How to Use Self Tanner to Contour

Posted on September 12, 2016 by admin

Contouring is not only an effective method for shaping and accentuating our best facial features, it’s recently gained widespread popularity for necks, collarbones, bust lines, and more. But why spend countless hours re-applying your contour, and wasting hundreds of dollars on replacement bronzers, when there is a better way? There is a long hidden secret used by celebrities to achieve a semi-permanent, lustrous contour, and it has always been around. That secret is self-tanner! Continue reading to learn how you can contour your arms, abs, legs, and buttocks with a self-tanner of your choice.

Contouring With Self Tanner

Broad Ripple Tanning Salon 317-257-8262

Before you start contouring with self-tanners, practice with bronzer to gauge where and how much you want to contour. Do not be afraid of the semi-permanency of self-tanning products. As long as you only apply a little bit at a time, in thin layers, you should not have a problem attaining the desired affect you’re after. And if you do contour incorrectly, a thin layer of self-tanner will fade in a few days after a few showers. With practice, you can get very precise and artistic with your contouring, and feel confident increasing your contouring capacity. You will be able to sculpt your arms, stomach, legs, and rear without months of intense exercise and dieting! All you need is a medium-sized makeup brush or cotton ball, and some quality self-tanning lotion.

Here’s a guide for getting started:

Contouring Arms

To find the proper area to contour on your arms, start by facing a mirror and pointing your index finger straight down to the floor. This will emphasis your tri-cep muscles on the back of your arms. This is where you can make your arms looked more toned with self-tanner! Using a medium-sized make-up brush, apply your self-tanner in thin layers to the crease directly under your tri-cep bulge. Next, look in the mirror again and flex your biceps (raise elbows and clinch fists). Trace under the area of muscle that dips in the middle of your bicep (half-moon shape), with thin layers of self-tanner. Do this for both arms to make them appear taught and toned.

Contouring Abs

Contouring abs is a bit more complicated since you don’t want to use lines that are too thick or too thin. Find the right width by starting small, and adding on as you go. Start by dipping your makeup brush in your self-tanner, and then trace the line from the middle of your cleavage down to your belly button. Next, draw 2 half ovals on each side of your belly button, starting at the rib cage and ending at your hip bones. Repeat this step a few times, while slightly overlapping the lines each time, to achieve an hourglass appearance.

Contouring Buttocks

Use the same techniques mentioned above, but instead, trace half-ovals directly on the lower, outer portion of your cheeks. Keep the middle and upper areas of your derriere light to achieve the illusion of a tighter rear end. But be sure not to cover too much of your buttocks by making the half ovals too thick. You only need a slight contour to get the desired illusion in this area.

Contouring Legs

Using your makeup brush, trace along the INNER sides of your legs where the muscle naturally occurs. Simply stand up straight, and then lift your leg in front of you. You will see your leg’s natural inner muscle line along the insides. Within these natural lines, apply a thin layer of self-tanner to make your legs appear more toned. Be sure to stay within the natural muscle lines. Next, point your leg downward and flex to reveal the front muscle called your quadriceps. Trace along the sides of your natural quad lines, starting from the bottom of your derriere and ending right above knee. But wait, you’re not done! Look to your lower legs and trace the outside of your calf muscle, starting just below your ankles and ending right below the knee cap.

Deciding Between Stand-Up and Lay-Down Tanning Beds

Posted on July 11, 2016 by admin

Indianapolis Tanning Salon 317-257-8262

When you visit your neighborhood tanning salon, you are given a wide selection of options for tanning. You can choose the sunless route and opt for an airbrushed spray tan, or you can choose between a stand-up or lay-down tanning bed. For many people, beds are the preferred choice since they have been around for so long, but with the new innovative tanning bed technologies available today, many salons are adding stand-up versions as well.

With this new tanning option, many people are interested but confused about the difference between standup and laydown tanning booths. If you are one of these people, continue reading and decide for yourself which bed meets your tanning preferences.

Tanning Booth Preferences

Overall, both versions of tanning beds are very effective and comfortable, making the choice entirely up to personal preference. In all cases, it is important to discuss your tanning goals with your salon’s tanning consultant to ensure you always tan safely. Here are the major differences and similarities between stand-up tanning beds and lay-down tanning beds:

Lay-Down Booths

Lay-down tanning booths are very popular because they are known for relaxation. You can simply lay, rest, and tan in a matter of minutes. But because you are laying on glass, pressure points are created between the skin and the bed, which prevents the UV-rays from fully soaking into the skin. This can cause tanning creases and lighter areas under the arms, on the shoulder blades, above and below the buttocks, and more. To avoid this in a laydown bed, you need to adjust your position periodically, which is easier in a stand up booth.

