Ultra Image Salon is proud to offer a brand new service: sunless tanning.  In recent years, we’ve learned from numerous studies just how harmful UVA and UVB rays can be.  Specifically when it comes to indoor tanning.  According to the American Academy of Dermatology, indoor tanning has caused a “75 percent increase in the risk of melanoma in those who have been exposed to UV radiation from indoor tanning.”  Not only is the risk for dangerous skin cancers heightened, but UVA and UVB rays damage your skin’s elastins causing premature wrinkling and sagging.  Currently, 30 states restrict indoor tanning use by minors- by either banning it altogether or by requiring parental consent.

Fortunately, we’ve found a way to help you achieve that sun-kissed glow without damaging your skin or compromising your health.  South Seas is our exclusive 100% paraben-free sunless tanning line.  Not only is the brand we carefully selected top quality, it’s also eco-friendly- with  recyclable packaging.

We offer a full line of South Seas skin care products as well to keep your skin nourished, healthy, and radiant between visits.  These products are ideal to help your tan last as long as possible.  Ultra Image is offering a special introductory price for $25- and normally, each session costs $30.  Additionally, our monthly package offers one session a week at $100 a month.

A word to the wise: before you come in for your sunless tanning session, you’ll want to make sure you follow these tips to achieve the ultimate bronzing experience:

• Hydrate:  Make sure that you keep your skin moisturized during the three days preceeding your spray tanning session.
• Exfoliate:  Definitely exfoliate prior to your tanning session- South Seas offers their exclusive “Bora Bora Body Polish” to exfoliate gently and help keep your skin soft and smoothe.  This step is crucial so you get an even tan.
• Hair Removal: Any hair removal should be done the night before your spray tanning session.
• The day of your appointment: after your shower, do not put any moisturizer on your skin- or any other body product.

Make sure you also check out the South Seas moisturizing sunscreen- regular sunscreens will remove your tan- but South Seas offers a special sunscreen to keep your tan looking great- and protect you from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
