There are different ways you can ensure you are tanning SMART when you are outside or indoors. Here are 10 tips to help ensure you’re tan SMART:
1 ) Practice Moderate UV exposure – do not overexpose
2 ) Expose your skin to UV light slowly and build your time gradually – there’s no rush!
3 ) ALWAYS use 100% UV blocking eye protection and always have your own personal eyewear
4 ) ALWAYS protect your skin with tanning products indoors & sunscreens outdoors
5 ) Do not expose your skin to UV light more than one time within a 48 hour period – that includes tanning outside than tanning inside (or vice versa)
6 ) Know your skin type and follow the recommended tanning times for your skin type to find your skin type go to knowyourskintype.com and fill out the Tan FX skin typing form at your first visit.
7 ) Build a base tan before trips or before the summer to prepare your skin for the increased exposure to UV light
8 ) Avoid high UVB index during the summer months (or on vacation). If you have to be outside, wear a hat and long sleeves if possible during peak UV hours.
9 ) Take a minimum of 24-48 hours off between your tanning sessions (no matter how long your session)
10 ) NEVER burn…it’s the number one rule of smart tanning.

What is Mystic Tanning?
In a nutshell it is a spray tan that creates colour instantly!
Mystic Tanning is a sunless tanning option that is done in an inviting booth which is private for only you. You can customize your tan by choosing between 4 natural colour options and you can see results as soon as the session is done.
The warming system inside the booth creates a comfortable environment, warms the skin and allows for maximum absorption. The warm air also speeds up the drying process so there is no waiting after your spray is finished.
Mystic also offers prestigious take home products to keep your glow lasting longer.
Treat yourself to an instant makeover that will leave your skin with a beautiful natural glow.
Go Mystic at Tan FX!

People often ask why they should tan with an indoor tanning lotion. Tanning with an indoor lotion is a must because tanning lotions help stimulate melanin, what is produced to darken the skin’s pigment in order to produce a tan. Indoor tanning lotions help you achieve a tan faster and they care for your skin during the tanning process.
Indoor tanning lotions moisturize your skin, which will extend the life of your tan, reduce moisture loss, help with loss of collagen/elasticity and help you achieve a 30-50% darker tan.
Tan FX offers the top indoor tanning lotions and has a wide variety of lotions for you to choose from; products by Australian Gold, Designer Skin, Swedish Beauty and California Tan which are the industry leaders in indoor tanning products. The staff at Tan FX are more than happy to assist you in selecting a product that will suit your needs.

Putting up festive lights, holiday greeting cards, decorating, putting up the tree, shopping, wrapping, entertaining, concerts, gatherings, baking, cooking, planning, creating special lasting memories…
Stress much?!

At Tan FX we care about you and your safety; that is why eye protection is a must!
Exposure without the proper eye protection can cause serious damage such as:
Corneal Burns
Retinal Burns
Cataracts
Night Blindness
Pink Eye
Closing your eyes or putting a towel over your eyes will not protect your eyes properly! Tan FX salons will not allow our customers to tan unless they have the proper eyewear with them.

The staff at Tan FX is more than happy to assist you in finding protective eyewear that suits your needs.
Tan smart and bring along your protective eyewear to each and every session!
Winter is upon us and for some that means the “winter blues”. For others it may mean a more serious matter, Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD.
What is SAD?
SAD is episodes of depression that occur at certain times of the year, mainly winter due to the lack of light and lack of vitamin D.
Symptoms very from person to person but can consist of:
Changes in appetite; cravings for sweet starchy food
Weight Gain
Decreased energy
Fatigue
Tendency to oversleep
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Avoidance of social situations
Feelings of anxiety and despair
Exposure to UV light may help control SAD. The UV light exposure stimulates the brain and it responds by creating dopamine and serotonin, the feel good chemicals and vitamin D.
Maintaining proper vitamin D blood levels has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), colds, flu, and other health conditions.
