As many of you know some tanning salons have a reputation of being extremely dirty. This is simply unacceptable….all indoor salons should have cleanliness standards that they adhere to.

It just won’t happen here and if it does we want to hear from you at www.tanfx.ca. Our guests comfort is our number one priority and good or bad we’ll take the heat so let us know!
As many of you are aware, there is a growing awareness by the Canadian public about wellness. Simply defined, wellness consists of eating healthier, exercising more, releasing undue stress and enjoying the environment around us. As part of this wellness campaign, there has been a definite shift over the past few years concerning the sun and ultraviolet light.
In the past, there has been an attempt to make the sun the villain. Yet, what so often is forgotten are the positive effects that sunlight plays in everyday life. On a very basic level, life as we know it would not exist without the sun. Beyond that, there are many other reasons to make sure your body receives a responsible amount of sunlight–the most obvious being that it makes you feel good about yourself.
People love the sun. We love the way it makes us feel and we love the way it makes us look. Even with all the negative energy surrounding UV exposure and indoor tanning, indoor tanning is still a reputable way to get your UV intake and the hottest vacation spots still include sunny destinations such as Miami, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego and Hawaii.
If the Canadian public did nothing but listen to the medical community, it would believe that the sun is our implacable enemy. Fortunately, common sense is a major attribute of our society and collectively we realize that life would cease on earth without sunlight.
Are there risks involved in exposure to ultraviolet light? For exposure to ultraviolet light that will not cause sunburn, there is no evidence that simple exposure is damaging.
What does all this mean to you? The truth is that sunlight makes people happy. When people are happy they tend to be more active which allows us to better handle stress and uncontrollable life events. In general, life is better when the sun shines. Healthy eating habits and good nutrition combined with an active lifestyle and moderate exposure to ultraviolet light will mean a happier, healthier you.

If your girlfriend or wife were to indulge in all the beauty rituals recommended to remain attractive and youthful, she would spend more than $11,900 a year. That’s enough for a deposit on a new house or a holiday. Why would anyone spend so much? Well, ask yourself: Would you be happy if your girlfriend’s or wife’s legs had more forestation than the Amazon? What about if she sported a bigger mustache than your uncle or had skin like a sun-dried tomato? If your partner resembled Cousin It, you’d be leering at all the hotter, skinnier, blonder women within a five-mile radius. This explains why beauty regimes are an important part of a woman’s existence and should be accounted for when thinking about your next purchase for her. Think SUN on a budget with some great tips from the pros at Tan FX to keep her skin looking bronzed and healthy! Young-looking, radiant, bronzed skin looks healthier than skin that resembles an unloved leather sandal. When you budget your beauty spending for her, keep in mind that she needs a Suntan and a daily skin-care regime that includes a quality cleanser, a toner and a hydrating moisturizer! Don’t skip out on the goggles and make sure you bundle a great indoor lotion with a matching quality moisturizer right from your Tan FX. You can pick up the tab and watch her glow!
The social desirability of the tan is a modern phenomenon. The concept of having a tan without going outdoors becomes more and more appealing. People enjoy having a tan for innumerable reasons and as lives get busier and busier it becomes far more logical to set a moderate tanning schedule for yourself to enjoy the benefits of sunlight without laying outside for hours on end. Aside from the cosmetic reasons of just having a good tan, people actually enjoy the therapeutic effects of tanning, sunlight exposure can help combat acne fast. If you are suffering with severe or even moderate acne put yourself with the help of your Tan FX certified staff member on a schedule of sun exposure and make sure that you do not combine your exposure with any medications for acne or otherwise that may cause a reaction. The results will astound you!
He may have told Joy Behar and all her View co-hosts Thursday that he’d never heard of Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi – but President Obama has, in fact, used the buxom brunette as a punch line before.
If anyone recalls like I read in May, at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner in D.C., when he made a crack at the expense of the rather “Tan” US House minority leader, John Boehner. While talking about his health care bill, President Obama joked about the tanning tax in the states, and said, “the following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, JWOWW, The Situation and House minority leader John Boehner.” Turns out President Obama has a sense of humour around the tanning tax and we Tan FX Salon owners appreciate the hilarity! Thank you President Obama!
