Get the Glowing Summer Tan Without the Harmful Rays of the Sun & Tanning Beds. Covet Spa Will Show You How
We all know how harmful the sun’s rays are to our skin, and with the ozone layer thinning, we really have to be careful. So, we wear sunscreen to protect our skin and enjoy the sun, but how can we get that “touched by the sun” color?
Rub, tint, cream, roll, spray, airbrush…oh, the choices!
The market is saturated with miracle self-tanning products and it’s becoming quite confusing which works best for your skin- but how do you choose?
Many people prefer to apply the product themselves. By doing so, you can control the amount of product you apply as well as apply it specifically where you would like the color…so if you only need extra color on your legs to look great in shorts, it’s quick to apply.
The disadvantages? You have to pick the right color - many people want a dark tan quickly and the result is an unnatural look. You have to apply it evenly and make sure to properly exfoliate so you don’t look patchy. Remember to apply carefully over your knees and around your ankles, elbows, feet and hands, so you don’t get the dirty look. Afterwards, scrub the palms of your hands to remove the stain.
The three biggest drawbacks that I’ve heard from clients about tanning products are that they turn orange, the color can be uneven, and they hate smelling like chemicals. Finally, we’ve found a product that addresses all of these concerns, and it’s quick and easy.
Introducing the completely organic spray tan system.
Developed in Australia, the tanning system used at Covet Spa is unlike most on the market today. It is a completely organic airbrush system, not chemically treated in any way. It contains no alcohols, glycerin, oils or preservatives, minimizing reactions that some receive with other tanning products.
Bell’s Beach is available in three specific shades to provide a glowing, healthy tan. We can define your muscles (or create the illusion that you have some!), and there is no chance of turning orange. Distinct shades allow for complete control of color enhancement.
Before you tan, be sure to thoroughly exfoliate either at home or with our body scrubs, which will slough away dead skin cells and hydrate your skin. Your canvas will be ready to evenly accept the spray tan without worry of dry patches. Visit www.covetspa.com to learn more about our spray tan and body exfoliator series packages where you can save up to 40%.
Don’t forget your skin care for the summer!
It’s so important to remember that our skin produces an extra layer of dead skin cells with each season. And, during the summer months, with extra sun exposure and dips in the salty ocean water, the skin will produce even more extra dead cells, not just on your face, but your entire body. Take care of your skin by drinking a lot of water and changing your skin care routine to account for the extra dead cells, perspiration and sebum you produce. Your cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF products are the three products that should be re-evaluated for the summer months.
Don’t like the feeling of heavy sunscreens?
Visit us for a facial to help determine which sunscreen would be best for your skin type. We have a variety of sunscreens to choose from including a hot summer item – state-of-the-art, all natural Powder-ME SPF from Jane Iredale Cosmetics. This all over face and body powder protects from both UVB and UVA rays.
Because this remarkable sunscreen is a powder, it doesn’t run where you don’t want it – like your eyes! It also starts working immediately. No waiting for chemicals to be absorbed by the skin. Just layer the light powder on for immediate protection. It’s so easy to use! Powder-Me SPF is packaged in an innovative dispenser that ensures quick and even coverage.
A recent study of 100 women showed that they found Powder-Me SPF so effective and convenient that they would not only buy it again but also recommend it to family and friends. Many of them used it on their children!
Testimonials:
“I love to tan. I tried the spray tan at Covet Spa. I had the 30 minute body scrub first, and it was so relaxing. My skin felt like silk afterwards. Then I had the spray tan and it was done in 5 minutes! Quick and easy, and my skin looked great. I just scheduled for my next tan!”
