Volunteering for MOPS!

Just a quick post to let you know where I will be on Wednesday, 26 October 2011...

The Wilmington Island, Ga Mothers of Preschoolers Island MOPS group is hosting it's 10th Anniversary Event! They are sponsoring a Pretty, Pretty Princess Spa Day for all of the hard-working Moms on Wilmington Island. I am really excited to be able to donate my time to these women. As a Mom of three children myself I know what a challenging job motherhood is! The rigors of daily life keep us all so busy and it is too easy for Moms to care for everyone else around them, neglecting the self-care that is needed for a healthy, well-rounded life.


The MOPS Spa Day event will host the best spas and salons and childcare is provided. Located at First Baptist Church of the Islands, 6613 Johnny Mercer Blvd. from 9:15-11:30.


I am pleased to be able to donate my time to this event to pamper some women. I will be doing mini-manicures ... a little nail shaping and polishing as well as promoting my Spray Tan business... FauxGlowBronzingStudio.com  I know how difficult it can be for Moms to fit in time for their own self- care so I am bringing my mobile spray tent to show them how easy it is for me to come to them! I know, right!? This is too easy if you live on Wilmington, Talahi or Tybee Islands! My spray tans are mobile and can come to you! I would love to share this easy and inexpensive way to make you look fabulous and to feel really good about yourself! I am available at my physical location in mid-town Savannah, Ga. by appointment FauxGlowBronzingStudio.com and I am now MOBILE!

So, come out and see me at the Island MOPS Spa Day Event at First Baptist Church of the Islands!
In the meantime, call me to schedule your next gorgeous Faux Glow... 912.484.7999

California Bans Tanning Beds for Minors

Media outlets have been talking about the new teen tanning bed law passed by California Governor Jerry Brown.  If you haven't heard about it this new law signed Sunday 9 October 2011 (effective January 1) bans anyone under the age of 18 from using an indoor tanning bed in the state of California.

California is the first state to introduce a bill of this kind- banning anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning bed. Currently there are more than 25 other states that have age-restrictions in place for teen tanning (most of which require parental consent for teen tanners aged 14-17) With incidences of many different types of skin cancer on the rise there is little doubt that full bans on teen tanning will become the norm in most other states.

The new law has the American Academy of Dermatology applauding.  The academy has cited that previous research shows that people who have been exposed to UV radiation from indoor tanning have 75% higher risk  for melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, as well as many other types.

What is person to do to get a tan? Look no further than a spray on tan! Quick, convenient, temporary and most important- safe! Spray on tans are the easiest and safest way to get a gorgeous bronze glow without the worry or effort of tanning from the sun or tanning beds. Spray tanning gives your skin a beautiful bronze color by using DHA, a natural ingredient derived from sugarcane.  The DHA reacts with the outer layer of your skin to produce your tan. Naturally!  

This new law may well be the spark that ignites people to begin looking at the damages UV exposure can have on this beautiful and vital organ- skin! Spray tanning is the healthiest and quickest alternative available today to get a healthy, gorgeous glow!

I love to meet new people and to see them leave my studio happy and confident with their new tan! Check out my website for all your questions on spray tanning and then call me to schedule your glow!

Prepare Your Way For The Best Spray Tan Today

Congratulations on deciding to spray tan! This is quickly becoming the most popular method of tanning today. It is the best alternative to the sun without the dangers of UV rays and permanent damage to your beautiful skin. Achieving a natural looking ‘just off the beach’ glow is easy when following these basic steps.

Laying the groundwork for your spray tan is almost as important as the skill and expertise of your spray tan consultant. Proper preparation of your skin will ensure the best possible spray tan results.

The most important step for a fabulous spray tan?

EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE!

Your skin reacts to the ingredients in the spray tan-DHA or dihydroxyaceton . This is a natural occurring element that reacts to the proteins in your skin cells that turns them brown. Exfoliating prior to your tan allows those cells to be fresh and ready for an even application of the spray tan formula.

Important steps to remember when preparing for your spray tan:

Schedule your appointment 48 hours prior to your special occasion or event. This will allow your spray tan to settle in and will provide some wiggle room in the unlikely event that you have any issues with your tan. Spray tans generally require 6-8 hours to ‘set up’ on the skin so you want to give yourself plenty of time before your occasion.

On the day prior to your tan shave all areas of your body that you normally shave with a fresh razor and a good shave cream. Shaving on the day of your tan may leave some skin pores open which will show up as tiny pin points of the spray tan formula- giving it a day allows the pores to close after shaving. If you prefer to wax it is a good idea to do this 2 days prior to your spray tan.

Wash your body thoroughly with a non-moisturizing soap or body wash. Using a loofah glove or body scrub mitt... EXFOLIATE that body! Slough it all off!  Pay extra attention to your knees, heels and elbows as this is where we tend to have extra patches of rough skin. These are also the areas that can be tricky to spray tan if they haven’t been exfoliated well.

After showering DO NOT apply any lotions, deodorants, perfumes or make-up. We don’t want any barriers to your freshly exfoliated pristine skin. Your skin can now easily absorb the spray formula that will give you a beautiful tan. If you must wear make-up to go out (most of us prefer to) it can be washed off right before your session!

Wear loose fitting dark clothing to your appointment. Anything tight against the skin will act as an abrasive and will rub away your tan before it has a chance to set in. Your tan  will set in within 6-8 hours after your session.

These are the best tips for achieving a fabulous and natural looking spray tan. With the proper preparation and EXFOLIATION no one will ever know you are wearing a spray tan!

What exactly IS a Faux Glow Spray On Bronzing/Tanning? Spray On Bronzing/Tanning uses a solution called DHA which is short for dihydroxyacetone. This tanning agent is inside all of the self tanning solutions. It is actually a sugar that interacts with your skin cells when applied. It creates a sort of stain on your skin, making it appear darker, therefore, tanner.
