Direct sunlight can be both friend and foe to skin’too much and burning occurs, too little and natural defenses against the suns damaging rays are lost.
Wow Tan, 950 Ortonville Road offers the smart, educated solutions to proper tanning.
‘Indoor tanning is the safe way to lift your spirits on these dark cold winter days,? said Wow Tan owner Tim McIlrath who says indoor tanning is a responsible way to gain that golden glow. ‘Done correctly tanning year around is safer than burning the first time out in the sun.?
Keeping that tan all year is easy at Wow Tan.
From the relaxing massage chair in the lobby, to the ultra warm high pressure non-burning bed’Wow Tan is the right choice for a tan in a safe controlled environment. And with the availability of 2,000 watt facial bulbs and 22,000 watts of non burning rays, Wow Tan will color your world with a deep bronze glow the right way.
McIlrath says the key to a rich, long lasting tan is the quality of bulbs, a regular tanning schedule and the proper skin lotions.
‘It’s a matter of economy,? McIlrath. ‘Less time and money can be spent tanning if the right lotions are applied.?
For example, one tanning session costs $5 and lotion cost about .25 cents per application with a net savings of $4.75 over the cost of tanning.
‘By removing the dead, dry skin through exfoliation and appling a quality lotion will unblock 33 percent of the suns rays,? says McIlrath. ?
Wow Tan also offers the latest technology in tanning through a spray booth.
‘We offer a custom made spray booth at our Clarkston location, 5890 Dixie Highway for that instant tan,? said McIlrath. ‘You’ll never get that orange look when you leave here’customer satisfaction has been 100 percent.?
