Sun Tanning

Fox Valley Tanning offers the best spray tanning in Naperville. They have two VersaSpa spray booths and a Mystic HD spray booth. The also do custom airbrush tanning by appointment.

The variations of skin color are a result of the amount of melanin that is produced and how it is distributed. this is obvious when you are exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. In order to protect your skin, melanocytes produce more melanin and, voila!, you've got a tan.

the key to tanning is to avoid over-exposure. It is easy to avoid over exposure when tanning indoors because you know the prescise uva and uvb and time exposed.

UVB is responsible for natural Vitamin D production in the body, and much much more intense than UVA. So limit your time.

Well I'm brown (black and white) so I already have a tan. I'm assuming you are white though. The sun is the only answer. Remember don't stay in the sun too long especially if you're white or a half white half Hispanic girl!

Tan comes off a bit uneven particularly on your legs, If you get a reaction it will come on in the first few hours & go once you have showered. I suspect you didn't exfoliate well enough before applying &/or wore a moisturiser (which can act as barrier).

If you truly are allergic to fake tan it will be the Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) in the tan, this is in all fake tans.

I'm working right now. It's great if you like to have a lot of free time for home work and surfing the web.

yes

Technically it is possible, however, the salon that you go to probably will not let you in the booth naked for sanitary reasons. But if you have a home tanning booth I'm sure you can.

The reason why self-tanning products have a short duration is because most self-tanning products contain the active ingredient DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which creates a natural sun glow by chemically reacting with the amino acids in the dead layer (the stratum corneum) of the skin's epidermis. This means that the duration of the sunless tan is short because the stratum corneum is coincidently shedding meaning the tan cannot last more than 28 days (for young people). This is also the reason why it can become patchy as we are always shedding skin (Desquamation).

SPF or sun protection factor is the measure of the amount of time taken by the sun light or more specifically the ultra violet rays to cause irradiation to the skin which is commonly known as sun burn on the protected skin. For example, if for your normal skin the time taken for irradiation is 30 minutes and after applying the cream the duration is 300 minutes, then the sun protection factor for that particular product is 300 divided by 30, that is SPF 10. Normally the time taken for irradiation by normal skin ranges from 20 to 30 minutes and so you can easily find how much SPF you need in your day cream by calculating the number of minutes you are exposed to the sun. With increased value of SPF, the number of minutes of protection increases. The SPF requirement increases with increasing time of exposure to the sun.

This is a very popular question and I'll explain why it's better to apply indoor tanning lotions before tanning. Most indoor tanning lotions have some type of moisturizer in them. Moisturizers help protect your skin because they keep moisture inside your skin that would generally be lost due to the excessive heat inside the tanning bed. Applying lotions before entering the tanning bed at least 15 minutes before tanning allows those moisturizers and vitamins like vitamin E enough time to soak into your skin. If you apply tanning lotion right before entering the tanning bed your skin may not have enough time to soak up all of the moisturizers and UV protection before tanning which can have adverse effects on your skin.

Yes they do :)

that's too easy

None. They're all carcinogens.

Yes-- if the sun is hidden behind the clouds it is said to be easier to get a tan.

You don't necessarily HAVE to but it dries out your skin quickly, lessens your ability to tan and probably even more unhealthy for your skin. Also, I've found if you don't use lotion you kind of stick to the bed and it's very uncomfortable.

Tanning beds use UV light to tan you, and dentists use UV light to whiten your teeth. So tanning beds help whiten your teeth, but whitening your teeth also breaks down the enamel. So yes, tanning beds are bad for your teeth, but so are whitening strips.

both the amount and darkness of melanin increase upon UV exposure which gives the skin a tanned appearance. melanin reaction helps protects the body against further UV radiation and prevents damage to DNA.

Regular lotions will help your skin in the matter of keeping it moisturized, which is vital to keep your skin healthy while tanning. However, most tanning salons do not allow anything on the skin but tanning lotions as regular lotions can damage the plates on the tanning beds. My advice to you would be to get a tanning lotion, which will have everything you need to get a deep and dark tan while keeping your skin as damage-free as possible and not ruining the tanning beds.

your nails will grow at the same rate if you cut them but if you want to make them longer you can put your nails in chlorine for 5 minutes a day to make them longer.

don't go out to the sun for 5 or 6 days at least after it get cured have a nice cold water(take a shower) after that don't dry yourself be wet wear a bra and undies and sleep for 2 hours then you'll be good

The cost of tanning all depends on a couple of factors. 1. The indoor tanning salon that you plan on going to. All tanning salons charge different prices for tanning minutes or usage. Most salons have days of the week that are half off or $5 for a one time tan. Check out your local salons for the best prices. Also note that all tanning beds are different and have different levels of bulbs that effect your skin differently. 2. The cost of the tanning lotion that you plan to use. Bronzers can cost more than accelerators because of the ingredients used in the tanning lotions. 3. How long do you plan on tanning? If you plan on tanning on a regular basis it might be cheaper to buy a packaged plan that allows you to use tanning minutes. Buying a large bulk of minutes reduces your cost per tan. Tanning bed levels may effect the usage of your minutes as well. Higher bed levels usually spend more of your minutes or money because they are more expensive for the tanning salon to run.

You can get a tan at night, but only if you use a tanning booth or sun lamp.

No. Missing your period means youre pregnant which is caused from sex.

In countries where traditionally poor people work outside, in the fields, having a lighter skin tone implies that you are rich enough not to have to work(outside). And of course people like to look like they're rich.
