How does YOUR skin AGE?

Your skin ages in a couple different ways – from the inside and the outside.

There’s always the passage of time that makes everyone feel and many times, look old. You might notice this in your mid thirties. The amount of oil glands might lessen and your fat and collagen in your skin begins to diminish. You start to see wrinkles. The top layer of skin will actually start to thin. You may not notice this on the top of your skin but it’s happening and there’s nothing that can change it.

But, then there’s also the exposure to wind, sun, etc. that ages us. Prolonged exposure to sun is a big reason why most people experience skin aging. Your skin may start to look “leather-like”. It is very dry with deep wrinkles. You might also notice an increase in spider veins as well as “sun spots” or skin tone that is not even. The more damaged your skin is, the more sensitive it becomes. And, you increase your chances of getting skin cancer. Here, the top layer of skin can become thin or thick (making your skin look rough).

So, when your doctor tells you to wear sun screen, listen! And, if you want a deep dark tan, you might consider a spray tan instead!!

Deep Dark Spray Tan

Many would agree that a suntan gives a nice, “healthy” glow to your skin. However, more and more people understand the effects of sun damage and are turning to spray tanning to get that healthy glow. So what do you need to do to prepare your skin for a spray tan? Here, you’ll find some spray tan tips for a natural spray tan. This will help give you a dark spray tan and keep it – saving you time and money.
So, here are my tips for spray tanning:
It’s a good idea to exfoliate your skin before you go for your spray tan because the spray tan actually adheres to the dead skin.
If you have an excess of these dead skin cells, your spray tan will come off a lot quicker.
Your tan will last a lot longer and will actually be darker if you exfoliate beforehand.
Also, if you have dry skin, your tan won’t last as long.
If your skin is oily, it actually will last longer because your skin will be more lubricated (and make it harder for the dead skin to come off).
After spray tanning, keep your skin moisturized with your favorite moisturizer (no fragrance).
Only exfoliate again once you start seeing “patches” or your tan is beyond the point of getting touched up.
Exfoliating is a good spray tan removal tool for your custom spray tan. First, soak in a warm tub. Tip: add a little baking soda to help loosen the tan.
Next, exfoliate your skin with your Nutt So Ruff exfoliating scrub bar. You can even use a little bit of lemon juice to help.
Once you learn how to care for your skin and your spray tan, you’ll enjoy your tan for a lot longer – saving you money in the long run! Get that dark spray tan you’re looking for. Finally, the perfect tan!!
