SUMMER FINDS





I realized, summer is here and I am as pale as snow.  Snow is not in season at the moment and I want to look healthy and tanned. So I headed over to my friends at Sunset Tan were I do 8 minutes in the European bed, supposedly better for your skin and then off to the California Tan booth for a medium dark, spray. In about 20 minutes all together I am walking out glowing and 10 pounds skinnier. 

This is another effect tan has on everyone.
 Now I have to say that I am not promoting such a life threatening thing but as with everything else in life, you use your common sense and moderation. Unfortunately most people do not believe in any kind of control and they need instant gratification-I get that with the spray tan. 

So, chill out, summer is here. The sun is the source of life.
It has vitamin D, which by the way, you have to stay out in the sun for 15minutes without sunblock to absorb it and with 70% of your body exposed.
The sun has also antibacterial properties, that is why acne clears in the summer unless you are allergic of your own sweat. 
So yes, the sun in moderation will make you a healthier and happier person that looks and feels better. 
The sunblock companies have scared everyone over the years so they can sell more and get richer. Of course, I am not saying do not protect yourself and skin. The sun, as friendly as it looks, it can be deadly. 
So, please use your logic. 

Anyway, the Sunset Tan super tanned blond California  girls at the front, are very friendly especially in the Studio City location. They explain everything and they try to sell you a package. I bought the package since they do not leave you any choice with an average  cost around $50 a session, you buy the package at $250 for the 5 and 5 cocktail. Tanning booth and spray mix. They always say that if you buy it now, they will throw in a couple of extra sessions.
I am  almost done with my sessions so a different girl offered me the package deal and proceeded to tell me that if I renew now she will throw in the couple of extra sessions. Hhhhhmmmm! I guess that is the pitching line and I tell you, it is fine with me. The package lowered my sessions to under 30 bucks and it never expires. 

Their European tanning bed is my fave, as the safest out of the bunch, this bed is fast and easy. By the way for the claustrophobic out there, it does not close all the way over you, so you don't feel like you are in a tomb.
Meanwhile, I skip buying the expensive salon after tan moisturizers. Any moisturizer is good. I use the Jergens glow and firming moisturizer.  It keeps tanning me and lasts longer.  I try not to scrub too hard, so I do not scrub it off. I shave the day of my spray tan so I don't have to shave for a couple of days and take it off. 
The girls at the salon tell me that I should just rinse with water and just wash with soap ... those special parts...Ugh! I can't do that, unless I lather and smell the fresh smell of my soap, I do not feel clean.
Sorry girls!
