Bad weather encourages Tanning

We have found as the weather changes and the temperature drops the number of tanners increases here at the salon. Of course for those of you who have lived in the Northwest you
accept that as the norm, as I do.

Well, in other parts of the country like Las Vegas, Phoenix and El Paso the norm is quite different when it comes to indoor tanning. In the hotter and more sunny regions of the country Tanners tend to want to tan indoors because of the extreme heat from the sun outside.

You get areas such as Miami where the owners of tanning salons in that region get most of their business from the tourist. When I think about that it makes little or no sense to me. When you go to an area of the country with beautiful beaches and alot of sun, why would you tan inside. Well our of curiousity I have asked that question of various salon owner and almost all answered with the fact that people come to that area of the country planning on getting a tan but find so much to do they do not get the time to lay out on the beach and do not want go home looking pale so they tan inside before leaving for home.

But that is there and this is here where we need UV Light for seasonal depression, to protect against sunburn befere you leave on a vacation and for the many ways that UV light really does help us with health related items, many of which you will find on our web site.

For me a real big factor in tanning is the fact that when I go to a tanning booth and proceed to tan it means I am going to get 20 minutes of peace and quiet. That is my 20 minute vacation in a busy day. Try it you will be glad you did.

Happy Tanning,
Dale
