Know Your Skin

As your body’s largest organ, your skin requires specific care. Healthy, moist skin will tan quicker, get darker and keep its tanned appearance longer because it does not exfoliate as quickly when properly moisturized.

Indoor tanning lotions can help stimulate the production of melanin, the skin’s dark biological pigment. Dark-skinned people have more melanin than light-skinned people. Melanin also acts as a sunscreen and protects the skin from ultraviolet light and skin damage from the sun. Your skin cells increase their production of melanin in response to sun exposure. Freckles, which occur in people of all races, are small, concentrated areas of increased melanin production.

Formulas that fit your skin type
At Ibiza Tan, we want to help you get the richest tan possible. So we’ll help you determine your skin type and then recommend the best tanning products.

In 1975, Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School, developed a classification system for skin typing that’s based upon your skin color, and burning and tanning responses to sunlight exposure. Basically a low number means a higher risk for burning.

The federal government regulates indoor tanning in the United States and Canada. Exposure times for every tanning session are set by a schedule that is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada. Designed to minimize the risk of sunburn, these schedules take into account your skin type, how long you’ve been tanning and the intensity of the equipment. Exposure times are increased gradually to minimize the possibility of burning.

Skin Care

Tanning is about more than just looking good. It’s also about the satisfaction of knowing you’re taking good care of your skin. From moisturizers to self-tanners, our premium tanning lotions and sunless tanning products are a tan’s best friend, giving you the power to treat your skin right and tan in a controlled environment.

Healthy skin is the foundation of a successful dark tan. Indoor tanning products are designed to provide critical moisture to skin before and after tanning. Dry skin flakes peel away your tan layer by layer, so the healthier your skin, the longer you keep a tan.

Your skin is designed to tan as a natural body function. A tan is the body’s natural protection against sunburn.

The professional indoor tanning industry promotes and teaches what is referred to as “The Golden Rule of Smart Tanning”: Don’t ever sunburn.1 Indoor tanning is an intelligent way to minimize the risk of sunburn while maximizing the enjoyment and benefit of having a tan.

At Tantaztic Tan Center, our Smart Tan ™ -certified employees will teach you how your skin type reacts to sunlight; how to tan in a controlled environment, avoiding sunburn; and how to match proper exposure times and products to your individual skin type.

Skin That Glows

Good skin care can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. Here are some simple skin care habits that will help protect your skin and keep it healthy and glowing.

• Protect yourself from the sun. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during high-intensity hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., wear protective clothing and use sunscreen.

• Don’t smoke. Smoking can accelerate the normal aging process of your skin, contributing to wrinkles; it causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layer of your skin, decreasing blood flow and depriving the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.

• Wash your skin gently. Cleansing is an essential part of caring for your skin. Warm water is preferable to hot, which removes the natural oils from your skin. Choose mild soaps and pat your skin dry, so that some moisture remains on your skin, then moisturize immediately.

• Moisturize regularly. Moisturizers help maintain your skin’s natural moisture levels. They work by providing a seal over your skin – to keep water from escaping, or by slowly releasing water into your skin. The moisturizer that’s right for you depends upon your particular skin type and your age.
