But I need a tan too!

This last Friday Cali Color Spray Tanning went out to Cisco's in Westlake to promote along side the Miss Ca Pageant. I was very excited and wanted to look my best. Of course that includes being tanned.. The whole 2 1/2 weeks prior to Fridays event thought I was just so busy! Which is great, but not for my tan.. I was still tanned, but I like to be 2 shades away from Jersey Shore dark. Anyway Patrick, who normally tans me was up in Santa Barbara and Jessica is still in training. What is a girl to do?!
So that is when I remembered a tan mitt I received with the tan extender inventory.

Amber Sun Norvell sunless mitt. I had never used one, but on my way out of the salon on Friday I grabbed one. With only three hours until the event started I was getting a little panicky! The instructions were easy. Shower. No lotion. Same prep as for a spray tan. Except this is a little mitt you slip your hand into and rub all over your body.

To my surprise it really worked! (I know, why is the owner of a spray tanning salon encouraging the use of a self tanner?) Well, here is the catch, it only lasts until your shower. So as soon as I got back that night and showered the tan was gone, but it was perfect for the little touch up in between my tanning sessions. I think that this would be great to keep for use in between tans. It doesn't go on very dark, but gives a little boost of color! Good Luck!

P.S.
We will be back out at Cisco's in Westlake this Friday and the next! Hope to see you there!

Spray tans don't HAVE to turn out orange!

 There are so many rumors about spray tanning/sunless tanning turning people orange.... and while sure, I suppose it does turn some people orange. It NEVER will, when applied correctly and using the correct type of sunless tanner. The tricky part is that no one brand of solution will work for everyone. For example and like I have said before, Norvell is great for people who already have a little bit of color, but use that on a very fair girl with red hair, and yes, she will turn orange! Some spray tanning salons only carry one brand! That clearly isn't going to make every customer have a perfect tan! Cali Color Spray Tanning has five different brands of solutions and every brand have varying colors!

 *Alcohol based tanning solutions also tend to dry out skin and typically just have a very orange-y undertone to them. They are, in my opinion best to avoid!

 *Also, don't try to go too dark too fast. Gradually over time and after a few spray tanning sessions you will get darker, but going too dark too fast will turn you orange! Additionally, when the tan starts to fade it will be very brutal.

Spray Tanning Parties!

The trendy new event in the airbrushing industry:

Spray Tanning Parties!

Here is what it is:

 A group of girls, five at least, get together at your house, hotel, or office and everyone is tanned in one convenient session! It is a perfect way to get ready for a Special Occasion, Swimsuit Competitions, Pre-prom, Bachelorette parties or even to just put a fun twist on girls night in!

How it works:

A Spray Tan tech will arrive at your location and set up a pop up tent. This is where every girl will stand while they are getting tanned to avoid any over spray. It takes about 15-20 minutes per application.
*Most of the Spray Tanning companies I have talked to about this actually offer a free spray to the host (Including Cali Color Spray Tanning) Talk about a fun way to save money!
Feel free to ask any questions!

Spray Tanning: The safe way to tan

Don't want to put your health at risk with the sun's damaging rays, but don't want to miss out on that gorgeous sun-kissed glow? Consider the safe alternative: Sunless Tanning. Start by understanding how sunless tanning products work.

What is a sunless tan?

 Sunless tanning, most commonly known as Spray Tanning or Airbrush Tanning will give your skin a tanned look without exposing it to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
 The active ingredient in most sunless tanning products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with dead cells in the outermost layer of skin to temporarily darken the skin's appearance. The coloring doesn't wash off, but it gradually fades over 7-10 days.

What is so dangerous about tanning beds?

1- Exposure to tanning beds before age 35 increases the risk of melanoma by 75% but melanoma is not the only risk. Tanning bed users are 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma and 1.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma.

2- Nearly 30 million people use tanning booths a year. 2.3 million of these are teenagers, who are at the  highest risk for skin damage.

3-There is no such thing as a “safe” tan or “base” tan. This does not prevent further skin damage from subsequent sun exposure.

4-Both sunburns and suntans are due to damage to the skin cells that can lead to skin cancer, premature aging and pre-cancerous skin conditions. Skin cancer risk doubles with five or more sunburns in a lifetime, but just one bad sunburn can double the risk of melanoma.

Skin cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis in the United States - more common than all breast, prostate, and lung cancers combined.

                                    Please be safe and do not put yourself at risk.
