How would you like to still look tan at the end of the day without the burn?

A self-tan that looks picture perfect on some areas of the skin and stippled on others is fairly common when our gym lovers want to look tan and stay healthy all at the same time. I mean, haven't we all experienced the tan that wears off in that diamond shape around the inner-elbows, at the tops of the inner arms and between the breasts and that dreaded scaly look on the legs, arms and neck that sets in. A patchy tan is not only caused by the skin becoming dehydrated, or by s

No, baking in the sun is not the smart way to glow this summer—but rather than forego bronzed skin altogether, why not spring for a high-quality spray tan? By shopping around for a highly recommended company, you'll evade the risk of that dreaded dorito look—no one will be the wiser, and you'll avoid tan lines.

SPRAY TANS & TATTOOS A few people have asked me if spray tanning will discolor their tattoos. A spray tan only effects the outer layer of skin and tattoos go quite a bit deeper. While lighter colors on tattoos may darken up just a bit from spray tanning, its only temporary and none of my clients with tattoos have ever mentioned it discoloring their tattoos. UV tanning, on the other hand, has been shown to fade tattoos faster. I always suggest to my clients that if they’re con
