That could be a loaded question, haha! Smells in a tanning salon could be good or not so good (we’ll get to that in a minute).
Let’s start with what you experience the moment you walk through our doors. Here at Baja Beach Tanning Club, we address wellness on many levels. That includes the aromas that hit your senses, relieving stress from your job, producing serotonin (your happy hormone), alleviating the congestion when pollen is high, or whatever we have diffusing in our lobby and wellness rooms. Feel great knowing that we don’t use chemicals or synthetic fragrances in the air you’re breathing, in the towels you use, the hand soap in the bathrooms or in the products that clean and sanitize the acrylics your skin comes in contact with. It doesn’t end there. We are concerned not only about your wellness, but the health of our staff members too. You can imagine the harmful effects that are caused by using chemical cleaners and bleach found in almost every business day in, day out. A 20-year study was conducted, and these were the findings. A major part of our job is cleaning, and we pride ourselves on keeping the salon in tip top shape. Have confidence, knowing that the equipment and room has been thoroughly cleaned with a natural cleaner containing specific EOs that are backed by published research to be effective against bacteria and viruses.
And now for those not-so-pleasant smells…
Unless you have never tanned indoors, you’ve heard of “after-tan odor”. This unpleasant after-tan smell is actually the skin’s naturally occurring bacteria that react to intense UV light exposure. It’s most likely why you don’t smell it when you’re outside or at the beach. It is frequently referred to smelling like “burnt skin” or “burning rubber”. And you know what’s even worse? Most people are nose-blind to their own odor, but others are quite aware! Yikes! So, going back to work, have a lunch date or going to your chemistry class after your tanning session? Don’t skip the lotion! We can prevent it from happening to you! Choose a professional tanning lotion from MR International that have proven odor inhibitors, not just a fragrance on top of the odor! You don’t want to smell like burning rubber and perfume! If your nose is sensitive, talk with a salon associate who will help you select a pure lotion that accelerates the tanning process without DHA (dihydroxyacetone), aka bronzer.
Just a gentle reminder that we guarantee the products we sell here at Baja Beach Tanning Club are genuine and have been protected from harsh environmental conditions such as heat and cold, something that cannot be said of mass-market products found at discount stores or online. Not to mention, our staff is qualified to help you find a lotion that is perfect for your skin type, any sensitivities, scent aversions, performance and desired results, even before you buy!
All that said, don’t hesitate taking deep breaths, grab a lotion, feel good, smell great, and get your golden glow in style!
