Indoor Tanning Truths

Indoor Tanning Truths

Do indoor tanning lotions really expire?

I go to the tanning salon often and the girls there are always asking me how I am doing on lotion because I have had the same bottle for about 6-8 months. I told the girl I had plenty but she insisted that they expire and that I really need to get a new one because the amino acids in the lotions break down. She told me she was telling me the truth and that she wasn't just "selling" but I'm not sure... Does anyone know if they actually expire in that period of time? I use the Designer Skin brand lotion. Thanks!

They can expire, worse- they separate, and once separated it is impossible to fix them no matter how much you shake it. They usually don't expire until at least a year, but that also depends on how you are keeping the lotion, if your lotion is left in your car (something I typically do) and has been exposed to heat or cold this will make the expiration much sooner, once a lotion has melted it is usually done for, the same goes if it is ever frozen, even if defrosted it will still be ruined. I hope this helped!

Sunless Tanning $79.66 Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.

Tanning Addiction $79.66 Tanning addiction is a rare syndrome where an individual appears to have a physical and/or psychological addiction to sunbathing or the use of tanning beds. The mechanism of the addiction is unknown at this time.In 2005, a group of dermatologists published a study showing that frequent tanners experience a loss of control over their tanning schedule, displaying a pattern of addiction similar to smokers and alcoholics.Biochemical evidence indicates that tanning addicts are addicted to an opioid release experienced during tanning. When frequent tanners took an endorphin blocker in a 2006 study, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms, while infrequent tanners experienced no withdrawal symptoms under the same conditions.

Tanning Bed $70.1 A tanning bed or sunbed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation (typically 95 UVA and 5 UVB, +/3) used to produce a cosmetic tan. Regular tanning beds use several fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends designed to emit UV in a spectrum that is somewhat similar to the sun. Smaller, home tanning beds usually have 12 to 28 100 watt lamps while systems found in salons can run from 24 to 60 lamps, each consuming 100 to 200 watts.There are also high pressure tanning beds that generate primarily UVA with some UVB by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are much more expensive, thus less commonly used. A tanning booth is quite similar to a tanning bed, but the individual stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.

President Obama Remarks at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Happy Customer Just Back From Homegrown Hydroponics

I'm an old school guy. I always have been. I was raised in rustic Georgia by my grandmother after my fogeys died. I was raised outdoors in the garden. My grandmama was an enthusiastic gardener and so was her Mother before her. When it came to the yearly largest tomato contest we came close to winning, but never quite pulled it off. Third Place in 2008 wasn't bad, but we're not about to settle for second choice. Tomatoes first grew as wild, cherry-size berries in the South American Andes, but the fruit, as we know it today, was developed in Mexico where it was known as tomatil and traveled to Europe by boat with the returning conquistadors.

The issue with growing tomatoes outdoors is the weather. Drastic changes up or down can stunt or kill your crop. Plants like to be warm like humans, and avoid extremes of weather patterns. Naturally correct watering and fertilizing is super critical too. Particularly when going for the gold. I assumed we had it for sure last year until a rabbit came out of the blue and ate half of our prize winning nine pound tomato! I had it with nature, lack of rain and bushy rodents with lovable ears and unpleasant appetites!

Oddly enough a buddy of mine brought over a High Times magazine on the way back from the store with a pack of smokes and a case of beer. After a few cold ones, and some rubbish reruns on the T. V. , I started flipping through the best of High Times magazine and they had some write up on some company called local Hydroponics out in Weston Florida. Hell, these guys are practically my neighbors I thought! I called the eight hundred number and spoke to some guy named Howard. I told him I was tired of growing the way I mostly did and needed to try something new. Turns out that they pioneered the modern day grow box. Sounds like a bit of furniture to me.

What the hey is a grow box you ask? Hell, I wouldn't have been able to tell you that 6 months back. Turns out these suckers are boxes that look like ordinary cupboards, but inside they were given all of the lights on times, fans to bring in fresh air, and even a tub to hold the water and plants. Looked pretty useful on the web site, but I don't believe in purchasing anything until I lay my hands on it! So, the old woman and I hopped in our '57 Ford and took a ride down to their producing facility in Weston Florida. Boy, let me tell you these guys run an impressive show out there!

I been in manufacturing shops before, but I haven't seen anything as professional and high end as this. Turns out they got an engineer employed full time planning these machines in some program called Solid Works, and they get to design them and work out all of the issues on the computer before they even build them! Allegedly the machine I purchased from them called the Cultivator Pro was the product of 5 years of study and development into plant mechanics and from what I saw they really pushed things to the limits on this one.

Long story short I decided to make the leap on changing my out dated old fashioned and took a big gamble with Howard of local Hydroponics. I paid for my machine by assistants check and Howard told me it might be ready to pick up in 4-6 weeks. Looked a bit long, but hell - I got time to attend for something done right . Not more than 3 weeks later some guy named Shannon calls me and lets me know my unit is complete, and ready to pick up! Wow, completed in 1/2 the time! So we drove down there again and when we got there our Cultivator Pro was set up on display for us running so bright, and looking good! The store foreman Wayne was nice enough to give me a first hand demonstration of the way in which the product worked, and showed me all of the ins and outs before proceeding to pack it up for me and load it In my van. I couldn't wait to get it home and plant my tomato clones!

After talking to Howard again on the phone, he walked me through getting it all setup. It was simple and took less than an hour from unpacking it to filling it with water and turning it on. My God, when those 800 watts of light blast on your plants you need some sun shades and sun tan lotion! Talk about perfect conditions for the tomatoes and any plant really. They are living in plant heaven in this grow box built to keep them happy as a kitty on the settee.

It has been 2 months now, and I'll truthfully say I have never seen a better looking, prize winning tomatoes than the one I got going on now. It's looking good for the fare this year and I barely lifted a finger apart from filling it with water. To assert my eyes have been opened to a new way of growing plants in an understatement. Those people at Homegrown Hydroponics opened up a door to me that I can never close!

I don't miss the dirt, the cold, the furry rodents of the lack of water in nature! I got this baby purring in my spare guest room, and my plants grow like wild fire. I am in the process of starting a blog, and will post some photos soon as my plants ripen up. This year is looking good to take my rightful first place victory at the state fair! Aside from the potato, tomatoes are America's most important commercial vegetable, both in yearly weight consumed and annual yield.

To make is simple if you dont like to read: A hydroponics grow box is a device for growing any kind of plant in a self contained environment. These automated growing systems are typically totally enclosed, and contain a built in hps light, intake and exhaust fan system for ventilation, hydroponics system for growing, and odor control system for removing strong smells and odors. Some advanced grow box units even include air conditioning to keep running temperatures down, as well as CO2 to boost the plant's growth rate. Grow boxes are generally used by indoor gardeners who do not have a patch of soil to grow in, or by dwellers of high-rise condos who lack a garden. They are also popular with year round gardeners who wish to grow plants out of season, and in the dead of winter. These hydroponic grow box systems are generally very easy to use, and allow the gardener to tweak all aspects of a plant's environment to perfection for optimal growth.
