Should I moisturize before or after self-tanning?

TanTowel needs to be applied to CLEAN and DRY skin (meaning free of lotions, creams, and oils). We recommend using TanTowel Moisture Mist or TanTowel On The Glow® moisturizer after using the TanTowel. These have been designed to work with the TanTowel self-tan process and will not inhibit the tan. We recommend that you wait 10 minutes before applying either the TanTowel Moisture Mist, or TanTowel On The Glow® moisturizer. Otherwise, you need to wait 3-4 hours before applying other moisturizers and creams so as not to inhibit the tanning process.

TanTowel is the best self-tanner on the market because of its ease of use, portability, and natural-looking color.

Chicago Tribune gives nod to TanTowel

Here is the write-up from the Chicago Tribune regarding Tantowel that ran on December 21, 2008. The article was written by Wendy Donahue:

Problem: I know it’s winter, but a ghostly pallor just doesn’t look festive. Is there any tanning product that I haven’t tried that is tested and approved by those in the know?

Solution: In sharing some of his personal favorite things for giving and receiving this holiday, Adam Glassman, creative director for O, The Oprah Magazine, said his friends know he can always use fresh stock of the Tan Towel. “I admit I like the look of being sun-kissed, but have been avoiding the real sun for years now with tons of sun protection. Tantowel.com offers the best self-tanning product I have ever used—and I have tried them all. Individual single-use towelettes (like baby wipes) allow you to apply quickly on your face and/or body. You dry quickly and the color accelerator is the fastest, deepest, most natural tan I have ever seen. I am always asked, ‘Where have you been?’ and no one can believe it is a fake tan.” A full-body classic 10-pack for fair to medium skin is $21, plus 10 percent off during December, at tantowel.com.

Raving Fan of TanTowel

“I rarely write notes to busy executives about their products, but in this case, I had to. I work for a music company based in Nashville and had the opportunity to attend the Grammys this year in New York. I attended a number of wonderful events that were graceful enough to offer “gift bags.”

The TanTowel was in one of these gift bags and, having never heard of a TanTowel, I gave it a try. I am olive skinned and can’t stand to be out in the sun, for many reasons, so I have tried many self-tanning products and this is the FIRST that has done all it said it would do. NO streaking. NO bad smell. NO sticky, goopy feeling and IT LASTS FOR DAYS ! The part that I liked best is that the color didn’t over stain my elbows, ankles and knees! WOW!

Working in entertainment - around stylists, hair & makeup people and tons of musicians/artists - I am able to tell everyone about this product - and will continue to do so. Did I mention that I travel a lot and love that it’s easy to travel with? Please pass this to Ms. Braun as well. Thanks for making such an amazing product and being nice enough to give samples in gift-bags so people like me have the opportunity to give it a try. I’m hooked!”

Sincerely,
JK

New Hand-Held Skin Cancer Detector

Balter Medical of Norway has developed a hand-held device that detects skin cancer. The device uses a technique called Optical Transfer Diagnosis that measures the difference of light waves being absorbed by blood vessels and suspicious moles.

The device is said to be very accurate as it correctly diagnosed 11 out of 11 malignant melanomas in a clinical study. It won’t be available for 2 years, however, as it is still in the process of development.

Michigan passess tanning salon regulations

The Michigan Legislature passed Bill 4146 yesterday. The bill was drafted to help reduce skin cancer among those who frequent tanning salons. It calls for tougher restrictions and oversight of tanning salons like listing potential health consequences, larger warning signs, and informed consent forms.

The new law also requires onsite parental consent for minors who wish to use tanning beds. Michigan joins the ranks of 25 other states who have at least some form of restriction in place for tanning minors.

No Winter Break for Skin Cancer

TanTowel would like to remind you that just because it is winter (in the Northern Hemisphere), skin cancer does not take a break.

“We see skin cancer all year round,” says Dr. Mary Hurley, president of the Dallas Division of the Dallas-Fort Worth Dermatological Society and North Dallas Dermatology Associates.

Basically, see a dermatologist “for anything that’s new, changing or not healing,” she says.

If you think you may have skin cancer or you notice an unusual-looking mole, have your dermatologist check it out right away.

Why does my tan fade?

Any tan (sunless or not) only affects the top couple layers of your skin, which is made up of dead skin cells. These skin cells naturally slough off and your body actually regenerates completely new skin every 35-45 days. Therefore, whether you’ve been laying out in the sun to get your tan or use our fabulous sunless tanning products, your tan will fade over time.

Everyone’s skin naturally exfoliates at different rates, and the more you shower, shave, swim, etc, the faster your tan will fade. Most people are able to maintain their TanTowel tan by using them about 2 times per week. Some people will require more frequent use, and some less - it depends on your skin type.

A great way to prolong and enhance your tan is to use our On The Glow daily moisturizer. This product has a small amount of tanning formula that keeps your tan going while moisturizing your skin at the same time. For more great sunless tanning tips, check out our website at www.TanTowel.com.
