TANNING LOTION 101

Why buying your lotion from a licensed salon matters

In the world of online shopping, please be mindful of the TANNING lotion you are purchasing. There is SO MUCH fraud out there. Major TANNING lotion companies like Designer Skin, Devoted Creations, Ed Hardy and JWOWW only sell to licensed TANNING salons. If you are finding these products on websites like Amazon, Walmart or Target, those are NOT approved or licensed TANNING salons, so you do not know what you are getting.

Too many times we ask our customers where they purchased their lotion. When we find out it was from an online site, we ask if we can compare their product to one of ours. It’s amazing! Their product is thinner, a different color, and even has a different smell. So what did you purchase? You don’t know!

When purchasing these products online, we don’t know what is in them, and many of these lotions will hurt our bed acrylics. When the acrylic heats up, it expands ever so slightly, opening its pores. If you are using a lotion with bad ingredients in it (like oil), it will penetrate the pores of the acrylic and weaken it over time, causing it to crack. TANNING bed acrylics are not cheap.

If you hold a membership at Electric Sun SALON & SPA, you automatically receive a 20% discount on lotion purchases. (When purchasing your lotion, please let your receptionist know you are a member.)

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TANNING SALON AND PURCHASE YOUR LOTIONS FROM THEM.
