How to make your sunless tan last longer

What you do before and after your sunless tan is extremely important because doing the wrong things can cause your sunless tan to fade or simply wash away.
Choose a salon with a sunless tanning consultant or technician who has several years of experience at using sunless tanning products because they should also be able to give you recommendations so that your sunless tan is flawless and last longer.

The sunless tanning products you use should not contain any harmful or toxic chemicals, dyes, alcohol, additives, perfumes, or artificial colors. At Troy Richard Salon we have sourced out only the purest form of all of ingredients that will deliver results unsurpassed by any other tanning solution on the market called Bronze Biologic. You leave the salon with a beautiful, golden bronze tan that will last for days.

What you do BEFORE the Sunless Tanning Application:
DO NOT tan after 8pm because the tan can stain your hands while sleeping.

• Exfoliate with a washcloth or use the recommended skin products of the technician (this is not mandatory but will help).
• DO NOT use any body lotion, body cream, make up, or perfume the day you will be tanning.
• DO NOT put on any under arm deodorant (powders or lotions).
• Wear dark, loose fitting clothing. (NO tight fitting clothing, socks, or tight fitting shoe apparel). Cotton clothing is optimal.
• Bring a bathing suit, underwear or other suitable tanning attire.

What you do AFTER the Sunless Tanning Application:
Once your tan is applied, allow it to dry completely, (the technician will ensure that your application is dry).

• Any minor bronze rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics.
• DO NOT wet your skin for at least 6 hours after the tanning session.
• No shower of bath for at least 6 hours. (It is best to wait until the next morning) Your tan will last longer.
• DO NOT exercise or perspire excessively until the next day after your tan.
• Avoid touching or rubbing any tanned areas excessively.
• When you do take your first shower or bath, DO NOT scrub your body with a rough wash cloth. (Use hand and soap only)
• When showering or bathing DO NOT be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off - that is normal
• DO NOT exfoliate the skin for 7 days after tanning.
• Using a moisturizer is recommended to extend the tanning results.
• Your tan will naturally fade over a period of days. (Each tan should last about 7 to 10 days)

Additional steps you can take to make your sunless tan last longer:

1. Wait at least 8-10 hours before washing the tanning formula off.
2. Apply moisturizer morning and evening after your post-tan shower (avoid moisturizers with AHA because they promote exfoliation).
3. Avoid long hot showers and baths, and scrubbing the skin excessively. Pat your skin dry after bathing and showering.
4. Chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs can remove or shorten the longevity of your tan.
5. Take care when exercising as friction and excess sweat may cause your tan to fade prematurely or unevenly.
6. Be sure to use one of your after-tan extenders. (Ask your tanning consultant which sunless tan extender product is best for you).

Have a flawless sunless tanning experience at Troy Richard Salon, because you can rest assured that our tanning consultants have several years of experience.

Love your look.

Do Blondes Have More Fun Than Brunettes?

Glam Patrol has news that Marilyn Monroe would have been shocked to hear. But, it is our responsibility to keep our fashion conscious women current on what's happening in the world of Glam. Read on to see what's new in the world of hair color and stereotypes.

Contemporary popular culture, it is often stereotyped that men find blonde women more attractive than women with other hair colors. Even Alfred Hitchcock preferred blonde women for the major roles in his films; as he believing that an audience would suspect a blonde the least, therefore the term "Hitchcock blonde" was born.

OMG, and enough already with the Blonde jokes aka "dumb blonde" is a stereotype of blonde women being unintelligent, sexually promiscuous, or both. In other areas of modern culture, blonde women are often portrayed as "promiscuous", leading to the stereotype that blondes "have more fun" and this we now have proof... is not correct according to a recent poll.
Before you take out running to change your hair color, take a look at what was discovered about hair color and Cleaning Time by Hair Color:

• redheads: average 7.48 hours per week
• women with gray hair: average 7.41 hours per week
• blondes: average 6.13 hours per week
• brunettes: average 5.85 hours per week

If use this list as a barometer for who's doing all the cleaning, it's clear that brunettes on average do less house cleaning than redheads, women with gray hair, and blondes. According to our Glam Patrol brunettes have more fun than blondes. Marilyn Monroe would have been flabbergasted!

Black History Month's Most Influential Woman in Fashion

Which American model, actress, and businesswoman paved the way for today's black women of fashion?

Don't know? Answer: Beverly Johnson

As another Black History Month comes to a close, it give time to look back at some of the most beautiful people in America that have made great contributions. Models like Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks know full-well how important Beverly Johnson is to women of all colors.

Although Beverly Johnson's first assignment was with Glamour Magazine, her big claim to fame began when she was the first Black woman to hit news stand racks on the covers of Vogue (American edition) two years back-to-back 1974 and in 1975. Other popular magazines in the 70's also began to alter the beauty landscape. Beverly Johnson has been on the cover of more than 500 magazines including Elle Magazine.

Thank you Beverly Johnson for your commitment to female African Americans in entertainment, civil rights, the arts, and being a tower of beauty in the world for black women who love fashion. It's no wonder The New York Times named Johnson one of the 20th century's most influential people in fashion.

You know how trends start. You learn something about someone that you admire and instantly you see the significance in what it is that caught you eye in the first place. Often this is not material. No, it's confidence. The same confidence you feel when you leave Troy Richard Salon.