With awards season in full swing and Oscar nominations and awards just around the corner I thought I would post something a little fun this week. As I was flipping through my ritual US Weekly when I came upon the above named section. As Tan FX offers the new Mystic Tan HD as our exclusively Sunless Service I thought it only fitting when I saw how many celebs are using the Mystic to prep for events. A natural brown glow is the outcome of this reasonably priced spray on tan. The spray is performed by a booth and literally takes 60 seconds to have done, with price points and colours variations ranging from $20.00 to $35.00 and lasting 5-7 days the Mystic Tan is a great option for special occasions, weddings, or just a quick shot of colour before you hit your vacation destination! Apparently it is also using as a slimming aid!
From US Weekly posted January 10th, 2011 Celebs were asked what their top trimmers were before an event:
Model/Actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards had this advice to offer:
“Cut out carbs and get a Mystic Tan, and hopefully that will make me drop a few pounds. Or at least look like it”
Using Indoor tanning salons is becoming an increasingly hot debate among Salon Professionals, Health Care Providers, Cancer Care and the Government….
As an insider working closely with government groups to put in place a good set of tanning regulations and understand all sides of the debate here’s what you should know…..
Indoor tanning salons promote a practice we call “smart tanning.” The idea behind it is that by tanning in moderation over time and not burning, you can enjoy the appearance of a tan and also give your skin added protection against the natural sun with the melanin that you have built up indoors. Salons know the intensity of the bulbs in their beds and booths (not all are the same) so be sure to adhere to the tanning schedule they prescribe. Depending on your skin tone and how quickly you tan, it’s smart to begin with 3-5 minutes on your first visit and build from there. Be aware that the skin pressed against the bed is more likely to burn – your calves, backside and shoulder blades will burn before your stomach if you tan lying on your back.
The key is not to burn. Even when tanning for a very short period of time, there is still the risk of a burn – especially if it’s your first trip to the salon or if you are very fair-skinned. If you decide that indoor tanning is the choice for you, be sure to use a professional indoor sun product for your first few visits. (Most salons do not permit you to use your own products, so be prepared to purchase a protective UV block or accelerators.) It may seem like you’re working against yourself, but if you’ve ever felt the agony of an “all over” sunburn, it’s not such a bad idea.
The proper way to use tanning salons to make vitamin D
Dr. Holick one of the top Vitamin D Researchers says the best precaution to take when using tanning salons is to spend less time under the light. One MED (minimum erythema dose) is the amount of time it takes—approximately 5 to 15 minutes depending on the type of bulb used in the tanning bed—for the skin to get pink 24 hours after exposure to UVB.
Tanning salons tend to recommend or allow a per-session UVB exposure equivalent to 75 percent of one MED, which is based on guidelines. However, Holick says that for the sole purposes of generating vitamin D, people can get the equivalent of about 4,000 I.U. of vitamin D from just 25 percent to 30 percent of one MED. (Holick recommends that children get 1,000 I.U. daily, and adults between 2,000 and 3,000 I.U.)
He also recommends that people who use tanning salons wear sunscreen on their face, the most exposed and vulnerable part of the body.
Certain Medication and Indoor Tanning
An important factor to be aware of if you are planning on tanning in a tanning bed or outdoors is that some types of medications increase photosensitivity in our body. This means that our skin develops a tendency to show increased sensitivity when exposed to sun or tanning beds. Some types of medicines can cause a serious sunburn.
Drug-induced photosensitivity manifests itself mostly in the form of prominently visible sunburn. An important point is that not always are we aware that our body has developed this photosensitivity until later when it’s too late and we’re sunburned. The main reason for this condition is the intentional or unintentional application or consumption of skin-affecting products and medication.
The visible signs of such a reaction emerge when the skin comes in contact with ultraviolet radiation. The severity of sunburns is another sign of our skin becoming photosensitive. If you are taking any medication please consult with your Tan FX trained sun care professional to make sure your tanning tims are adjusted accordingly.