Stand-Up Tanning Beds

Standup Tanning Bed 317-257-8262

Stand-up booths offer more space, which allows tanners to move around easier. Inside the booth, you can raise your arms, lower your arms, bend your legs, lean, turn your head, and so forth. The bulbs are often stronger, delivering a faster tan. But because of the intensity of the bulbs, time limits for stand-up beds are generally lower than laydown versions. This makes it a great choice for those who are uncomfortable staying in a tanning bed for too long. The lamps used on the inside of standup beds are made with specialized reflectors that help spread the light completely around the chamber. This of course also helps to tan more evenly, preventing those tell-tale tanning bed creases and missed areas, like on the shoulder blades, under the arms, on the lower back, and under the buttocks.

Many people also like standup beds because they feel better about not having to touch the glass for hygiene purposes (even though there is never a need for concern since tanning salon staff keeps beds perfectly sanitized at all times!). The downsides to standup beds mostly have to do with comfort. Some people find it tiresome to stand the whole time, and prefer to lay down and relax. Also, standup beds require the use of eye goggles with nose adhesive so they stay on your face while you tan. It can sometimes be obnoxious keeping them in place when you are standing up.

Learn the Facts about Tanning While Pregnant

Posted on March 18, 2016 by admin

If you are an expecting mother, or plan to be, you might be researching all about protecting yourself while you’re carrying your baby. One common pregnancy concern, and misconception, has to do with tanning. Moms want to know if sun tanning, whether natural or sunless, is harmful to their unborn child. This is an understandable inquiry, and a common one among moms-to-be. After all, a mother can never be too sure.

So if you are a lover of sun and also expecting, continue reading to brush up on the real facts surrounding pregnancy and tanning.

Pregnancy and Sun Tanning

Here’s the facts: tanning while pregnant is just as safe as being out in the natural sun. Ultraviolet light, the source that makes our skin tan, is not strong enough to reach inside a mother’s womb. This is true for tanning beds, tanning booths, and natural sun bathing.

Normally, there is no serious or immediate risk to an unborn fetus in terms of UV tanning, however, there are rare exceptions depending on manufacturer malfunctions, medical conditions, excessive tanning, medication use, and more. In most cases, the only outcome from tanning while pregnant is a tan mommy-to-be!

Tips for Tanning Pregnant

When you are pregnant, there are some tips that might make tanning easier and safer for you. All women are different, and show and grow at different rates. So depending on fast your tummy grows, you may or may not be able to tan in your regular bed. In early trimesters of pregnancy, a mother can still tan comfortably and safely in a lay-down bed.

But once a mommy’s well beyond the second trimester, a lay down tanning bed is not the best option. This is because laying down in a tanning bed tends to raise body heat and restrict blood flow. Instead, expectant mothers should use stand-up tanning booths. This will provide more comfort, mobility, and safety.

How Does Our Skin Tan?

Posted on January 7, 2016 by admin

Your body’s natural ability to change color and tan is nothing more than a biological defense mechanism to protect your skin against the sunlight’s (or tanning lamps) ultraviolet radiation. When our skin darkens from sun exposure, it’s attempting to reduce the amount of UV penetration into our skin cells. This helps prevent sun burn, skin cancer, RNA damage, DNA damage, and more.

Although our skin has this built-in defense system against UV radiation, it is strongly encouraged to use tanning products, moisturizers, and skin care treatments after tanning to further protect your skin against ultraviolet damage. Continue reading to learn the process in which skin tans, and what makes our bodies lose our tan after some time.

Melanocytes and Melanin

Your body goes through a process called melanogenesis to darken the skin. During melanogenesis, cells called melanocytes produce a pigment called melanin, which makes the skin change color under UV exposure. These specialized cells make two different kinds of melanin: pheomelanin and eumelanin. Pheomelanin renders the skin red, such as a sun burn, whereas eumelanin renders the skin a dark brown color. These pigments protect your skin by absorbing UV solar radiation upon exposure. It is also the body’s means to repair any skin damage that has already taken place. The darker you get, the more your body is trying to repair and protect your skin.

Fading Tans

Melanogenesis is not a process that shows immediate results. Generally, the skin will turn pink or red during initial exposure, and then change to a darker tan or brown color several hours later. The more sun exposure, the more melanin your body will continue to produce in order to repair and protect your skin. This is why we often look darker one or two days after enjoying the sun (or tanning bed). But once sun exposure begins to die down, your growing skin cells push the darkened skin upward, and your tan begins to fade as dead skin is exfoliated more and more.

Safe Tanning

It is important to learn the proper tanning course for your skin type before hitting the sun too hard. There are several tanning lotions, moisturizers, and skin care products that not only enhance and extend your tan, but also enrich and protect your skin year-round. Talk to your local tanning consultant for customized tanning advice for your unique skin tone and type.
