HERMOSA BEACH'S FIRST ECO-TANNING BOUTIQUE IS HERE!  

By Christina Cha

We all know tanning beds are so bad for your skin.  Studies have shown that the continuous usage of tanning beds before the age of 35 can increase your chance of developing skin cancer (Dr. Barry Lycka, President, Canadian Skin Cancer Foundation). However using an alternative solution such as a mystic or sunless spray tan can help one achieve that sexy bronzy glow without the damage of the UV rays.  But the problem with mystic tans and other sunless tanning solutions is that they mostly use harmful chemical products that are not natural for your body and are not environmental friendly. In addition, it leaves that undesirable chemical bleach-like scent along with uneven blotchy orange color on your skin.

So how does one avoid looking like a disastrous fifth grade science experiment project and yet able to achieve that true sexy California sun-kiss glow? It’s simple, really. Why not use an all natural base product derived from walnut extracts and sugar cane. Sugar Rays Natural Airbrush Tanning is an all-natural airbrush tanning boutique located in Hermosa Beach , California . It is Hermosa Beach ’s first eco-tanning boutique. Hermosa Beach , known to be big party beach town is now evolving as one of California ’s sustainable green cities. The city now opens more eco-friendly businesses within the area such as Planet Earth Café, Gum Tree Café, Mani Pedi Cutie, OrganiClean, The Spot Restaurants, and Sugar Rays Natural Airbrush Tanning.

This allows the tanning solution to apply successfully onto your skin and it also helps the longevity of the tan.

So when you are ready to take that destination trip to that desirable island, don’t panic because you’re looking a bit albino. One airbrush session is equivalent to eight tanning session at a tanning bed.  It’s recommended not shower within the next eight hours and to always moisturize after showing. For best results and longer last of the tan, try coco or shea butter body cream.  That will keep the tan for up to 10 to 12 days. When the tan begins to fade, make sure you exfoliate your skin with a natural sugar or sea salt scrub. Hermosa Beach First Eco-Tanning Boutique can be found right on corner off of Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue (right next to Zane’s Restaurant). It’s called Sugar Rays Natural Airbrush Tanning®. Come visit and experience a much natural, cleaner, sexier, healthier sunless tan.
