Winter Tan

Give your skin a makeover….This Saturday is the first day of Winter! Get a Spray Tan to improve your self-esteem during these cold winter months ahead. The simple act of getting a spray tan will change your whole outlook on the way you feel, especially if it’s freezing and miserable outside. Even if no one else is able to see your tan while you are bundled up from the cold, at least you will have the confidence and feel good when you look at yourself in the mirror. -Melissa

This cold weather is starting to take its toll on my skin. Most of us are losing our UV base tans from being outside this summer. Which means we need to use a lower DHA solution. This is when I pull out the Sjolie original solution 6 and Sjolie original Solution 9 and custom formulate. The sun and I don’t get along, so I am usually on the fair side year round and always use a combination of the 2. However, the combination of cold and my lack of consistent moisturizing has led to drier skin. This is the time of year when using an aloe based spray tanning solution like the Sjolie Original Solution line is vital. Even with great moisturizing we can be dry, but the aloe actually counteracts any of the typical drying effects of alcohol based solutions. And, as an added bonus it goes above and beyond giving you a built in moisture lock and perfectly lasting color.

Sunless Fact: Dry Skin + Alcohol based = Bad fade and Orange tendencies

Self-tanning lotions, mousse, gels and oils typically have a high alcohol content which can lead to excess dryness, bad fade as well as the dreaded orange. Often during the winter months, clients will resort to using only self-tanners. Don’t get me wrong, self-tanners like the Sjolie Tan Extend give amazing color and great moisture(which many other products are lacking, can you say alligator skin?). It mainly comes down to streakiness and tan limbs… only. Who wants to look in the mirror and see a white torso and tan arms and legs? I always hear, “No one will see the rest of me, so why not?” My reply is always, “You don’t tan for them, you tan for you!”

So, as we enter this holiday season full of party dresses, family, friends and celebrations educate your clients on how to achieve that perfect winter glow no matter what you are showing and that true beauty comes from within. A spray tan just adds that extra glow!

Best Wishes and the Happiest of Tanning!
