Ranked #9,240 in Fashion & Beauty, #146,479 overall

Let's talk airbrush tanning!

This lens is about news, facts-versus fiction, health topics related to skin and sun and many other interesting facts related to sunless tanning. The National Cancer Institute warns against any type of tanning where the skin comes in contact with harmful UVA/UVB rays, but especially artificial tanning done in tanning beds. In fact, the NCI notes that women who use a tanning bed only once per month put themselves at a 55 percent higher risk of contraction malignant melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. If you love the bronzed look of a tan, but aren't willing to sacrifice your health, airbrush tanning may be just what the doctor ordered. The spray tan solution is organic and derived from sugar cane or beets. It is applied to the top layer skin, therefore avoiding any deep penetration. It is safe, easy and with the latest scientific advances allows you to achieve a natural bronzed without the smell or orange hue of sunless tanning creams from the 80's. If you're considering an airbrush tan, understanding how it works can help you feel more comfortable with the procedure.

Healthy Lifestyle Tips For Summer

Summer is a great time for you to turn over a new leaf. In fact, by making small changes to your daily routine, you cultivate healthy habits that will last you a lifetime. For example, say that your goal is to drink more water throughout the day. How do you do just that? You start by replacing sugary soft drinks and calorie-ladden energy drinks and smoothies with something cool, refreshing, and good for you--water. You change things up by adding pieces of fresh fruit to your glass of sparkling H2O. You buy a new water bottle and carry it with you wherever you go. You make it a point not to order other types of beverages when you go out to eat. You adopt a new attitude towards healthy living and it shows. You look and feel phenomenal.
Here are a few tips you might want to incorporate into your own active lifestyle:

Ditch the tanning bed and opt for airbrush tanning instead. You can still maintain a gorgeous summer glow without putting yourself directly into contact with harmful UV rays.

Experiment with seasonal fruits and vegetables. Visit your local farmer's market or organic produce store and pick up a colorful assortment of fruits and vegetables to experiment with.

Surround yourself with friends and family members. Having a built-in support team makes it easier to live a happier, healthier, more active lifestyle.

By slightly altering your approach to your goals, you accomplish more in less time. You can apply this new way of thinking to anything you set out to do. From remembering to wear sunscreen when spending time outdoors to making it a point to get seven to nine sound hours of sleep each night, you can beat stress and remain in optimal health this summer.

Summer Brides, Get Beautiful Skin with Organic Airbrush Tanning

Ladies, listen up. It doesn't do you one bit of good to spend all that money on the perfect dress, hairstylist, make-up artist, and photographer for your wedding and forget about your skin. If you want to put your best face forward on your big day, considering giving yourself a healthy glow. Airbrush tanning is fast, easy, and affordable. There will be plenty of photo opportunities at your ceremony and reception. That's why we can't stress how important it is to have flawless skin. Here's a few things that can help you get "picture perfect" for your wedding day:

1. Make cleansing part of your routine. Gently remove oil, dirt, and bacteria with a mild moisturizing soap or cleansing product.
2. Exfoliate dry skin by dry brushing. Use a natural bristle brush or loofah to remove dead cells and stimulate your lymphatic and circulatory systems.
3. Moisturize your entire body. Slather on the lotion and pay special attention to dry areas like elbows and the heels of your feet. Do a paraffin wax treatment on your hands and feet. Paraffin wax softens skin and makes it soft to the touch.
4. Use a pumice stone on your feet. Buff away dry skin by using a soft, circular motion.

Once you've done all this, call us for your organic spray tan. There's no better way to get golden, glowing skin than with an airbrush tan like the ones provided by BronZEN Airbrush Tanning or a salon in your hometown. Unlike sunbathing or tanning booths that put you into contact with harmful UV rays, airbrush tanning does nothing of the sort. In fact, the active ingredient in all of our spray tanning formulas is DHA, an FDA-approved sugar cane derivative, that provides a safe alternative to the sun. They say that "a picture's worth a thousand words" and they couldn't be more right. Make your wedding day one that stands out for the rest of your life. Look and feel your absolute best by contacting us and scheduling an appointment for airbrush tanning.

Dermatology Study: Use of Sunless Tanning Products

~Deters Women From Harmful UV Tanning

A recent study published in the Archives of Dermatology found that women who were given sunless tanners along with a bit of skin cancer education were 33 percent less likely to sunbathe to develop a tan, compared to only 10 percent of those who were not given sunless tanners. Two hundred fifty women were recruited to participate in the study during their visit to a public beach in Massachusetts. The researchers found that their tanning intervention, which promoted sunless tanning as an alternative to UV tanning, "had a short-term effect on sunbathing, sunburns, and use of protective clothing and a longer-term effect on sunbathing and sunless tanning."

Self-tanning products are a safer option than UV tanning. However, self-tanners still need to be concerned about protecting themselves from the sun, even after the product gives them a darker color. Just because your skin is colored darker doesn't mean you're protected from UV rays. DHA in self-tanning lotions and airbrush tanning services, is the ingredient that darkens the skin - does offer some protection, equivalent to an SPF of about 2 to 4. But this is barely any protection at all. When shopping for a self-tanner, make sure to look for one that has an SPF of at least 15 or also apply a regular sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Also remember, you should reapply the sunscreen every two hours outside, or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating. And you need to put on sunscreen the next time you go outside, even if your tan remains.

