Keep Your Glow: Best Spray Tan Salons In Los Angeles
The days of baby oil and tinfoil are in the past, but when it's the season of strapless dresses and bikinis, we all want radiant, bronzed skin. However, the more we learn about harmful UV and UVB exposure, the less time we want to spend working on our tans. Sunless tanning has taken on a new meaning in Los Angeles and what better way to show off your summer designer threads than with a sun-kissed glow that is natural-looking and won't damage your skin?

Your skin doesn't need to absorb harmful chemicals in exchange for a rich, bronzed tone. And you don't need to drive across town to get a great spray tan. Let the girls at LA Organic come to you. Their tanning products contain certified organic DHA, certified organic aloe vera extract, vitamin E and super-nutrient antioxidants to boost collagen.

LA Organic Tanning tips to prepare yourself: 1) Cleanse and exfoliate the area that is being spray tanned (don't use an oil-based product); 2) Concentrate exfoliation on potential dry skin areas such as elbows, knees, ankles and tops of feet; 3) Make sure you wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Suntans To Go
13317 Moorpark St.
Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
(818) 905-1455

Suntans To Go uses the The Mystic Tan™ booth to create a summer tan that looks natural. Each application is personalized to your skin tone, body size and the bronze shade you desire. At Suntans To Go, you won't have to wrinkle your nose at the chemical scent, because the raspberry almond fragrance will smell sweet like a summer day. To help your glow last longer, Suntans To Go suggests using a shower gel instead of soap (soap's high level of alkaline can neutralize the self-tanner) and use a moisturizer containing a gradual self tanner (such as Jergens Natural Glow).
