Led lights thoughtfully display the user selections for each of the controls. The controls, led lights and the Fascination model graphic sit atop a black background surrounded by chrome trim. The Fascination feminine model strikes a retro pose in an homage to classical beauty.

What lies beneath all this beauty -- a powerful turbine motor tuned to deliver reliability and the correct air flow for spray tanning. For quiet operation, the turbine is contained within its own sound dampening housing enclosure. This enclosure is encased within the Fascination outer shell, together combining to provide double redundancy sound baffling. Air intake occurs at the rear of the unit -- to minimize intake of spray tanning over spray -- which can accumulate and compromise your motor. The air intake is protected by double redundant washable filters - an outer filter contained in a convenient snap out cover and an inner filter that is exposed once the outer cover is removed.

The Fascination Pro Spray Gun is a second generation design, incorporating many design and functional refinements. The body of the gun is rendered in the same color as the turbine unit and has the same chrome accents and refined contours. The design is lightweight and fits comfortably in smaller hands. Internally, a metal needle and nozzle is used rather than plastic -- plastic needles are used in designs which copy this one. A numbered, 8 setting selection dial precisely controls the amount of fluid flow. The solution cup housing has indicator marks to display the fill level of the cup. The air cap allows selection of horizontal or vertical fan spray patterns.

Happy B-day to...ME!!!

I just realized after writing a short Biography I have been in the tanning industry for 15 years now. Here is a little bit about myself and how I got started.

"My name is Gina Manis and I was introduced to spray tans in 2000.  At the time I was working in a tanning bed salon and my boss bought an airbrush machine. I believe back then spray tans were done mainly by airbrush and not hvlp turbines. There wasn't much information back then but I came to love it and saw its value. In 2003 the salon closed and I bought the machine from my boss. I kept her clientele and went to their homes to do spray tans. I started trying different products and I even bought a hvlp. But still even to this day, I love airbrush tanning equipment more. In 2006, I had my second child and wanted to be home more so I started looking for work online. I decided to start selling the products I loved and the equipment for spray tanning since I knew so much about all types of items by then.  By 2008 I had my first online store and fell in love with my work all over again.  I have loved helping others get their businesses started ever since."

Are Spray Tans Healthy?

Some tips about spray tan products and how to keep healthy during your next spray tan!

For those of us who enjoy the benefits of tanning, UV rays have always been their worst enemy. Tanning beds and even taking in the warm sun have revealed many health impacts from sunburning to skin cancer – Basically any browning of the skin is a sign of damage! So what about spray tanning?
When I first tried spray tanning I was hooked instantly – No side effects, don’t have to lay out for hours, and it lasts for a a couple weeks with good moisturization. We’ve all been taught that the sun and other UV rays are a short term solution, but what can spray tanning do to your health? Here are some quick facts you may want to know to help guide your next spray tan:

1. The main ingredient in most sunless spray tans is DHA
   1. DHA has been around since the early 70’s in most external beauty products. Although not harmful externally, when ingested DHA has shown to have some pretty adverse effects. To sum it up, make sure that your next spray tan is organic and approved by the FDA.

1. Some organic spray tanning solutions have been evaluated and approved by the FDA
   1. This means that you can legitimately swallow the product without any side effects – Well besides maybe needing a glass of water after!

1. Organic spray tans last just as long as regular spray tans
   1. Organic solutions have been around for a while now and have given manufacturers plenty of chances to perfect their non-harmful solutions. You can expect the same 10-14 day tan – Without the risks!

Health risks are generally in anything we eat or do. Organic solutions help to mitigate these risks by providing a product that you can swallow with little impact. Still worried, you can still go down and buy a local face mask, nose filters, or small goggles to prevent any tanning solution from getting past your skin.

My name is Rebecca Nottingham and I’ve been doing organic based spray tans for since 2007. I practically walked into the world of spray tanning when a family friend offered to teach me her techniques and help get my business started. She taught me that it’s more than spray tanning – It’s giving my clients the confidence to feel their best! I pride myself on researching new, innovative spray techniques as well as providing my clients 100% organic, non-harmful tanning solutions.

EZ Flow – Flexible pick-up tube

The only spray tanning gun available with a flexible latex free pick up tube which helps to maintain continuity during spraying.
When the gun is tilted the weighted tube bends to ensure the end stays immersed in fluid avoiding spluttering and inconsistent results

EZ spray for smooth performance

EZ Clean Filtration

One important element of a turbine system, and often the most over looked, is the filter.
This helps prevent solution and debris from entering the motor compartment through the air intake. Most systems either have no filter, or are almost impossible to clean or change. The MaxiMist™ reusable filter is located conveniently, for easy visual checking and user removal and cleaning.
It’s easy to get to, and clean. And we include a second spare replacement filter with your order.

Base Weight

The Turbine powerhouse weights in at less than 5lbs. This powerhouse combines portability and power in one compact Turbo package. Great for the Mobile technician on the go.

---

Volume Level

All turbine based systems sound like vacuum cleaners, this is undisputed, and is the nature of this type of device. However, this unit runs quieter than any other turbine based unit in its category. Unlike other “screamers” on the market, you can speak without yelling while the unit is running.

Our Tip & Needle setup

No other system in this class has the atomization properties of this setup. A 0.5 mm tip and needle sizing for efficient solution utilization with a soft psi spray tip pressure. The ideal finish level for complete whole body spraying for face, body, hands and feet. With this gun, you will not need a separate face and body gun.
The spray gun continually provides constant out going air flow during the entire solution application, facilitating the skin drying process as you spray. When the spray gun trigger is completely released, the unit blows a continuous air flow only, for a soft “blow dry” feature. Or if you prefer, simply detach the gun from the air hose. Now you are equipped with a concentrated high speed air current for fast drying.