Research proving that UV tanning behavior can be changed with awareness is encouraging since tanning in the sun is both out of style and unhealthy, damaging the DNA in your skin. This is why celebrities, models, and fashion insiders, including Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Victoria Beckham and many others opt for the sunless approach. They wouldn't alter their natural beauty - or risk harming their skin - certainly not by tanning.

Sarah Brown, Vogue's Beauty Director, says it best: "A healthy glow does not mean a deep dark tan. A healthy glow means your natural glowing skin.", both of which are easy to create with airbrush tanning and cosmetic sunless tanners. This is a trend you'd be smart to follow!

What the heck is spray tanning?

Airbrush TanningYou may have wondered how celebrities get that marvelous tan no matter whatever the season may be. The secret: airbrush tanning! Airbrush sunless tanning is one of the healthiest options to get a tan. You might walk into a salon pale-skinned, but come out with a gorgeous healthy glow...AND good for your conscience. Tanning actually takes place when your skin gets exposed to the sun. The reaction is the production of pigments (melanin) the skin to protect itself from the sun's UV rays.

In case of airbrush tanning, a compressor and airbrush tool are used to apply the tanning solution. The active ingredient in all tanning products on the market and in airbrush tanning solution is DHA, a sugar cane or beet extract. The bronzing effect is all natural and reacts to the epidermis layer of the skin. Airbrush tanning provides no any UV protection and last 6-10 days if properly care for.

Though you can get a tan done at airbrush tanning salons, it would be nice if you can get it done in the privacy of your own home. This is where mobile tanning comes in! Convenient, private and a spa treatment in your own home.

Airbrush Tanning Popularity: on the red carpet

Have you ever wondered why Asians and African Americans want to have a whiter complexion, while Caucasians try their hardest to be bronze? Why celebrities and models don the just off the French Riviera look? Why sunless tanning products is a $500 million dollar market? The rise in popularity of sunless tanning products as a part of the indoor tanning industry has introduced a whole new arena: airbrush tanning.

The benefits of applying sunless tanning lotion include not only looking healthier, but also looking younger and more beautiful. How so? A tanned complexion denotes activity. Being tan not only signifies an outdoor lifestyle, athleticism or leisure. Tanned skin also hides blemishes, age spots and cellulite.

Now, it is because of these findings in how tanning and its benefits are perceived by people that is the starting point of tracing the real reason why Americans want to be tan. Experts figure that the ability of sunless tanning products to make people look and feel younger, more beautiful and healthier is the reason why it is so popular. How come?

The benefits of being tan all point to one thing; and that is, people feel more attractive when they have a bronzed complexion. The desire to be physically attractive to the opposite sex stems from a deep-seated and often subconscious yearning to find ones mate. Yes, its as simple as that. Every persons desire to find that one true love, soul mate or their other half spurns ones need to become more physically attractive. And because tanning has become a popular and lasting trend that promises looking and feeling more attractive, it has turned into a sort of compulsion for many to become tan.

You might find it silly and most of you may deny it, but psychologists explain that the desire to be physically attractive is a natural biological reaction that originates from the need to mate. Whats more, studies have shown that not only do people tend to subconsciously look for their mates, but they also have a pre-programmed list of qualities that their mates should possess so that these traits can be passed off on their future children.

Being healthy is at the top of that list. And because tanning makes one look and feel healthy, they become more appealing and attractive to the opposite sex. Hence, sunless tanning one of the easiest, most convenient and most effective ways to become tan has become a trend that is expected to grow and last.

How Warm, Glowing Skin Can Help You Have a Better Summer

Have you ever been called radiant? Does your warm, glowing skin win you points wherever you go? If you have a hard time diverting attention away from your appearance, then you're sure to have a summer to remember. When you look and feel your best, it shows. Being toned and tan can boost your self-confidence. It can give you the courage that you need to try something new. Instead of hiding your body in a one-piece bathing suit, you'll make your debut at the pool wearing that hot new bikini you've been wanting for months. This allows others to see you for who you really are--a fun loving, confident woman with a bronzed body. Summer happens to be a busy time for Austin. Soak up the sun at an outdoor festival or concert. Just remember to do the following things to protect and nourish your skin:
Choose a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher and apply it frequently to your body and face. Experts recommend using at least a shot glass full on your body and a teaspoon full on your face. If you plan on getting into the pool or swimming in the ocean, make sure that it's a waterproof formula. Exfoliate using the "dry brushing" method. This allows you to remove dead skin safely and effectively. It also removes cellulite and tones your muscles. A loofah or dry towel should do the trick. Replenish moisture by choosing a freshly scented lotion. Slather your skin in a good organic moisturizer. You can find a variety of different brands online or at your local health food store. Pay special attention to drier areas of your body like your elbows and heels.
Tanning allows your authentic self to shine through. If you're looking for a way to make this summer more memorable than those past, consider taking good care of your skin.
