The Spring is a great time to completely exfoliate your body in preparation for warmer weather. This means exfoliating, deep pore cleansing, and deep hydration. Your skin will be silky smooth and it will also be the perfect palate for sunless tanning.
We came across a great read by Dr. Cynthia Bailey that will provide you with tips to spring clean your skin. Ashley Trenner has a last wish for everyone to hear and it is a warning about the dangers associated with tanning beds. Ashley started tanning in a bed as a teen ager and was diagnosed with melanoma the first time when she was just 33 years old.
Ashley, now 40, has had three separate bouts with melanoma and was confident that she beat it each time. Last May, Ashley was on her third clinical trial and was hoping to beat it for good. Nine months later her tumors have her in tremendous pain, left the left side of face paralyzed and she was terminal. “If there's one person's life that I can affect, then that's a beautiful gift that I could give to somebody ‘cause I don't want them to end up like me at all,” said Ashley. “It's just not worth it. I can't express that enough. It's just not worth it", stated Ashley in her hospital bed. Melanoma is very real and can affect young to old. How many people have to suffer before we realize that tanning beds are very dangerous and kill? Many states are taking steps to ban tanning beds for teens and have imposed heavy taxes on tanning salons. This is a free country and we have the right to choose how we live our lives but be educated about your decisions. Don't wait until it's too late. Think of Ashley the next time you consider tanning in a bed or laying out in the sun without sunscreen. Ashley lost her life to melanoma and her last wish was to educate everyone on the dangers of tanning beds. Let's all honor her for her courage and thank her for her story.  How far in advance before my event should I get a spray tan? This is a very common question we get from our new clients and social media followers. The timing of your sunless tan or spray tan is very important to looking your best and making sure your spray tan is at the peak of the development stages.
The majority of the time we would advice our clients to book a spray tan 2-3 days before a big event or wedding. Our experience tells us that this is the time frame where the sunless tan has fully developed into a beautiful, golden brown. View some of our clientsspray tan results. This would give you enough time for your first rinse and research also shows that the tan is still developing after your first rinse so 2-3 days is the perfect amount of time. A typical spray tan can last anywhere from 7-9 days, sometimes longer. We have discussed this in previous posts that is depends on how you care for your tan but a good rule of thumb is that your tan will last between 7-9 days. It's very important to note that after each shower and as the days go on the tan will fade. You don't want to schedule your spray tan too far in advance for the fact that after four days the tan will certainly be less vibrant than the previous three days after you get a spray tan. So when you have a big event planned and you know you want a spray tan, be sure to contact us to schedule your appointment to make sure you get your requested time and date. During the wedding months of Spring and Summer we book up very fast so do yourself a favor and make sure to contact us as soon as you know your date. If you get sprayed 2-3 days before your event you will get the most out of your tan and will definitely turn heads at your special event!

By Deann Casias Howard It's been a long winter in most parts of the country and once the sun pokes through for a warm up, most of us like to spend more time outside. It's safe to say that most of us fail to leave the house with some type of sunscreen on our faces or other parts of our body that are exposed to the sun. It's important to understand that the sun ages our skin and prevention of sun damage is much easier than fixing sun damage. STOP and GLOW has provided some Spring and Summer skin care tips to help you avoid sun damage in the warm months:
