Faux is The Way to Go

Coco Chanel

Ah the tan. A tan has meant so many different things throughout the years. It has come in and out of style. In the 1920's  a tan was perceived as "lower class" or associated with working outdoors. Later in 1920's CoCo Chanel took a trip to the French Riviera and accidentally was sunburned. Thus making a "tan" or darkened skin a trend. Today, it really is personal preference. For those of us that have to have that sun kissed look there is a way! 
Get out of that tanning bed! Get into Airbrush Tanning! 

 A sun tan is really just the result of the skin darkening because of a defense mechanism in our skin. The skin is the largest organ. It plays a significant role in providing protection for our bodies. When it is exposed to an excess amount of sun or UV rays  the skin will become darker. 
90% of our age spots and wrinkles are caused from the sun! Did you know? Freckles are merely a product of the sun. Sun Damage is a growing concern because of what it can leave behind like skin cancer. It is a deadly disease and often times if not caught can be fatal. That is why SUNSCREEN is your best friend. It is your job to protect the only skin you have. Everyday you should wear the proper sunscreen trying not to forget the easily forgotten areas like the back of your hands and ears, neck and back.  Just walking to your car in the morning you are putting yourself out there for the sun to damage! Be skin smart and always use the proper sunscreen daily all times of the year! Try Tocca sunscreen towelettes at EJ.
So what can we do for that glow that is so adored? SUNLESS tanning. Airbrush tanning is the safest way to achieve the beautiful tanned look without  harsh burns and aging. Sunless tanning stains the top layer of the skin giving a temporary tanned appearance. There are several different ways you can get an airbrush tan, but we recommend letting a professional do all the work and airbrush your tan on for a flawless look.
