Safe Tanning Available Naturally in Tempe

Looking for that summer tan? Feel it will make you look young, sexy and glamorous? Well, beware. Whether you are soaking up the rays by the pool or beach, or inside a tanning bed, the rays can be harmful to your skin…even to the degree of causing skin cancer.

Skin cancer is the most prevalent form of all cancers in the U.S. and if left untreated, can spread to other organs and is difficult to control. This year there will be more than one million new skin cancer cases diagnosed.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful.

Tanning is also skin damage. It causes premature aging, with the skin appearing leathery and wrinkled. It can also damage the immune system.

Luna Fitness of Tempe has a safe tanning system that does not use UV lights or harmful chemicals. People can still get a natural looking skin tone to their desire of light, medium or dark. In just 60 seconds, a person can be bronzed and hydrated within the wide-open booth. There are different full-body skin treatments allowing people to customize their tanning application, from a pre-sunless hydration spray, a skin bronzing solution and an anti-aging moisturizer. No chemicals or alcohol are involved. The solution is sugar, water, DHEA and aloe vera based. The bronze lasts about a week.

“I use it myself”, said Luna Fitness owner Skye Roberts of the Versa Spa Magic Spray Tan. . “I like to look tan but there is skin cancer history in my family and I wouldn’t want to take the risk.”

She said her clients like the quick and easy one-minute application and the natural appearance of the bronze. It is not orange looking and the skin is moisturized from the treatment.

The cost is included in various spa packages available at Luna Fitness.
