Grab A Tan SPF 10 - 8 oz.
only $20.00

GRAB A TAN SPF10 is 20% Aloe and is our most protective water-based, oil-free sun product. It is designed for very fair (pink tones) and sun sensitive skin types. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure on clean, dry skin. For safer, more controlled tanning, start with 4-6 short sessions of 15-30 minutes on your first day and slowly increase your exposure time. Take a break every two hours to drink water and cool your skin from within. Turning red or even pink is severely damaging your skin, and your body will replace those damaged cells at a faster rate. Subsequently, your tan will fade more quickly as those damaged cells are replaced.

Grab A Tan SPF 2 - 8 oz.
only $16.00

GRAB A TAN SPF2 IS 20% Aloe and is designed for those who have a good base tan or who naturally have darker skin (yellow tones) and are not sun sensitive. (For individuals with pink skin tones, using Grab A Tan SPF10 for a few days will develop swimsuit lines and condition your skin to move to SPF2 safely.) Begin with 30 minute sessions and gradually extend to a maximum of 2 hours, pausing to rehydrate and cool your skin. You will have better control, better color, and a healthier tan. Tanning is a natural function of human skin; turning red or even slightly pink is an injury to the skin.

After 2-4 days on Step 1, you should begin to have clearly defined swimsuit lines. Once you have these visible lines, your skin is sufficiently "conditioned" to move to Step 2 if you desire more color at a faster pace. To move at a slower pace, remain on the product recommended in Step 1, and gradually increase exposure time - never exceeding 2 hour sessions before taking a 30 minute break.

After 3-5 days on Step 2, your color will begin to develop further. For many, this step helps to promote as much color as desired. Remaining on the product  recommended in Step 2 will continue to develop color at a moderate pace. However, if you wish to deepen the good base that is developed in this step, you may progress to Step 3 once you have built up to 2 hour sessions in Step 2.

Gradually build your sessions until they are 2 hours in length. Never stay longer than 2 hours in the sun without taking a break to allow your skin temperature to cool down. Drink plenty of liquids during each break to rehydrate what the sun has dehydrated through perspiration.

Tanning Tips

  • Apply all sunscreens at least 30 minutes prior to exposure. Taking breaks of at least 20-30 minutes between sessions will encourage gradual color and better control because your skin temperature will have a chance to normalize.

  • Tanning by going through a red or pink stage will shorten the life of your tan by as much as 50%. Remember also, that sun damage to your skin is cumulative -  and causes premature aging of the skin as well as skin cancer. Tanning in itself is detrimental to the integrity of the skin - allowing your skin to become red or pink is ten times more damaging than tanning.

  • Waterproof products contain oils and waxes which make them adhere to the skin, but those same oils and waxes will become your worst enemy if you use waterproof products when not in the water. Perspiration will build and be trapped under that layer of waterproofing which will serve as miniature magnifying glasses for the sun's intensity. Turning red, pink, or rashing will become a distinct possibility - regardless of the SPF number used. If you plan extensive water activities, use at least double the SPF number to compensate for that magnification factor, and then stay in the water to keep your skin cool to avoid burning and/or rashing.

  • We recommend daily moisturizing with Save A Tan, Skin Moist with Vitamin E or Hand and Body Lotion with Vitamin E.
