The BEST Exfoliating Mitt for Pre-Tanning Preparation Now Ships Worldwide

by Kona Katie on Thursday, August 09, 2012

WHAT IT IS:

Part of Kona Tanning Company's sunless tanning product line - The MicrodermaMitt is a reusable, non-abrasive and all natural exfoliating mitt that instantly and thoroughly removes the top layer of dead cells like no other exfoliating product on the market. As it exfoliates, the Mitt cleans your pores of oil, bacteria, lotions, soap and other buildup. Immediately, your skin will glow and feel smoother than ever! The best part is that it works alone, and lasts for six months with proper care!

KEY BENEFITS:

- REMOVES dry, flaking, and scaly skin
- STIMULATES collagen to bring newer, healthier skin to the surface
- REDUCES the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- TREATS and prevents blemishes and acne
- HELPS eliminate ingrown hair and razor bumps
- HELPS fade age spots
- SMOOTHES away small bumps on arms and thighs (Keratosis Pilaris)

WHY EXFOLIATE?

Exfoliation is one of the most commonly overlooked and neglected aspects of vital and healthy-looking anti-aging skin care. It is one of the easiest and least expensive rituals you can add to your current skin care regimen, and brings about dramatic results for anyone - but especially those who have neglected this aspect of healthy skin in the past. The accumulation and buildup of trapped impurities and dirt due to lack of proper removal and exfoliation tends to leave skin looking dry, dull, rough and uneven. It also results in clogged pores and blemishes. Did you know that, at birth complete cell turnover takes approximately 2 weeks. But, by the time you are 50 years of age, the same process takes 4-6 weeks.

Exfoliating can be compared to gardening. When you dead-head or prune your flowers or plants, it stimulates the production of fresh, new flowers. The same applies to your skin; when you exfoliate your skin, you help stimulate the production of new collagen, bringing fresh new skin to the surface.

Until recently, mechanical exfoliation meant using abrasive synthletic gloves, loofas, creams with grounds seeds and pits, all of which causes micro-tears in the skin with only very little exfoliating. The 100% Natural MicrodermaMitt exfoliates instantly and completely with just water!

Which Should Come First: Waxing or Spray Tanning? By Kona Tanning Company

by Kona Katie on Thursday, June 21, 2012

Which should come first: waxing or spray tanning?

Should I shave before or after the Kona Tan application?

All shaving and waxing is a form of exfoliation, so it is best to do all of your shaving before you get a spray tan, preferably at least 8 hours before tanning. Shaving and waxing after you get your spray tan can remove some of the tanned skin cells, so make sure to use a clean, new razor with a shaving cream or lotion to keep from scraping the skin too much. If in doubt, use extra cream or lotion to shave, and try not to put too much pressure on the razor. Don't forget to rinse your body after waxing to remove all traces of wax remnants! Wax remnants can stick to your skin, creating a barrier between your skin cells and your beautiful sunless tan!

My Kona Tan is Lasting Forever! How Do I Remove it for My Next Fresh Spray?

by Kona Katie on Friday, June 01, 2012

Can a Kona Tan be removed?

Kona Tans do not rub off easily. The tan simply fades over time, as you lose your dead skin cells. If you wish to remove the tan, it is best to use an exfoliating mitt to loosen skin cells that contain the tanned color. We love the MicrodermaMitt as both a tan remover, and a preparation tool for the next airbrush session. You may also find that soaking in a Jacuzzi or swimming pool will help to remove or fade the color faster.

Alternatively, a handful of granulated sugar can sometimes do the trick, especially when mixed with a warm, wet wash cloth. Need a little more power behind your scrub? Try adding a little baby oil to the mix, and massage your skin with the soaked wash cloth in a warm shower.

What to do Before You Tan: How Best to Prepare for Spray Tans and At-Home Sunless Tanning | by Kona Tanning Company

by Kona Katie on Friday, May 04, 2012

Skin naturally replaces itself every four weeks, which means twenty-five percent of skin is exfoliated away every seven days. Sunless tanning affects only the top 25 percent of skin, so once these cells slough away, they take your gorgeous sunless tan with them. You'll want to remove as many dead skin cells as you can prior to receiving your airbrush treatment, preferably with an oil-free, non-abrasive sugar scrub. As a beauty editor, Kona Katie was prive to the newest and most notable exfoliating products, and highly recommends the MicrodermaMitt, found in our store and online boutique. Removing loose, dead, dry skin cells that could prevent an even application of sunless solution will improve and extend your tanning results.

How Best to Prepare for Spray Tans and At-Home Sunless Tanning

Before sunless tanning, your skin should be clean and dry, free of any oil or soap residue that could interfere with your tan. Avoid bar soap, and body washes containing moisturizing beads or oils.

Apply minimal deodorant (do not use Secret, Degree or Mitchum deodorants until after the initial shower) or perfumes to skin prior to tanning, and shave or wax the day before. Shave legs with and against the grain for best results. Avoid mineral makeup the day you tan, as it reacts with the cosmetic bronzer.

Before you tan, remove any jewelry that would leave an unwanted tan line, including watches and necklaces. You'll want to avoid these until you've had a chance to rinse in the shower. Watches encourage perspiration to build up under the band, which can stop the development process of the tan in that area, leaving a "tan line."

Select a dark bathing suit or underwear to wear while being sprayed, though our female clients may opt for no tan lines. Also remember to bring dark-colored, loose-fitting clothing and flip-flops to wear home. (Think: loose yoga wear!)

Airbrush tanning enriches the colors in tattoos! Gently wipe off tattoos after tanning to make them even more vibrant.

After your tan, do not apply deodorant or moisturizing agents for at least four hours. Although the likelihood for an allergic reaction is very small, a patch test is recommended for persons who have a known sensitivity to sunless products or their ingredients (including fragrances, sugarcane, and beets).

After your Kona sunless treatment, wait at least five hours before bathing or exercise. Our tanning solution takes 12 hours to complete its development process, and for best results, clients should bathe once the development process has finished. However, if rinsing early, make absolutely sure that you rinse your entire body off - twice! - because any tanning solution that you miss in the shower will continue to develop, which can lead to streaks. For best results, rub your palms over your entire body, just to be on the safe side.

The MicrodermaMitt isn't just excellent for preparing for a spray tan - continuous use reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, treats and prevents blemishes and acne, helps eliminate ingrown hair and razor bumps, helps fade age spots, and smoothes away small bumps on arms and thighs (Keratosis Pilaris). All in all, it's one of our favorite products, and best sellers among our clients and family!
